RiveraLife

RiveraLife Unscripted started in 2017. After taking a few years off it's finally time to bring it back! Enjoy this preview of the vision behind the podcast and what to expect in this renewal season.

In a season where everyone is inundated with finding purpose and focusing in on what Jesus is saying, how do we balance rest, work, family, and calling? Our amazing friend Sydnie Shreffler shares all her wisdom on how to follow the voice of the Holy Spirit while juggling daily life. Don't forget to rate, review, and SHARE!

How do we process through pain? When is a good time to do that and why do we need to do that? Do I have to wait until I can afford 10 years of counseling or can me and Jesus sort this out? We're answering all of these questions in this episode as we contrast the process of pain with our friend Katherine Harrold against the practical side of working through pain with therapist Katy Headley!

In part 1 of many to come we start to explore the topic of homosexuality from both a traditional and an affirming view. This week Christina and Ricky sat down with a gay Christian (yes, they do exist!) to get a perspective on his journey. Regardless of any stance on the LGBTQ question, this interview was enlightening and moving. Rather than being met with any sort of “agenda” they heard the story of someone on a journey that sounds very similar to every Christian. Listen, rate, share, and please send us your thoughts!
