Let’s talk about adulting— actual adulting. Not just paying bills or keeping a houseplant alive, but the kind that involves emotional maturity, healthy boundaries, and conscious self-leadership. Because let’s be honest, most of us weren’t taught how to be fully functioning adults… and it shows. Joining us is Michelle Chalfant , licensed therapist turned holistic life coach, creator of The Adult Chair® model, and author of the new book The Adult Chair: Get Unstuck, Claim Your Power, and Transform Your Life . With millions reached through her podcast, coaching programs, and retreats, she’s here to walk us through the five pillars of being a healthy, grounded adult. Here’s the truth: being an adult isn’t about checking boxes or pretending you’re fine. It’s about owning your truth. Feeling your feelings. Practicing compassion without letting yourself off the hook. It’s about setting firm boundaries—with no need for justification—and recognizing that your triggers are not flaws, they’re clues. None of us were handed a guidebook for how to grow up emotionally. We inherited patterns from people who were figuring it out as they went. But what Michelle shares today is empowering: it’s never too late to unlearn what no longer serves you and become the adult you were meant to be. Whether you’re starting this work or knee-deep in your personal development era, this episode will meet you where you are—and help you move forward with clarity, self-trust, and strength.

Essentials We Believe - What a Friend We Have in Jesus - JUNE 15, 2025 56:06

7 днів тому56:06

56:06

Dads, it is not too late to tell your family that what you want for FATHER’S DAY is for them to come to church with you! This Sunday we get to celebrate dads at Riverbluff. We’ll have several from our church family sharing some of their heart-felt thoughts about their dads and husbands. We will also continue in our ESSENTIALS WE BELIEVE teaching series. This Sunday, we turn our attention to what we believe about JESUS. I am so grateful, that on FATHER’S DAY we’ve landed here in our study, because no one was ever more lovingly devoted to His FATHER, than JESUS! Join us as we celebrate dads and turn our attention to JESUS, who revealed to us the truth about our FATHER in Heaven! Pastor Joe Still…

Essentials We Believe - Jesus Shows The Advantages Of The Holy Spirit - JUNE 8, 2025 1:01:09

If my math is correct, there are 201 more shopping days until Christmas!! Did that statement surprise you? Are you wondering, “Why on earth is Pastor Joe bringing Christmas up in June?” I think most of us would agree, that for the world, Christmas is the most celebrated of the Christian Holy Days, with Easter coming in second. For many Christ-followers in the “Western World”, those are often the only two Christian Holy Days we celebrate. In the last 5 or so years, through my study of God’s Word, I’ve had a growing a conviction that JESUS would have His disciples add a third Holy Day Celebration to our annual calendars that would on par with Christmas and Easter. That Holy Day is PENTECOST! Through His life and teachings, JESUS showed incredibly great honor for the HOLY SPIRIT and urged His disciples to do the same. JESUS went as far as to say that the HOLY SPIRIT in us, is better than JESUS beside us! While at Christmas, we celebrate the “Incarnation” of GOD on the earth, on Pentecost we celebrate the “Indwelling” of GOD in our lives. I’m praying that you’ll make plans right now to join us this Sunday at our service at 9:30 or 11AM, or in our livestream service at 11AM on riverbluff.live, as we celebrate the coming of the HOLY SPIRIT in our on-going study of Riverbluff’s “Essential Beliefs”.

Kingdom Math: A Formula for the Great Commission - June 1, 2025 54:12

21 день тому54:12

54:12

The Great Commission…most all of us are quite familiar with the final words our Lord Jesus shared with His disciples, as recorded in the Gospel of Matthew, instructing them to “go and make disciples.” Indeed, with this command, Jesus gave His followers a “life purpose” that would guide them wherever they would go and with whomever they would speak from that day forward. Certainly, in the years that followed, each of them would boldly proclaim the Good News of Christ Jesus to their friends, families, neighbors, and other communities far and wide. But each of them was led to do so by the Holy Spirit in unique ways. Today, we find ourselves as the eternally grateful benefactors of their decision to adhere to Jesus’ command to make other disciples. Indeed, we are those “disciples of all nations” many generations later. And as His disciples, the Great Commission applies to us as well. Like them, it should give us “life purpose” as well. However, the manner in which we walk out the Great Commission may look, feel, and sound very different as we following His leading in our lives. We are each given a mission designed just for us. The question is: How are we doing with that? During this message, we will celebrate the amazing high school and college graduates from our River family. As we launch them into the next chapter of their lives to share the Good News of Jesus, we will all take an opportunity to consider the role the Great Commission does (or should) play in our lives. And if you aren’t quite sure what your mission is, I will be sharing some practical tips that you can use to discover it. Congratulations to the Class of 2025!

Essentials We Believe - Eternal Security - May 25, 2025 33:17

We continue this Sunday with our series on Essential Beliefs. This week we will be focusing on Eternal Security. I have a friend who retired from pastoring, and he often says that one of the enemy's biggest schemes is to steal the joy of Christians. Have you ever had thoughts like: Am I really saved? Did I follow the right steps to gain salvation? How can I go to heaven after what I've done? If you have been robbed of your joy and peace of mind, then this week's message is for you! I’m praying that you’ll make plans now to join us this Sunday at our service at 9:30 or 11AM, or in our livestream service at 11AM on riverbluff.live, as we study the Truth of God's word on Eternal Security.

Essentials We Believe - God Is part 1 - May 11, 2025 50:16

5 weeks тому50:16

50:16

Our culture seems to have a fascination with celebrities, people who are rich or powerful or popular. We want to know about what they do, how they live, and even what they wear. It’s the topic of many magazines, podcasts, and late night shows. What if one of these could actually interview GOD? He is, after all, the most powerful personality in the entire universe. No one is richer than GOD! It is from His person that everything began, and it is before Him that we will all eventually stand. GOD is a personal GOD, and His story is the greatest story of all. If such an interview could be done, what would it cover? Obviously not details such as His clothes and house. But wouldn’t you like to know what interests GOD most? Wouldn’t a question like, “GOD, what has caused you the deepest hurt, the greatest joy?” spark your interest? Wouldn’t you like to know what GOD is really like? Just because this interview couldn’t actually happen, we shouldn’t ignore the truth that GOD IS A PERSON, who has passions and interests and plans. Join me as we take a deep dive into the ESSENTIALS WE BELIEVE ABOUT GOD. Pastor Joe Still…

Essentials We Believe - Why Study Christianity's Essential Beliefs - May 4, 2025 1:00:17

7 weeks тому1:00:17

1:00:17

Christian Confessions, Creeds, & Core Belief expressions, have been around a very long time, some since the 2nd century. I, along with others would argue that some of the New Testament statements found in the writings of the Apostle Paul, became the earliest Creeds of the Christian Church. Do these hold value for us today? I believe JESUS' half-brother, Jude, would answer, “yes” to that question, because they can help us “contend for the faith that was once for all entrusted to the saints.” (Jude 1:3) I’m praying that you’ll engage in this 8-10 week series, as we take a deep dive into the ESSENTIALS WE BELIEVE!

Is Our God Really Good? - April 27, 2025 57:58

8 weeks тому57:58

57:58

When you were growing up, maybe like me, you were taught the prayer, “God is great, God is good, let us thank Him for our food." Many of us learned at an early age, God's great and God's good! If you've been in church any length time, you’ve heard some pastor or worship leader say, “God is good," and the congregation shouts back, "All the time." Then he'll say, "All the time," and they say, "God is good." But for many who regularly gather in worship of GOD, there is a unspoken question about this matter that plagues their souls. The soul-plaguing question regarding this: “IS GOD REALLY GOOD ALL THE TIME?” Why don’t you join me as we explore this soul-plaguing question? Pastor Joe Still…

When Death Was Arrested - Easter Sunday - April 20, 2025 57:03

9 weeks тому57:03

57:03

While Riverbluff’s “Weekly Update” arrives in your inbox every Friday, this one comes on what is the most sacred Friday of the year. It is often called Good Friday. It is “good” because it is the day, over 2,000 years ago, when GOD demonstrated how truly Good and unconditionally Loving HE is toward humanity. HE demonstrated this by sacrificing HIS one and only begotten SON on the Cross of Calvary. Though you and I were not there physically, the Bible says that our sin was. The Apostle Peter writes that Jesus personally carried our sin in His body on the cross so that we might die to sin and be made alive to a right relationship with GOD. {1 Peter 2:24} Though there was much sorrow and fear for the Disciples of Jesus on that day, their greatest joy was but three days away. And so it is with us! I’m praying you’ll make plans right now to join us this RESURRECTION SUNDAY , as we celebrate our great joy “BECAUSE HE LIVES”! Pastor Joe Still…

What Jesus Said in Red: Jesus’ Thirst Quenches Our Soul's Great Thirst - April 13, 2025 54:55

10 weeks тому54:55

54:55

Fun fact: In a healthy human being over half of our body’s composition is water, 60% to be exact. That means that if you weigh 175 pounds you’re walking around with about 105 pounds of water! Even with all of that water, your body still must have an adequate daily supply, or bad things begin to happen in you. Most people don't realize how bad dehydration is for you. When you get dehydrated, you get headaches, you get muscle cramps, your brain even begins to shut down. Your brain has to have water in order for you to think! When JESUS spoke His fifth words from the Cross, “I thirst”, Physicians who have studied and written about His Crucifixion, tell us that JESUS was suffering from severe dehydration. It is amazing that He had the clarity of mind to accomplish all He did, through what He said from the Cross. He did it all for you! Thirst is a shared human experience, but it is not only a need for fluid intake. Every human soul also thirsts. We all thirst for GOD! Unfortunately far too many of us try to quench that with other things that never satisfy the deep thirsting in our souls. In this message, Pastor Joe Still teaches how JESUS' great moment of thirst, can quench the deepest thirsts in our lives.…

What Jesus Said in Red: Jesus Forsaken for Our Forgiveness - April 6, 2025 57:47

11 weeks тому57:47

57:47

JESUS FORSAKENNESS means my FORGIVENESS FOR OUR FORGIVENESS, JESUS FORSAKEN SUBSTITUTES? The label might read “plant-based meat substitute”, but I’m sorry, there’s just no such thing as a “Garden Burger”; I don’t care who puts one on their menu. “Hamburger” means meat! And please, don’t try to fool me into thinking “carob” is “chocolate.” It never has been nor will it ever be, in any universe! Seems like we have substitutes for everything in our day. Though I am no fan of substitutes in my food, unfortunately I’ve had to turn to them more since my little cardiac event of July ’23! There is one substitute, for which I will be forever thankful, and I pray you will be too. Theologians call it “Sacrificial Substitutionary Atonement”. This is what Jesus did on the Cross for the world, where HE was FORSAKEN by everyone, including His FATHER! In this message, we explore why Jesus cried out “My God, My God, why have You forsaken me?” Pastor Joe Still…

What Jesus Said in Red: About Love - March 30, 2025 59:57

12 weeks тому59:57

59:57

This Sunday, as we continue in our teaching series, “WHAT JESUS SAID IN RED”, we examine the third of the seven, recorded statements, Jesus made while dying on the Cross. This statement, found in John 19:25-27, is a very personal statement of love Jesus makes directly to his mother and one of his very best friends. Jesus endured incredible pain as his organs began shutting down. Even in the midst of that great suffering, Jesus lovingly provides for the long-term care of his mother. Only by using the stake driven through his feet as a cruel step, could Jesus gain every breath needed to speak a word. Pushing Himself up Jesus would utter these loving words of provision and protection for his mom, demonstrating his deep devotion as her eldest son. His words here, though brief, teach us much of what it means for us to love the Jesus way. Early in his teaching ministry, Jesus began teaching His followers that, “TO LOVE”, was the greatest commandment of all. The way He died boldly demonstrated what He had declared. Nobody ever loved like Jesus; and yet He called all who would follow Him, to love as He loved. Consider this is my personal invitation to you, to join me, this Sunday at our service at 9:30 or 11AM, or in our livestream service at 11AM on riverbluff.live, as we learn to love the Jesus way!

The older I’ve grown, the more aware I’ve become, I can learn something new from anyone, if I will listen carefully and truly “be in the moment” with them. My grandkids have been especially helpful in teaching me this lesson! This principle is particularly applicable when it comes to GOD’s Word. Every person who shows up in the scriptures had their story handpicked by GOD to be included in His Holy Word. Each of their story’s deserves our undivided attention, because each can help us see a different facet of our “Good and Beautiful GOD”! I pray you’ll join me as we learn from a dying thief how to have a “Sure Salvation”! Pastor Joe Still…
