The enemy knows Scripture well enough to quote it. Most of us do not. In week two of Word of God, Ethan Matott looks at Scripture as a weapon to carry rather than a book to admire, and why we keep walking into the fight empty handed.

Some of the most faithful work in the church is the kind no one ever sees. In this episode, Ethan and Ryan sit down with Jady Griffin of Antioch Austin and Tory Mayo of The Well to talk about the preacher swap, church planting, and what it really mea... more

We have outsourced almost everything we used to remember to our phones, and somewhere in that trade we stopped carrying the words that could actually change us. In the first message of our new series, Word of God, Doug makes the case that memorizing ... more

The last two weeks, we swapped preachers to prove that the churches in Austin are not in competition with each other. We are for each other. But today, we are not. In this episode, the Afterthoughts crew is joined by Jady Griffin of Antioch Austin an... more

    I started listening to this and Red Rocks’ sermons after hearing one of you on That Sounds Fun with Annie F Downs. I absolutely love and appreciate the example you provide in discussing ‘disagreements’. The respectful reply of “I’m not sure I fully agree” with a responding “I’d love to hear more about that and your thoughts “ can change so many conversations in the best way. I pray more people begin approaching life like this. Thank you!

  • Perfect Balance of Hilarious and Inspiring

    I attend Red Rocks Austin and this podcast is the perfect thing to listen to during the week to laugh and be reminded of the truth that is so easy to forget as soon as you walk out of church on the weekend.

    I feel like I have learned so much more about the hearts of the Red Rocks Austin Staff and have enjoyed the added bonus of hearing about every embarrassing thing Ethan, Doug or Ryan has done recently.

    I use to attend Red Rocks Church in person and have relocated states. The podcast makes it so easy for me to listen and keep up while states away. Absolutely love having it 24/7.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Science of Hope with Riley Fuller | Afterthoughts Podcast - Ep. 137
Q: What is the practical framework for hope and how can someone apply it in daily life?
Riley explains a simple three-part framework: start with a clear goal, create a tangible pathway to reach it, and cultivate agency—the belief and power to move along that pathway. He emphasizes the importance of starting with one small step to trigger dopamine and build momentum, even if the final destination isn't immediately reachable.
How This Pastor Lost Faith and Found It Again | Afterthoughts Podcast - Ep. 136
Q: What are some dating or relationship lessons you wish you had known earlier for young adults?
Be kind, celebrate your spouse liberally, and ensure you're dating someone under pastoral guidance with mentors to avoid common pitfalls like playing house and unprotected dynamics.
Afterthoughts Podcast - Ep. 124 | Why People Are Reconsidering Christianity
Q: What percentage do you think of disgust, tertiary, like lower tier issues make up what everyone on TikTok is talking about all the time and arguing about in comment sections?
They debated that the split is around 35% theological core issues versus 65% preference-based, with a general consensus that many online debates revolve more around method and personal preferences than hard doctrine, though the exact split can vary by perspective.
Following Jesus with a Platform w/ Ella Swindle from UT Volleyball | Afterthoughts Podcast - Ep. 131
Q: What was that mind game like when you started gaining followers and were becoming a known player at UT?
Ella describes feeling pressure to live up to the initial success, the challenge of not letting volleyball be the center of her identity, and the deliberate choice to anchor her life in faith and community rather than in praise or performance.
Afterthoughts Podcast - Ep. 125 | Gen Z and the Search for Truth
Q: What makes Gen Z different in their approach to faith and truth?
Gen Z seeks truth in a way that is practical and non-dogmatic, preferring personal authenticity and real-life relevance over abstract arguments, which makes direct gospel proclamation and clear, honest messaging particularly effective.
