In this episode of the Processing Podcast, Pastor Kirk is joined by pastors Josiah and Connor for a conversation on the 4th of July, patriotism, and what it means to be grateful for America while keeping Christ and His kingdom first. Together, they reflect on American freedom, unity, the responsibility Christians have to live as a witness, and how the return of Christ should create urgency, righteousness, and eager anticipation rather than fear or escapism. The conversation also touches on John Bevere’s message, confession and obedience, public faith in sports and culture, and why believers should live ready for the King who is coming.

Pastor Rob joins the podcast with Logan for a meaningful conversation that begins with Kids Camp, Father’s Day, and memories of Pastor Rob’s dad. They reflect on Jonah’s response to God’s mercy, the challenge of loving people we disagree with, and what it means to stay on mission in Minnesota and beyond. The episode closes with future vision for River Valley, the importance of listening to the Lord, and encouragement to stay in the flow of what God is building in the church.

In this episode of Processing, attorney and True North Legal General Counsel Renee Carlson joins Kirk and Logan to discuss some of the legal battles and court cases impacting churches, religious freedom, and biblical values in Minnesota and across the nation. Together, they unpack high-profile cases involving churches, prison ministry, free speech, and the growing tension between faith and public policy. Whether you're a pastor, church member, or simply interested in how the law intersects with faith, this conversation provides important insight into the issues the Church is talking about right now.

In this episode, Anthony and Josiah process everything from coffee, sabbatical, church unity, and the launch of River Valley Tokyo to identity, truth, and cultural conversations happening right now. They also talk through aliens, Disclosure Day, biblical cosmology, and why Christians should stay focused on the substance of the gospel instead of getting lost in distractions. The conversation closes with reflections on the book of Jonah, abiding in Scripture, communion, and Jesus as the Bread of Life.

Logan and Kirk are joined by recent high school grads for a candid conversation about growing up in the church, stepping into the next season of life, and what it looks like to carry their faith forward. The guys dive into the dynamics between generations, why honoring the Boomers and older saints around us matters more than we think, and wrap up with a fun deep-dive into clean comedy and why Nate Bargatze might be the most skilled comedian alive right now.

Pastors Anthony and Dave take over this week’s episode of Processing Podcast for a wide-ranging conversation on Memorial Day, patriotism, faith, and honoring fallen soldiers.

The episode closes with a challenge for men to step into spiritual strength, discipline, and leadership through the Be the Man Challenge. 

Kirk and Logan are back together for a wide-ranging conversation on faith, family, and life in the Spirit. They discuss how to lovingly reach family members who may identify as Christians without showing spiritual fruit, how parents can think wisely about kids and social media, and why Pentecost still matters for the church today. The episode closes with a deeper reflection on prayer, waiting on God, and learning to depend on the Holy Spirit instead of striving in human effort.

Kirk is joined by guest evangelist Micah Mac as the podcast returns to its normal weekly rhythm after a four-part live YouTube series on the book of Samuel. They kick things off by processing Minnesota playoff storylines, late-night games, and the drama surrounding controversial moments in sports before shifting into the renewed conversation around UFO files, disclosure, and how Christians should think about fear, mystery, and the supernatural. Micah also shares powerful stories from his life and ministry, including ministering angels, his call as an evangelist, his passion for the local church, and the importance of raising up the next generation. 

This week, Logan is joined by Pastor Dave Olson and Pastor Jamer Shrum as they wrap up the Samuel series with a verse-by-verse conversation through 1 Samuel 16. They unpack the anointing of David, what it means to be a person after God’s own heart, and how God looks beyond outward appearance to the inner life. Along the way, they talk about obedience, worship, the power of the Holy Spirit, faith-filled response, and how God often prepares us in hidden seasons before calling us into something greater.
