Cheyenne Hills Podcast

Nathan and Pastor Galen continue the second of three pieces on the Biblical roots of foundational American values, and the onus of each generation to forge their link in the chain of history so that these values are not lost forever.

This week we dive deep into a subject Galen brought up in his sermon in the third part of The Great Reset series, and that is the danger of nominal Christians who weaponize scripture. It forces us to ask ourselves, am I living my life as a true Christian led by the Holy Spirit in a journey to be more like Christ, or do I just use scripture to get my way and religion to feel good about myself? It&#...

This week's message brings a unique Father's Day application of our Great Reset series: when looking out for all these things prophecy says to expect, where do we draw the line and how seriously do we take our roles as Christians? The example used was Fathers living — instead of a toxic masculitinity — a Biblical picture of masculinity. Pastor Galen also looks at ways current technologies...

Nathan returns from giving a speech about standing up for truth, and holding on to Christian values in order to pass on our religious freedoms to future generations. He and Galen unpack this further, finding the roots of what are called "conservitive" values in the Bible.

The Great Reset series continues to bring up issues with large implications — end-of-the-world level issues, in fact. However, while we encourage you all to dive into the study of the prophecies in scripture to get a better idea of what to be aware of, on our Companion Podcast during this series, Pastor Karsten and Kasey discuss the practical applications we can enact today and tomorrow. One of th...

Pastor Galen continues unpacking elements of eschatology (study of end times) that are showing glimpses of themselves in the present world. The beast that fools the world, promising peace under one world government, is the subject of this week's sermon. Check out our Companion Podcast airing on Tuesday mornings to take a deeper look at this message.

Nathan Winters and Pastor Galen are back in studio, speaking from the Christian viewpoint on the Bud Light debacle, local school library decisions, and ways people are finally pushing back as issues cross their personal line of "too far."

Pastor Galen opened up the Great Reset series with a sermon steeped in ideas both complex and simple about Biblical prophecy concerning Jesus's Second Coming. But what does that mean for us in our daily lives? Pastor Karsten and producer Kasey Orr dive deeper into some of the ideas and offer a few challenging questions to help apply the study of these prophecies to who we are right now, and wh...

Eschatology (the study of the final events in God's plan) has a tendency to stir fear, when in reality a good understanding should inspire hope! Pastor Galen unpacks why learning about the end should lead us to a spirit of optimism as we kick off our new series, The Great Reset. For further reflection and discussion, check out our Companion Podcasts which premier Tuesday mornings.

What did you think of God when you were 10 years old? Rounding out the series Knowing God, Keith Kautz got the not-so-small taks of speaking of the greatness and majesty of God. Keith joins Pastor Karsten and producer Kasey Orr in this episode to continue expanding on this question: What is God like? We speak about how we might have answered this question in different eras of life, and how what we...

If someone asked you, "What is God like," would you have an answer? Guest speaker Keith Kautz tackles the huge topic of the greatness and majesty of God in this final instalment of our Knowing God sermon series. His thesis statement: "What you think about God determines everything else in your life."

Pastor Karsten joins a slightly different edition of the podcast to talk about one of his primary focuses in the new Next-Gen Pastor role here at Cheyenne Hills Church. Hebrews 10:24-25 says "Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works. And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some poelple do, but encourage one another..." [NLT] When people quote th...

In this week's message, Pastor Galen challenged us to take inventory of our identity as Children of God , and gave us a powerful passage from the book to meditate on and internalize. Pastor Karsten Sween and podcast producer Kasey Orr unpack this idea further and pose some big questions for further reflection. Grow group leaders, this podcast is aimed to be a great resource for you, but we inv...

Do I, as a Christian, understand myself? Do I know my own real identity as a child of God and a co-heir with Christ, himself? Pastor Galen speaks today of this life-altering understanding of who we are, and challenges us to make this a driving part of our lives. The following is what we read together at the end: "I am a child of God. God is my Father. Heaven is my home. Every day is one day n...

Kai and Olivia Shon are officially Cheyenne Hills' new worship leaders, so we thought we'd take a quick moment to introduce them. You won't want to miss this moving conversation about how they discovered — through their relationship with one another — what worship is all about.

After this week's Mother's Day message from Pastor Galen, our companion podcast follows up on his visuals of the cliff and the bridge. The cliff being the severity and seriousness of God's justice and aversion to sin, and the bridge being our justification through Christ – a gift from the goodness of God – that leads us over that unpassable devide back home to God our Father. Karsten S...

When trying to draw a picture of the powerful mixture of goodness and severity, what luck this sermon falls on Mother's Day, because moms really have this down. This depiction of mothers is a reflection of our divine Father, who's attributes we're exploring in this series. Don't forget to check out the companion podcast to this series, airing on the Tuesday following each message,...

This episode was meant to be a primer for our Cheyenne Hills series, "Knowing God" based on the book by J. I. Packer, but our producer was at a conference last week so we're hoping better late than never! Pastor Galen and Nathan Winters are joined by that same producer in unpacking some of the bigger ideas in this theological opus, which has sold more than 1.5 million copies worldwid...

Welcome to a new project with hosts Karsten Sween and Kasey Orr. This weekend, we kicked off an exciting new sermon series called "Knowing God," named for the book of the same title by J. I. Packer. The pursuit to "comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth" of our marvelous creator so huge, we decided to explore it further in a series of...

We've kicked off an exciting new sermon series called "Knowing God," named for the book of the same title by J. I. Packer. The pursuit to "comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth" of our marvelous creator so huge, and we can't wait to spend the next month unpacking that. Today, Karsten Sween is our speaker and he setst the stag...

Who was the preacher you heard growing up who moved you and really got the Word to stick to your heart? Pastor Galen and Nathan Winters talk about their faith heroes, and remember Charles Stanley, who passed away on April 18, 2023.

Continuing to follow the interview with Brian Noel, we're given a miraculous story about what happens when we submit to the will of God even though we may not understand it. Cole Church gives the message this week and follows up Brian's submission story with that of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Jacob, who's name is changed in his story to Israel and becomes the father of God's chosen...

The movie and book titled "Jesus Revolution" has gained a lot of positive feedback from the Christian community, and reminds us there are ways to speak to the parts of each generation who aren't getting the Gospel message. Pastor Galen and Nathan Winters ask the question, "Who are the 'hippies' of our generation, and how can we reach them where they're at?"

Post Easter our Living Proof series — just like Brian Noel's story — turns from pain and darkness to hope, light and purpose. God calls us each according to our gifts, and Christ charged us to go out and use those gifts to spread the good news. So how do we realize our gifts, and how do we translate that into figuring out our purpose here on earth? Pastor Galen explores these questions in this...

Mass shootings have become an almost weekly event. As a Christian, when we see things like a pastor's child becoming a victim, it can lead us to struggle even more with understanding. How do we approach those who have suffered such loss? How do we reconsile our minds to the evil of a fallen world? How must we continue to approach those who look at Christians as full of hate or even to blame fo...
