Cheyenne Hills Podcast

In this week’s Companion Podcast, Evan, Jon, and David unpack the opening message of our Christmas series, where Galen introduced the idea of “monster gratitude.” From childhood memories of vibrating football games and monster cookies to the spiritual discipline of praise, the team dives into why we open complaints more easily than we open gratitude — and why Scripture treats grumbling far more seriously than we often realize.

They explore Galen’s “gratitude recipe” and the ingredients that transform our inner life: appreciation, praise, thankfulness, contentment, and worship. Along the way, they discuss why praise disrupts negative spirals, why grumbling reveals our heart posture, and how gratitude helps us see the world the way God intends.

Whether you're heading into a busy, noisy Christmas season or just need a reset for your soul, this conversation invites you to unwrap a childlike wonder and discover a life shaped by monster gratitude.

In this Thanksgiving-week episode, the panel unpacks the final message of the Déjà Vu series — “Make a Difference.” The conversation explores why it’s so hard to believe that God actually delights in us, especially during seasons of pain. Looking at Zephaniah 3:17, the crew wrestles with the tension between cultural entitlement and the biblical reality that suffering forms us, shapes us, and ultimately reveals God’s glory in us.

Through stories from Galen’s sermon, Joseph’s journey, Paul’s imprisonment, and even the chaotic moments of parenting toddlers, the group digs into how endurance grows one “stitch” at a time. They discuss discovering your purpose through serving, stepping into uncomfortable callings, and learning what biblical contentment really means. If you’ve ever wondered how to trust God in hardship or why He calls you into things that feel bigger than you, this episode will speak right into that tension.

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.
