Pastor Kirk continues our Christmas Series and encourages us to be bold about proclaiming our salvation.
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 39: Here at River Valley, we have a local outreach ministry called Serve Our Community. Vicki Hernandez is our pastor who oversees Serve Our Community, and we are so blessed to have her join us for this episode! Pastor Vicki breaks down the heart behind serving our community, the work it takes to coordinate and plan these events, and what pouring out does to the community and the church alike. When we give with our own time and energy, it is amazing what God does to our hearts and to the community that receives it as well!
Pastor Kirk reminds us that blessings will come because we belong to the family of Christ. Today, you can be confident that God will supply everything according to His goodness.
Episode 52: Pastor Rob jumps back into Talking Church this week to discuss his new vision for 2023: Take Ground! Each year, Pastor Rob shares his vision message for our church, and the theme for the year. We commit to take ground in our church, communities, schools, country, and our world! As a Network, we are embodying this theme with tenacity and boldness, and we pray you will join us as we take ground this year!
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!
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!
Episode 47: From all of us here at River Valley Network, we want to wish you all a very Merry Christmas. We are praying over your Christmas services, your congregation, your families, and your team! Let this be a time of rest as we point people to remember what this exciting season is all about!
Pastor Kirk challenges us to look to God for wisdom as we begin 2023.
Pastor Rob kicks off 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting by sharing the importance of prayer and fasting in our lives.
Episode 36: We are very honored to be joined by Pastor Oneka Mcclellan for this week's episode! Pastor Oneka shares her and her family's exciting journey in ministry. As they left something so secure in being the Executive Pastors at their old church, to go launch a new church, she explains the thoughts, emotions, and faith it took to obey the Lord's calling on their lives. Stepping out in faith is not easy, and Oneka talks about holding onto the Lord as you take each step!
Episode 40: Dr. Allen Tennison, a seasoned pastor & professor at North Central University, sits down for a conversation around what it means to be a pastor. Dr. Tennison beautifully explains the importance of both biblical and theological literacy, and how having this knowledge will benefit your church, your enrichment in God's heart, and how you can be best prepared to answer today's most difficult questions.
