Just Run the Other Way

In this episode, Alex sits down with James, Tony, Hezekiah, and Jon to unpack a weekend of messages centered on contentment and the tension between ambition, wealth, and faith. The conversation explores how desire shapes our lives, why contentment is something learned rather than found, and how both scarcity and abundance can pull us away from trusting Christ. Drawing from Scripture, personal stories, and cultural observations, they examine the subtle ways discontentment shows up—from everyday comforts to deeper questions of identity and security. The group also reflects on how community, perspective, and lived experience help re-anchor our hearts in what actually lasts.Listen to James' messageListen to Tony's messageListen to Hezekiah's messageListen to Jon's messageSubscribe to our Messages podcast (Apple Podcasts / Spotify)Download a copy of the One More Series JournalVisit us online: rivchurch.comFollow us on InstagramSend us feedback: podcast@rivchurch.com—About Riverview ChurchRiverview Church is a multi-venue church based in Lansing, Michigan, where we invite everyone to know and enjoy Jesus as we stumble together in our pursuit to love like Him.
