63. Ryan Wekenman - Right Side Up

The Places Between - A podcast by The Places Between

I love how God weaves things into our lives when we take time to slow down and pay attention to what he’s doing. Sometimes though when we think we’re working on a project going a certain direction, something beautiful comes out of it and we get to see something new come to life. For me that was the desire to create a community who wanted to chase adventure and life together while experiencing all kinds of rad moments, but before that could get going God had a different idea and brought to life this podcast first where I could share OTHER people’s stories and share what God has been doing in their lives too in hopes of encouraging you as a listener.  Today’s guest had a similar experience in a number of places as he talked about his dream and the unique things that happened in the process between the dream and the realization of that coming to life years later.  Ryan Wekenman is a self-proclaimed bible nerd who is passionate about finding creative ways to help people wrestle with life’s biggest questions. He’s been a Pastor for the last ten years as he slowly worked his way through seminary. Four years ago he moved to Austin, Texas to plant a church called Red Rocks Austin with a few of his best friends. Any other time he has is spent drinking coffee, paddle boarding, and watching the Broncos.  We talk about the simplicity of Life Jesus offers but also the intentionality of living present to what God has for us, and some fun God stories along the way, so why don't you pull up a chair, grab that cup of coffee and dive in with us to the places between.  Resources mentioned:  Stories in Scripture Podcast by Ryan Wekenman Red Rocks Austin homepage / Red Rocks Austin Instagram page Right Side Up Children’s Book  by Ryan Wekenman Stay in the Story Devotional by Wendy Henkelman *also on YouVersion Bible app here Like this episode?
