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!
When you live in obedience and when you're faithful with what you've been given, hear the "well done." In this message, Pastor Rob challenges us to stand strong and work for the "well done."

Episode 42: Pastor Rob has been leading River Valley for well over 25 years. He has seen many changes in his staff, from healthy transitions to unhealthy transitions. In this episode, he breaks down all that he has learned from hiring and firing from his time in ministry. Hiring someone is an exciting and large step to take, as the people we hire in ministry are responsible for ministering to our congregations. Having to let people go is another challenge, and Pastor Rob speaks to it all as he has seen many challenges in this area of leading an organization!
Episode 53: The talented Stephen Brewster, with the Harmony Group, sits down with Logan for a conversation around creating worship albums.

Pastor Anthony Cox is the campus pastor of our City Campus, and he sat down to break down his thoughts on pastoring an urban church, and how we can best serve the inner city communities. Whether you have a campus or church in the inner city, we encourage you to pray about how God wants to use you and your team there!
