Of the 31,102 verses in the Bible, Mark Batterson wrote two books on one of them. A story of a man who chases a lion into a pit, then jumps into the pit to kill it. Talk about courage. Pastor Galen speaks of the same courage and faith exhibited by Abraham — and by Issaac — in Genesis 22 when God asks for an unimaginable sacrifice. A test of Abraham's faith, but also a glimpse at God's plans for th...

Jesus suffered temptation by facing down Satan himself. The three temptations of Christ in the wilderness show us an example of how to face our own temptations.

Two million Ukrainians have crossed over into Poland for refuge as Russia continues their attack. Meanwhile, some Christian pastors and priests stay behind to minister, and flight after flight of Ukrainian Jews flee to Israel.

He starts with the rhetorical question: Is anyone listening suffering from an overabundance of blessings? As in so many blessings raining down constantly you wish God would just stop. No? Us either, but a lot of our perception of the gifts and blessings God gives us may be partially because they don't happen when and how we'd like. Join us in the next installment of our Unprecedented series with g...

Do you know what a pocket veto is? That's how a bill to secure equality in Wyoming girl's high school sports was thwarted.

Welcome to our new series, "Unprecedented." We noticed some words with great big meanings get thrown around until they've lost their weight. This is one of those words that media and politics has almost completely worn out. But what does "unprecedented" really mean. It not only means something that has never happened before, but something so unheard of it's hard to describe it. We saw it as a word...

We're kicking off Season 3 of our podcasts with a new devotional series that will cover a variety of topics.

It's been nearly one year to the date we decided to work through the book of Genesis in our podcast. It became it's own animal. We've gone from creation, to the flood, through Abraham and line until Joseph. In chapter 50, Israel (Jacob) is dead, honored and buried, and when Joseph models forgiveness once again. The tribes of Israel are in Egypt, setting them up for Exodus, through which God become...

Jacob (Israel) continues to dole out inheritance to his sons, which are part last will, part prophesy. Just like the actual future of the Kingdom of Israel, it's not all sunshine and roses for his sons. Join Pastor Galen, Ken Will, Austin Miesner and producer Kasey Orr as they finish Genesis chapter 49. Only one more chapter before Genesis is finished.  Producers note: Hey everyone! We've lov...

Although chapter 48 described the death Israel (Jacob), Genesis 49 goes into detail of Israel giving his sons their inheritance and blessings. For the brothers, it's a mixture of praise, judgement and prophesy with implications reaching generations, if not millennia. Pastor Galen, Ken Will, Austin Miesner and producer Kasey Orr explore all of these in this episode.

In the conversation on transgender rights, arguments saying boys would enter girls' sports to gain an unfair advantage were seen as absurd, but now that this is actually happening, groups are speaking up on behalf of Title IX rights.

Do we sometimes expect blessings to come in the order or manner we ourselves desire, only to find out God had different plans? When Israel (Jacob) blesses the sons of Joseph, some seemingly crossed signals prove to be full of purpose. Join Pastor Galen, Ken Will, Austin Miesner and producer Kasey Orr as they unpack this scripture in Genesis.

President Dwight D. Eisenhower once spoke of the American Military-Industrial Complex, a force he he said pushed the policy and direction of government driven by financial motives.
