  • River Valkey Podcast

    This podcast helps put church theology and church experience into right Biblical practice and understanding. It’s a nice dive into what you hear on Sundays but want to go deeper.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Jordan & Tanner Bezet | Confessions of Megachurch Pastor's Kids
Q: What have you learned about defending your family's reputation, both online and offline?
Defending the family name is delicate; online defense often backfires, so they avoid arguing in public spaces and focus on truthful, face-to-face dialogue. They stress the importance of showing genuine care, being honest, and using constructive feedback to protect both the family and the church's integrity.
Jordan & Tanner Bezet | Confessions of Megachurch Pastor's Kids
Q: How has working with family changed over time, and what boundaries have you learned to put in place?
Over time, it has become easier to navigate the dynamic as they've matured, but boundaries are still essential. They emphasize handling sensitive issues privately, escalating to the right leaders when needed, and protecting family integrity by avoiding unnecessary public conflict. They rely on discretionary communication, and in-person conversations tend to be more constructive than online interactions.
When Leadership Becomes the Limitation | Pastor Rob Ketterling on Growth, Capacity & Calling
Q: How do you assess when people have different measurements of success?
It's crucial to decide on priorities and ensure everyone aligns to those goals, as conflicting views can undermine overall success.
When Leadership Becomes the Limitation | Pastor Rob Ketterling on Growth, Capacity & Calling
Q: How have you seen that in leaders?
Leaders often struggle to keep growing after being in the same role for extended periods and sometimes require external feedback to recognize their limitations.
How to Act in a Green Room | Next Gen Leader Grant Skeldon
Q: How do you build bridges with people from different denominations?
Desperation among young leaders fosters unity as they seek collaboration and connection for collective growth in ministry.
