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 65: Ryan Williams disects his process within writing worship music, the roadblocks he experiences as an established songwriter, and the direction he sees worship music heading from seeing where it has been.

He is not there, for he has risen! Pastor Rob shares a powerful message about Easter.
Episode 46: Pastor Kirk Graham, our Executive Pastor of Local Ministries & Creative, jumps back in the podcast to discuss staff meeting culture & staff discipleship.

We know this will rejuvenate you as you dream new ways to bring the most joy to your team, as that is what our God can bring to us each and every day!
