In today’s podcast, I chat with two of my very good friends from college who just happen to lead an incredible worship ministry at River Valley Church in Minneapolis, MN – Aaron Johnson (@ajondrums) & Ryan Williams (@ryan_wllms).

We also discuss the release of their new album, Edge of Heaven which contains some powerful declarations of worship. And as usual, it sounds great.
