Welcome to the first episode of the River Valley Podcast! Pastor Kirk and Pastor Logan talk about Home Team Weekend, Memorial Day and River Valley Conference. Each week, we will release a new episode to follow up on the weekend message, share prayer requests and praise reports and show new songs that our worship team is working on! Tune in and stay updated with what's going on around River Valley and around the world.
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!
Pastor Kirk continues our Christmas Series and encourages us to be bold about proclaiming our salvation.
Special Guest, Peter Reeves, reminds us that God's promise takes priority!
Episode 64: Pastor Rob jumps into the conversation surrounding moral failures and dealing with conflict within your team, and outside of your team. What is the appropriate response to another church of the same denomination starting just a few blocks away? So many great lessons to navigate, so tune in now!
Pastor Rob shares some practical ways of how we can know if we are Christians.

Episode 70: Cade Thompson, christian musician and songwriter, discusses what is was like to sign a record deal as a teenager, the challenges that he faced then, and the lessons that God taught him through starting his career so young. What was it like to hear himself on the radio back then? What are some of the thoughts and heart behind the songs on his newest album? Cade breaks down these questions and so much more!
