  • Often incoherent, political talk is inappropriate and tonedeaf

    Lead pastor has a hard time stringing an idea together. Government wasn’t gods idea, it was reluctantly created against his suggestion because Israel demanded it. Politics have no place in church and supporting Trump as a Christian is the worst kind of hypocrisy.

  • A real encouragement!

    This podcast has been such a blessing, as I feel like I want to dive in deeper to the things preached on Saturday/Sunday, and remember them throughout the week. I love being able to listen while I’m at work, and I feel so encouraged hearing what the Lord is doing the in the life of my church River Valley, and in the lives of individuals at church. I so appreciate Pastor Kirk and Pastor Logan for taking the time to make this podcast!
