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.
Episode 31: Services are such a crucial aspect of many of our ministries. Whether it be a Sunday service for your congregation, a worship service dedicated to seeking after God, or a big Christmas Eve service where families gather together under candlelight. Services are important, and much ministry happens before, during, and after service time. Aaron Johnson, our Local Creative Pastor, and Caleb Moore, our Production Lead, break down what goes through their minds as they map out each service here at River Valley. They discuss the audience, the worship moments, the unity needed between all working parties, and so much more. Listen as they share on their passion for service moments, as this influences your incredible services to come!
Pastor Rob Ketterling shares a special message based on his new book, "Keep the Change."
Pastor Kirk challenges us to look to God for wisdom as we begin 2023.
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.

John Bevere shares a POWERFUL message and challenges us to be unoffendable. We pray this message encourages you to live an unoffendable life, pray for those who have mistreated you and seek reconciliation.
Episode 33: Listen in this week as Nathan Finochio and Logan dive deep into theology, how our beliefs as christians differ in culture today, and how that relates to pastoring through these times with topics that can be difficult to navigate. Nathan gives clear insight on staying biblically literate as we navigate these questions that our world is asking, and why following the instructions of the Bible is the best way to live. Grab some friends and we pray this episode blesses you as you navigate through these topics in your life!
Episode 37: Our Lead Care Pastors, Mark & Pam Johnson, sit down with us this week to discuss Pastoral Care. Pastors Mark & Pam balance care ministry so well, and it can be challenging when dealing with the most difficult seasons in many lives. Mark & Pam break down their experiences, advice, and what their goals are when caring for individuals. This is a great resource for all pastors as we will all continue to walk through tough seasons with people. Listen now and prepare to fill up a note page!
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!
Pastor Kirk continues our Christmas Series and encourages us to be bold about proclaiming our salvation.
