            <title><![CDATA[Independent Rocker to Jesus Worshiper | Shelley Olson's Story ]]></title>
            <description><![CDATA[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.
