Money isn't the problem—the heart is. In this episode, Costi Hinn walks through what Scripture actually says about possessions, wealth, and when buying crosses the line into sin.

Start with the heart, not the blueprint. That single idea reframes the way we think about ministry, leadership, and everyday service. We draw a clear line from Exodus 25–40 to our modern rhythms and show why God insists on consecration before construction and holiness before hustle. If you've ever felt pressure to produce results fast, this conversation offers a liberating pattern: finish what God spoke, honor the details, and let His presence do what your effort cannot.We walk through the tabernacle narrative as more than ancient architecture. It becomes a living template for alignment, where willing offerings precede precise instructions and community covenant holds the work together. The theme is consistent: God's kingdom is not chaotic; it is beautifully ordered, and that order protects intimacy rather than stifles it. Along the way, we take a sober look at shortcuts and substitutions—why they promise glory but leave us empty—and we celebrate the quiet victories of those who serve without applause.You'll hear how unity is both miracle and mandate, shaped by truth rather than trend. Reports from global ministry moments, including a surge of hunger and alignment in Brazil, remind us that when people rally around purpose, doors open and momentum builds. We also speak directly to volunteers and leaders carrying “small” assignments: ushers, translators, sound teams, intercessors, teachers. The tabernacle needed every piece, and so does the church. Your portion matters, and when it's joined in covenant, it becomes a place where God's presence rests.If you're ready to trade hurry for holiness and hype for alignment, this episode will steady your hands. Listen, share with a friend who needs encouragement, and leave a review to help others find the conversation.

In Genesis 22:5 we find the first mention of "Worship" in the Bible. Sadly, many believers are lacking this area and it is the foundation of the Christian Life.

Pastor Andrew Nemeth teaches out of 2 Peter on endurance in the Christian life. He encourages us to prepare for the “marathon” of the Christian walk by committing to decades of faithfulness, not days. We're also joined by special guest worship leader: Judah Dawkins!

Rest isn't laziness—and play isn't sin. But both can be misused. In this episode, Costi Hinn walks through biblical rest, Christian liberty, and eight diagnostic questions to help you steward your time for God's glory.

Ever felt a quiet nudge that wouldn't let go? We dive into how those whispers become world-shaping moments when you dare to obey, featuring Pastor Condon of Infinite Church and the riveting backstory behind his new book, Endless Possibilities. From worship ministry to church planting, he walks us through the messy, human process of discerning God's voice as ideas and instincts—and the bold choices that turn vision into reality.When the pandemic shut their rented venue, a stunning opportunity surfaced: a $3 million facility they couldn't afford. Instead of scaling the dream down to a down payment, they asked for the full miracle. The church rallied for 30 days, “fell short” on paper, and then watched a neighboring congregation initiate a merger, the seller accept a creative offer, and a seven-figure gift arrive just days before closing. The result? A debt-free facility and a community renewed in courage. It's a masterclass in faith leadership, resource mobilization, and practical obedience under pressure.We also explore how creativity springs from trust. A simple nudge led to the song “Cover Me,” which went on to impact millions—evidence that small acts can ripple far beyond our plans. Along the way, we offer clear takeaways for pastors, planters, and everyday believers: how to test a nudge, why faith often looks illogical, how to push past analysis paralysis, and how to surround yourself with people who expand your faith. If you're sitting on a dream—start the church, buy the building, teach the study—this conversation will help you take the next step with confidence.Ready to move from whisper to action?

Being outside is having a cultural moment. From hiking trends to tallying up 1,000 hours to taking cold plunges and sharing “touch grass” memes, we're constantly told that getting outdoors is the cure for everything. But is outside really better than inside? And what does Scripture actually have to say about nature, embodiment, and the way we inhabit the world?In this episode of The GoodKind Podcast, Clayton Greene, Chris Pappalardo, and Amy Kavanaugh wrestle—playfully and seriously—with the cultural pressure to be “outdoorsy.” From camping debates to neighborhood walks, they explore what we're really longing for when we head outside: connection, movement, wonder, margin, and freedom from distraction.Together, they reflect on how the Bible consistently points us toward creation as a place of encounter with God—and how ordinary outdoor rhythms (not just epic adventures) can reorient our hearts, our families, and our faith.Takeaways You don't have to climb a mountain to benefit from the outdoors.Ordinary neighborhood walks count.Movement + nature + less tech = meaningful presence.Outside often creates space for better conversations.Wonder is available close to home.The Bible consistently uses creation to reveal God's character.The goal isn't aesthetic outdoor living—it's attentiveness.Chapters 00:00 - Cold Open01:09 - Welcome & episode setup06:20 - Is outside better than inside?15:22 - Nature, formation, and embodied life24:34 - The best kind of outside time29:02 - Creation in Scripture36:08 - Practical ways to reclaim ordinary outdoor rhythms

Light Up Your Darkness | The Gospel of John | John 1:4–5“In Him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” — John 1:4–5Darkness doesn't disappear by accident — it is driven out by light.In this message from our series The Gospel of John, we explore the powerful truth found in John 1:4–5: Jesus is the Light of Life. His light doesn't avoid darkness… it confronts it, exposes it, and overcomes it.One of the most challenging parts of following Christ is becoming aware of the darkness within our own hearts — the hidden struggles, the unaddressed sin, the fear, the pride, the wounds we try to manage on our own. But the good news of the Gospel is this: Jesus doesn't shame us in our darkness — He shines into it.If this message encourages you, make sure to like, subscribe, and share it with someone who needs the light of Christ today.#GospelOfJohn #LightInTheDarkness #John1 #jesusthelight This week's message is from our Lead Pastor, John Letterman.Let's Connect: http://bit.ly/3XbRE9TFree Access To RightNow Media:https://app.rightnowmedia.org/join/rccreadingSocial Media:@riverviewchristian on Facebook and InstagramWebsite:riverviewchristian.churchSupport the show

Greg explains that waiting is a normal part of the Christian life, then he answers questions about prophetic words, having a peace about prodigal family members, what makes marriage legitimate, attending baptisms at liberal churches, training for door-to-door evangelism, and a Trinity analogy.   Topics: Commentary: Waiting is a normal part of the Christian life. (00:00) Is it a biblical practice for someone to have a “prophetic word” for others and seem to know things they couldn't know, or is this fortune-telling? (08:00) Is it wrong to have a peace about the fact that prodigal family members might not come back to the Lord? (24:00) Is marriage legitimate if it's not done through the government, and what's the biblical outline for what makes a marriage legitimate? (30:00) If we shouldn't attend an LDS baptism because they believe in different core doctrines, couldn't the same apply to some liberal churches?

In this episode of The Biggest Table, host Andrew Camp delves into the intersections of food, theology, and the psychological theory of disgust with Paul and Billie Hoard, who co-authored the book Eucontamination. Paul, a licensed counselor and psychoanalytic psychotherapist, and Billie, a trans woman and writer, discuss how concepts of disgust operate at both individual and sociological levels, impacting relationships within the church and society. They explore the theological implications of disgust, the transformative power of love, and how practices like the Eucharist and foot washing can help Christians move past disgust reactions to foster intimacy and community. They also share personal anecdotes, discuss their fondest and least favorite foods, and emphasize the critical importance of sharing meals to experience God's love and grow in fellowship.Paul Hoard, PhD, LMHC, is a licensed counselor, psychoanalytic psychotherapist, and associate professor of counseling psychology at The Seattle School of Theology and Psychology. His scholarship focuses on Lacanian psychoanalytic theory, sexuality, white-body supremacy, perpetration-induced traumatic stress, and the theological logic of disgust. He has spoken and published internationally on topics including purity culture, trauma, eucontamination, and the intersections of theology and psychoanalysis. In addition to his academic work, Dr. Hoard maintains a private counseling practice and provides clinical supervision and consultation. He is the co-author, with his sister Billie Hoard, of the book Eucontamination: Disgust Theology and the Christian Life.Paul's Substack Billie Hoard is a trans woman, teacher, writer, and something of an Anabaptist radical. Together with her brother Paul, she is the author of "Eucontamination". Billie holds an MA in liberal arts from St. John's College & she writes about queerness, fairy tales, C. S.

The apostle Paul had been through it all. Beaten, shipwrecked, wrongly accused and put in prison…the list goes on and on. His crime? Spreading the good news of Jesus Christ. And through it all, Paul makes the bold statement that he has learned to be content through all things. This statement stands firmly against our culture and our constant push to gain more. How can Paul's words push us to find peace in our lives, no matter the situation?

In this episode, Costi Hinn addresses the extremes believers often fall into when it comes to alcohol and explains how the Bible calls us to thoughtful, God-honoring discernment.

What if the difference between a stagnant ministry and a multiplying one is a single idea: flow. We unpack how movement—not mere activity—creates life in a church, drawing from vivid biblical metaphors of rivers that bring renewal and a bloodstream that sustains the body. With guest pastor and author Brother Sayers, we chart practical pathways that guide people from seekers to believers, believers to disciples, and disciples to ministers, while guarding against the bottlenecks that keep gifted people on the sidelines.We break flow into three domains—into, within, and out of the church—and examine three vital streams across them: people, resources, and service. You'll hear how to build ministry pathways that actually move, why rotating and releasing leaders accelerates growth, and how to spot red flags like centralized control, unclear roles, and overprogramming. On the resource side, we talk cheerful giving, financial transparency, and the mindset shift from scarcity to stewardship that funds mission without burning out a few faithful givers.Service culture gets a hard look too: how to cultivate joyful volunteers, avoid burnout, and extend impact beyond four walls through collaboration, district events, and community service. We also introduce a simple measurement model—lead and lag metrics—that helps leaders audit momentum and make spirit-led, practical adjustments. The challenge lands personal and clear: tend your spiritual inflow through prayer and the Word, then pour out. Be a river, not a reservoir.Along the way, we share updates from Europe, celebrate church milestones, cast vision for the New York crusade, and invite you to join a movement that measures what moves and sends people with purpose. If you're ready to replace busywork with meaningful motion, press play, take notes, and start unblocking the stream. If this spoke to you, subscribe, share with a leader who needs it, and leave a review with one action you'll take to be the flow.We love to hear from our listeners!

Exodus 12:1-13

Embrace God's Call On Your Life | Habakkuk 1:5“Look at the nations and watch— and be utterly amazed. For I am going to do something in your days that you would not believe, even if you were told.” — Habakkuk 1:5 (NIV)In Part 2 of our vision series looking ahead to what God has for Riverview Christian in 2026, we're reminded that God is always at work—often in ways bigger than we can imagine. The question isn't if God is calling… it's whether we will embrace it.Every Christian is called. Every believer is gifted. And like Moses in Exodus 3, we often respond with, “Who am I?” But God's answer is the same today as it was then: “I will be with you.” Our calling isn't built on our confidence—it's built on His presence.As we look forward together, this sermon challenges each of us to move from hesitation to faith—and to trust that the Great “I AM” still sends, equips, and walks with His people.If this message encouraged you, share it with someone who needs the reminder that God has called them too.#RiverviewChristian #Habakkuk1 #EmbraceTheCall #FaithInAction #ChurchVision #IAm #TrustGodThis week's message is from our Lead Pastor, John Letterman.Let's Connect: http://bit.ly/3XbRE9TFree Access To RightNow Media:https://app.rightnowmedia.org/join/rccreadingSocial Media:@riverviewchristian on Facebook and InstagramWebsite:riverviewchristian.churchSupport the show
