    From the Two-by-Twos to Freedom in Christ | The Garner's Story

    In this episode of Exploring Faith, Shane and Nikelle share their powerful journey out of a closed, legalistic religious system known as the "Two-by-Twos." Raised in it for generations, they grew up believing they were part of the only true way. But years of unanswered questions, hidden abuse, fear, and spiritual confusion eventually pushed them to search for something real.

    Independent Rocker to Jesus Worshiper | Shelley Olson's Story

    In our very first episode of the River Valley Church podcast, Pastor Dave Barber sits down with Shelley Olson—known to many as one of the electric guitarist on the worship team on Sundays. Shelley shares her powerful testimony of transformation: from growing up without faith, to living the wild life of a rocker, to a radical encounter with God that changed everything. Through sobriety, unexpected moments of truth, and the simple step of reading a salvation prayer, Shelley’s life was completely turned around. Today, she plays music not for herself, but to lead others into worship and glorify Christ.
