We're kicking off Season 3 of our podcasts with a new devotional series that will cover a variety of topics. Jesus used the metaphor of a shepherd and his flock many times, so this week René Minder joins Julie Fogg and Ken Will in exploring the many ways we can find opportunities to follow Christ's example of being good shepherds. René shares points from her recent Leader's Edge seminar on the same topic. Cheyenne Hills will host another Leader's Edge session this fall, so keep an eye on our events page at CheyenneHills.org!
What does it really mean to "discover your purpose"? In this episode, we talk about the redemptive power of spiritual gifts, how your passions can point to your purpose, and why your past might hold the clues to your calling. You don’t need to be the next Billy Graham to live missionally—you just need to say yes to what God already wired into your story.We also dive into personal mission statements, why they matter, and how the church isn’t built on a few visible roles but on a whole body working together. From sin patterns that block us to the lie that “someone else will do it,” we unpack the most common reasons people stay stuck—and how to start living out your mission today.Join us as we talk identity, purpose, and how to live a life that makes an eternal difference.

Psalm 139 says we are fearfully and wonderfully made, but what exactly did God design when He knit us together in our mother’s womb? In this week’s podcast, we unpack the deeper truth behind our purpose and identity. We explore how spiritual gifts differ from personality, how sin distorts what God intended, and why justifying brokenness as “how I was made” misses the mark.We also dive into how addiction, hurt, bitterness, and even misuse of tools like Enneagram can subtly become excuses to stay stuck. But there’s hope. We can discover our purpose, not by looking inward, but by leaning into God's blueprint and stepping into community and accountability.Join us as we talk about God’s design, your calling, and what it means to become who you were truly made to be.

Not all healing is physical and not all suffering is visible. In this episode, we unpack James 5 and the kind of healing that happens when we bring our weakness into spiritually mature community. We also talk through toxic extremes in the Church, when empathy becomes enabling, and why confession, prayer, and truth-filled relationships still matter.

You’ve left Egypt… but why does life still feel like a battlefield?In this episode, we explore what it means to live in the tension between deliverance and discipleship. Salvation gets us out of bondage, but that’s only the beginning. We still have strongholds to break and wilderness seasons to endure.We’ll talk about the danger of getting stuck in the in-between—no longer slaves, but not yet free—and why community, vulnerability, and spiritual formation are essential for walking in the freedom Jesus offers. This is Part 1 of our "Find Freedom" series, and we’re not pulling any punches.
We often try to break God down into digestible percentages. Part love, part wrath, part justice, part mercy. But, truthfully, God isn’t divided at all. In this episode, we explore the danger of reducing God to a pie chart of attributes and instead look at how Scripture presents a God who is fully holy, fully loving, fully just—all at the same time.We’ll wrestle with common theological tensions, like how a good God can express anger or judgment, and why understanding His wholeness is essential for forming a resilient faith. This conversation takes us from Cain and Abel’s offerings to Eden’s exile, through Romans 1 and all the way to the cross—where God’s wrath and mercy met in perfect harmony.If you’ve ever struggled with the idea of “Old Testament God” vs. “New Testament Jesus,” or found yourself asking how love and justice can coexist, this one’s for you.Let me know if you want this adapted for Apple Podcasts or your website too!
This week, we wrap up Kingdom Builders by confronting the tension between self and surrender. We unpack what it means to give our firstfruits—not just financially, but through our time, talent, and trust. What does it really mean to put the Kingdom before ourselves? We revisit Cain and Abel, challenge cultural comfort, and wrestle with whether obedience without reward is still worth it. Spoiler: it is.

This week, we reflect on the ripple effects of Charlie Kirk’s martyrdom and the sense that something is shifting—both in our church and across the country. We’ve seen men step into spiritual authority, young people lean into truth, and a growing hunger for revival that doesn’t look like hype, but holiness.We talk about what revival really is—not just emotionally charged moments, but long obedience in the same direction. We wrestle with how forgiveness, stewardship, and sacrifice aren’t side topics—they’re Kingdom investments that echo into eternity.We also unpack the Kingdom Investment Calculator—a practical and theological lens for how we give our time, talent, and tithe, even when we don’t see immediate return.
