We do not want you to miss this encouraging and momentous conversation all the way back from 2021 with Mark Batterson.
Episode 63: Today on Talking Church we welcome River Valley staff, Kirk Graham and Aaron Johnson, to talk about the tension of creativity in ministry. How do you create towards the vision of your lead pastor? How do you encourage your creative teams in their process while also implementing boundaries? These questions and more are answered in this conversation. Don't miss it!
Pastor Kirk challenges us to look to God for wisdom as we begin 2023.
Episode 50: It is very important to recognize mental health, and the attacks of the enemy on the mental well being of our ourselves. Our special guest this week is none other than Detra Clark, who is a member of our church, and incredible Christian therapist who has helped so many people with various mental struggles. Detra explains the significance of getting help as a Pastor and leader, so that you can run at the pace God has set before you!
We continue in our Giving Series as Pastor Rob shares about giving over and above!
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!
Episode 69: Michael Murphy drops into the studio to speak on leadership and pastoral care. Michael is an incredible leader, pastor, mentor, consultant, and so much more. He specializes in helping pastors and churches grow within staff development and culture. We can't wait for you to listen!
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!
