Pastor Rob Ketterling encourages us to ask for God's will as we celebrate our biggest weekend of the year: Miracle Offering!
Today Pastor Logan sits down with Zach Windahl, author of The Bible Study and his newest book, See The Good! Listen as Zach shares about how there is good to see in all situations, how to pastor people with entrepreneurial spirits, and how he almost walked away from his faith. Don’t miss it!
Episode 53: The talented Stephen Brewster, with the Harmony Group, sits down with Logan for a conversation around creating worship albums. Stephen is a renowned music partner who has worked with River Valley and so many others, and is very well versed in the music industry. As he discusses what makes a great worship song, and the process that comes with writing and producing, ask God what He wants you to do with your own worship ministry!
Pastor Rob challenges us to stop limiting what God can do in and through us! God has the ability to do exactly what He told you He would do. Let’s believe that!
Episode 41: We have a very special guest to introduce to you all today! Portia Allen has been in ministry for 12 years and leads alongside her husband Clinton here at River Valley Church. She has had the opportunity to speak in Minnesota and across the country and is passionate about uplifting and empowering people. As a pastors kid from Texas, she has a deep love for the church. Portia's passion for equipping and helping the church is very powerful. Her time with us in this episode will be very helpful as your church navigates culture's most pressing questions.
Episode 57: Pastor Logan was in Portland a few weeks back with Pastor Rob, and he found a book that was published in the 1800's with stories from the famous Cambridge 7, Hudson Taylor and other amazing missionaries! Logan explains the background behind this historic book, beautiful passages and lessons from the author, and his encouragement to the network. Let's take a look back at what missions work was like 140 years ago!
Episode 44: We are so excited to have Terry Parkman join us again for today's episode on what it truly means to disciple this next generation. Pastor Terry explains that our world today is post modernism, post church, and post truth. This means that culture today is moving from facts and truth and toward feelings, personal desires, and sin to be their truth. In the world's view, it doesn't matter what the facts say, because you can just create your own truth. The next generation is getting taught to live this way, and we need to be equipped to truly minister to them!
Pastor Rob Ketterling starts a new series titled, "How Not to Read the Bible."
Pastor Kirk finishes our two-part series on the Prayer of Jabez. He reminded us that we need to be dependent on God because he cares for us.
Special Guest, Dave Ramsey, teaches how to serve God with your finances!
Episode 45: As a church, there can be what seems to feel like an unlimited number of events within the calendar year, let alone the calendar month! With all of your ministries going on, and each ministry needing weekly consistency combined with a few special events, it can be tricky to navigate planning the calendar. Our Associate Director of Experience, Michaela Johnson, and our Discipleship Pastor, Connor Ketterling, break down how River Valley plans their church-wide calendar, as well as their own personal calendars as they navigate ministry life on top of that. With the amount of campuses, staff, and congregants that River Valley has, we are excited to share our victories and lessons we learned with you!
