Sparkle - Saturday Session 2
River Valley Church
Episode 44: We are so excited to have Terry Parkman join us again for today's episode on what it truly means to disciple this next generation. Pastor Terry explains that our world today is post modernism, post church, and post truth. This means that culture today is moving from facts and truth and toward feelings, personal desires, and sin to be their truth. In the world's view, it doesn't matter what the facts say, because you can just create your own truth. The next generation is getting taught to live this way, and we need to be equipped to truly minister to them!
Episode 53: The talented Stephen Brewster, with the Harmony Group, sits down with Logan for a conversation around creating worship albums. Stephen is a renowned music partner who has worked with River Valley and so many others, and is very well versed in the music industry. As he discusses what makes a great worship song, and the process that comes with writing and producing, ask God what He wants you to do with your own worship ministry!
Pastor Kirk Graham kicks off our Christmas Series and shares about Jesus as the Prince of Peace.
Pastor Rob Ketterling shares a special message based on his new book, "Keep the Change."
Today Pastor Logan sits down with Zach Windahl, author of The Bible Study and his newest book, See The Good! Listen as Zach shares about how there is good to see in all situations, how to pastor people with entrepreneurial spirits, and how he almost walked away from his faith. Don’t miss it!
Pastor Kirk finishes our two-part series on the Prayer of Jabez. He reminded us that we need to be dependent on God because he cares for us.
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 Graham shares Part Two of our "How Not to Read the Bible" series.
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!
Episode 60: Today we are joined by Dr. Robert Crosby, president of Emerge Counseling Ministries and author of The One Jesus Loves. Tune in to hear about the importance of mental wholeness not simply mental wellness; how to intentionally build a friendship with Jesus; and what our calling as pastors really looks like.
Episode 37: Our Lead Care Pastors, Mark & Pam Johnson, sit down with us this week to discuss Pastoral Care. Pastors Mark & Pam balance care ministry so well, and it can be challenging when dealing with the most difficult seasons in many lives. Mark & Pam break down their experiences, advice, and what their goals are when caring for individuals. This is a great resource for all pastors as we will all continue to walk through tough seasons with people. Listen now and prepare to fill up a note page!
