Ep. 601 - Christian Music Festival Helps Teens Overcome Fear, Anxiety, Depression - Rob Roozeboom

Rob Roozeboom was diagnosed with muscular dystrophy at the age of five, and by the time he was in sixth grade, he began to feel unloved and unworthy. After years of struggling with his own sense of self-worth and brokenness, the Lord used him to do mighty things. Rob is now the founder and president of Rise Ministries, which also organizes the popular RiseFest, a Christian music festival featuring incredible headliners like Skillet and Phil Wickham. Looking back, Rob discusses his heart for reaching America’s teens and pointing them to the arms of Jesus. “It doesn’t matter what you do, it matters who you are,” Rob shares, echoing advice from his wonderful wife. “RiseFest is more than music, it’s a mission,” he says, and it will be taking place in Sheldon, Iowa, on June 7 and 8, 2024.
