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 guest speaker Karsten Sween, Director of the Wyoming Fellowship of Christian athletes and former University of Wyoming quarterback. Today, Karsten talks about the unprecedented blessings bestowed on Abraham in his covenant and relationship with God, and how many of the blessings did not come in the time Abraham would have wanted, but all came according to God's will.

As we follow updates on bills moving through the Wyoming State Legislature that directly affect Christian life, we're reminded it's important to make changes in our own back yard, first. Many of us get up-in-arms in anger or dismay at the national news, while elections are held and laws are passed in our own state that directly affect the Christian lifestyle and the future of our families. Join us in todays episode as Pastor Galen and Nathan Winters walk through some of these important pieces of legislation and their fates.

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 meaning "something so new it changes the world." We knew of plenty of things like that, we realized, all throughout scripture. Especially the unprecedented nature of Christ coming to earth and acting as a sacrifice that changed our relationship with God forever! So we've made this our Easter series.

In the first sermon, we dive into the unprecedented nature of the grace God showed Adam and Eve in the aftermath of the first sin.

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!

This episode was recorded in the 16th of February with plans to have it air with the rest of Season 3 of Cheyenne Hills Podcasts. Pastor Galen and Nathan Winters picked up on the strong tensions in Eastern Europe, and before knowing about any coming conflict, spoke about the possible repercussions and Biblical implications of what is going on in the world. Next week, we'll look at their reactions to the events in Ukraine and Russia, as well as some information about the Wyoming Legislature.
