Wellspring Church DFW

Has God ever thrown you a curve ball? No matter how much faith you have, you can't avoid disappointment because curveballs are part of life.  In this message, Pastor Michael teaches us how to deal with disappointment without falling into disillusionment.  

This week we have a special episode that has been previously recorded because Michael was out of town.  As the old saying goes, "The show must go on!" In this episode we have an in depth conversation about hearing the Holy Spirit in life generally and then specifically while being on mission with God.

Caleb Southerland continues our current series, Hope Rising! We've talked about Hope for the Hurting, Hope for the Depressed, and now this week, we'll discuss "Hope for the Addicted." The message will not just be for people who've struggled with drugs, sex, and alcohol. It's for anyone who's struggled with food addiction, sugar addiction, phone addiction, social media addiction, work addiction, re...

In this episode, we put a smile on your face and an extra zip in your step with our in depth conversation on depression . Seriously though, we discuss what the bible has to say about battling and beating that beast.

No human logic can break depression's spell when it hits. We can't control when it hits but God does give us some tools for finding our way through the fog and fighting light in our darkness. In this message, Pastor Michael shares four of those tools from the experience of Jeremiah, "the weeping prophet".

In this episode, we discuss how the resurrection is not just fire insurance for some day in the future but has real time real world implications.  Also, we get to listen to Michael recite his scripture memory verse for the week and gets a thumbs up from head mistress Stacey.

Easter Sunday! In this message, Pastor Michael talks about how a person with hope can endure anything, even torture.  But a person without hope can endure nothing, not even an exceedingly blessed life.  Pastor Michael teaches us how the resurrection of Jesus gives us access to a living hope, and to the joy of heaven, even in the midst of our pain!

In this episode, we dive deeper into the meaning of the crucifixion and the five miracles that surround it and its effect on us today.  We are also graced with Michael's amazing rendition of Meatloaf's "I would do anything for love" and then discuss what it was that Meatloaf would not do for love.

Why did God's son have to be tortured to death so that we could be forgiven? Could you explain this not only theologically, but with a heart that is dazzled by the beauty of Christ crucified? In this message, Pastor Michael communicates the "meaning of miracles" of the Cross to hep you understand and be dazzled by the beauty of Christ crucified!

In this episode, we have our first guest ever, Michael Miller.  Michael Miller has pastored churches in Denver and Dallas for the last decade and he travels internationally teaching and demonstrating the Gospel of the Kingdom.  Also in this podcast, Jeff considers changing his name to Michael and shockingly we discover, according to Michael Miller, that Pastor Michael Rowntree is the reason for al...

Join us as special guest Michael Miller continues our series on God Loves DFW!

In this episode, Michael and Jeff talk about overcoming the frustrations of God's apparent absence, and how pain has the power to either distract us or direct us into a richer experience of God's presence and purpose--which is making disciples.

Have you ever felt like God was absent? In the midst of tragedy, in the midst of everyday frustration, God is still working. Join us as Pastor Michael shows us how to find Him when He seems unfindable.

In this podcast we discuss stepping outside of the bubble that we tend to live in and how to engage the world around us.

The Gospel comforts us but it doesn't make us comfortable. It's very nature is to provoke.  Join us as Pastor Michael unpacks 3 ways the Gospel "provokes". In the process, you will learn how to share Jesus in a way that truly impacts the unbelieving world!

What does it mean for us to live a life around "Jesus The King"?  Join us as Caleb Southerland continues our current series, God Loves DFW!

Why do you live where you live? How might God use you to accomplish something far bigger than yourself?  Listen as Pastor Michael Rowntree helps us understand how to shake our city with the Gospel! 

What many of us call "hope" is something far less than the biblical reality. Hope is not waiting for the pain to go away- even unbelievers do that- Hope is being pregnant with a promise that one day God will redeem all things. Such a hope is necessary for us to endure hardships of life. Join us as Pastor Michael unpacks the beauty and extensiveness of God's redemptive work in which we hope!

Scientists have often claimed that human beings are inconsequential in the light of our vast cosmos- "chemical scum", according to the late Stephen Hawking. In the evolutionary sequence, we are nothing more than somewhat sophisticated animals.  According to God, however, our value is disproportionate to our size. Our cosmic smallness is part of the divine design! In this message, Pastor Michael sh...

God is a God of human flourishing, which means that His heart is for you to flourish. In this message, Pastor Michael unpacks what it means to be made in God's image so that we can flourish by living as we were designed!

We hear a lot about toxic masculinity, but little about actual masculinity... a lot about feminism, but little about femininity. God wants us to understand our design so we can live it out as masculine men and feminine women, made in the image of God!

Your freedom is never just about you. My freedom is never about just me.  Whether we are talking about freedom from addiction, or anxiety or debt or trauma or shame or anything else...the freedom we walk in or don't- always leaves a multi-generational impact.  In this message, Pastor Michael talks about how to leave a legacy of freedom. If we want to leave a legacy of freedom, we have to understan...

Have you ever noticed how hard it is to do the right thing and how easy it is to do the wrong thing?  The reason is that we face more than a physical opposition; we face spiritual opposition.  In this message, Pastor Michael teaches us how to win the spiritual battle so that we can enjoy the freedom Jesus purchased for us on the cross! 

Church is not a place or an event, but a family to be part of. The more deeply we relate to church in the way God intends, the more He sets us free from cycles of addiction, guilt, and shame.  In this message, Pastor Michael gives us the tools we need for relating to church as family!
