Riverside Youth

Feelings are real — but they were never meant to be your leader.

In this message, Pastor Josh challenges us with a hard question: Are your feelings controlling your decisions, or is God?

Our culture says, “Follow your heart.”

But what happens when your heart changes every five minutes?

Lean in and let God speak to you! 

In this episode of the podcast, Pastor Josh unpacks the story of King David and Bathsheba and what it teaches us about respecting boundaries in our relationships and daily lives. Together, we explore how small compromises can lead us further than we ever intended, why boundaries are actually God’s protection (not punishment), and how we can build healthy habits that honor God, ourselves, and others.

It's not "Just a relationship."

It's not "Just talking."

It's not "Just having fun."

In this episode of our new series "Red Flags, Pastor Josh breaks down the truth most people ignore: Who you date matters! 

The person you choose doesn't just hold your hand, they influence your habits, your standards, your faith, and your future. Are you dating potential... or ignoring red flags?
