River Valley Church
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.

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!

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."
