You might finally understand why people in our culture seem so angry, sad and lost when you get to know the philosophical path that lead to the modern — or rather post-modern — mindset. This same path has affected Christianity, with the Gospel being suppressed in parts hoping to make itself more "likeable." Join Pastor Galen and Nathan Winters in learning more about the ideas that might help us un...

Guest speaker Cole Church's message is a difficult one. In the past few weeks, we've spoken of a clear and undeniable Truth, an absolute Truth that mankind cannot alter. But now the hard part: we are called to tell others the Truth, but if we understand the Truth, then we know we have to share that Truth with love, out of love, because of love. If someone who needs the Truth only senses condemnati...

One of the most important pieces of armor for soldiers of both antiquities and modern times is one most don't think about. The shoes! Without something protecting our feet from rocks, thorns (or cacti) it would be difficult to focus on the battle at hand. James and April Damey walk us -- well shod -- through this final piece of defensive armor in the Armor of God series, based on Paul's call to ar...

On May 14, 2022, our podcast guest Nathan Winters gave a speech to the Men's Breakfast at Cheyenne Hills Church. We were so struck by his presentation, we asked him permission to share it with our podcast audience. We hope you find it as enlightening and inspirational as we did.

The question facing our culture today is a simple question of which reality: Is God god? Or is Mankind god? Because if God is the Great "I Am," creator and king of the universe, then His Truth is the Absolute Truth. Even if it's inconvenient. And for those of use who know this Truth, how do we carry it? How do we face those who insist they are their own gods, and so truth is their own as well? Joi...

Righteousness is an odd word with a lot of baggage, but what does it mean in context of the armor of God? And what exactly is a breastplate? When walking through his description of the whole armor of God in the final chapter of Paul's letter to the Ephesians, who better to talk about the second of these pieces than two of our resident history nerds? Join our Youth Pastor Austin Miesner and media p...

Science is the study of the way the natural world works, and Paul tell us God reveals himself through the world He created. So why do so many people think true science is at odds with Faith? When did the Truth both seek become different? It may have something to do with a culture that tells us we all have our own truth. Pastor Galen and Nathan Winters discuss the pursuit of the Truth, and how we a...

In America, if someone asks us if we believe in Jesus Christ, we can answer honestly without a second thought. But in other parts of the world, this question is being asked after you've been kidnapped and held captive. Executive Minister René Minder gives the message this Mother's Day about a mother who was faced with those conditions, and still refused to deny our Lord. When telling the truth has...

When a Christian walks out their door, they cross into a spiritual battlefield of the fallen world. We are vulnerable targets for the enemy, but there's good news. We come fully equipped with protection and weaponry Paul called the Armor of God. In Eph. 6:10, Paul tells us to put on the whole thing. This series sets out to explore each of these pieces of holy armor, what they mean and how we can a...

Pilot, in his brief but powerful conversation with Jesus, asked him, "What is truth?" It's an ancient question. Maybe THE question. Join us as we kick off a 9-part series exploring the Truth, its origins, how we speak it, and how it shows up in our lives. This series' bumper was created by Hume Christian Camps.

We call Jesus Christ our King, but what exactly is His Kingdom? What does it look like, and where does it exist? Does it have borders? Pastor Gale, Ken Will and Kasey Orr venture into these questions on this episode of Cheyenne Hills' TGIF podcast.

Our podcast, in general, aims to look at current issues in our world through the Christian lens, and what is more common in our lives right now than conflict?

So how are Christians called to handle it? Galen and Nathan explore thi...

Join us on the last message from our sermon series Unprecedented, as we look at the giving of the Holy Spirit, and the unprecedented hope that gift brought with it.

When we come back to Jesus again and again with our pain, confusion and sin, it's hard to imagine what His reaction or response might be. In this episode we explore the response to questions like these found within Dave Ortlund's book Gentle and Lowly: The Heart of Christ for Sinners and Sufferers . We promise we won't have too many spoilers, but we unpack some of the concepts brought up by the bo...

Ecclesiastes tells us there is, indeed, "a time for war."(Ecc. 3:8) But what does that look like? When is war ethically or morally justified? Pastor Galen and Nathan Winters take on this challenging question facing Christians in the present world climate.

It's Palm Sunday, when Christ came riding triumphantly into Jerusalem on the back of a donkey. The Pharisees, who should have known the prophecy of Zachariah, refused to recognize the unprecedented deliverance offered by the long-awaited Messiah right in front of them. Pastor Galen looks at several moments in the Bible where the people of God were offered deliverance, and how each of them pointed...

There's no feeling quite the same as the moment you realize someone has betrayed your trust. We can only imagine how we'd feel if the person who betrayed us also betrayed the Messiah, someone we'd waited thousands of years for. How would you behave after something like that? René Minder, Ken Will and Kasey Orr walk through the arrest of Jesus in the garden of Gethsemane the night before his crucif...

It's a common cultural idea that we each have our own truth. Truth specific to us as individuals based on how we feel. Christians immediately spot the error here, but sometimes it takes the rest of the world longer to figure it out. Like when a biological male claiming to be a female — according to their personal truth — suddenly starts swallowing up all the trophies in women's swimming. Pastor Ga...
