  • Why So Many Christians Fall Away (And How to Stand Firm in 2026) | EP 004

    Welcome to the Live for More Podcast. In this episode, Pastors Zach and Blake talk honestly about new year goals, spiritual habits, family worship, and the real danger of drifting from the gospel.

    As we step into a new year, many of us feel motivated to make changes — but good intentions alone won’t keep us faithful. Scripture shows that even confident believers can fall away when their confidence is rooted in themselves instead of Christ.

    📖 Key passages include Mark 14, Deuteronomy 6, Galatians 1, Isaiah 53, and John 3:16.

    If you’re feeling spiritually weary, unsure about your faith, or worried about drifting — this episode is for you. And if you know someone who needs to be reminded of Christ’s faithfulness, please share this with them.

    At River Oak Church, we are a welcoming family of imperfect people who share a passion for God, a passion for others, and a passion for graciously sharing the good news of Jesus Christ.  We enjoy an informal environment and Christ-exalting modern worship, and we are committed to following the truth of God’s Word.  We welcome you to come as you are, from wherever you’ve been, and join us!

  • Struggling to Feel Joy This Christmas? Watch This | EP 003

    Hello and welcome to the River Oak Recap Podcast! In this episode, Pastors Zach, Eric, and Caleb talk about joy — and why biblical joy is not the same thing as happiness.

    Joy can feel cheesy or unrealistic, especially during the Christmas season. But Scripture shows that joy isn’t something you manufacture by fixing your circumstances. Joy begins when you recognize that God is present — and it’s rooted in hope that the way things are now is not how they will always be because of Jesus.

    At River Oak Church, we are a welcoming family of imperfect people who share a passion for God, a passion for others, and a passion for graciously sharing the good news of Jesus Christ.  We enjoy an informal environment and Christ-exalting modern worship, and we are committed to following the truth of God’s Word.  We welcome you to come as you are, from wherever you’ve been, and join us!
