Special edition: The Iranian War — the fiery darts of war

By Drake Hunter | Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice "Take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the fiery darts of the evil one."~ Ephesians 6:16 ~ I understand war. Not just as a headline or political talking point, but as someone who spent over twenty years in active duty military service and now lives with a 70% service-connected disability as a vet. During those years, wars came and went — Desert Storm, Afghanistan, Iraq, and countless endless conflicts that most Americans eventually stopped paying attention to. But when you serve long enough, you realize something: war is never just about nations. It is about human hearts. Today, the world again witnesses rising tensions between Israel, Iran, and the United States. Missiles are flying. Alliances...

Weapons of War: Spirit Over Flesh

By Drake Hunter | Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice “Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” ~ Matthew 26:41 ~ Years ago, Sherrie and I ended up at one of those unforgettable Las Vegas timeshare presentations. You probably know the kind: a free stay, free breakfast, and free show tickets, all for just '90 minutes' of your time. Before we realized it, nearly three hours had gone by. The room was dim, beach scenes played on the screen, and soft music filled the air, almost like a Hallmark movie. The salesman encouraged us, saying, “Don’t overthink this. What does your gut tell you?” I noticed couples leaning in, whispering, nodding, and dreaming about more than just numbers. In that moment, it felt right. Bu...

The Sword of the Spirit: Scoring for the Right Team

By Drake Hunter | Commentary, Elevating Life Church “I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.”  ~ Philippians 3:14 (KJV) ~ Paul’s words sound a lot like the language of a good coach: press toward the mark. Don’t run aimlessly. Don’t score for the wrong side. Keep your eyes on the goal line and move the ball forward for God’s Goodness and Kingdom. When my boys were young, they loved playing sports like baseball and football. I remember one game—I'm not exactly sure if it was Joshua’s or Jeremiah’s—the coach finally allowed a player, who had been waiting all season, to join in. You could tell how happy he was. Then, the big moment arrived: the quarterback threw him the ball, he caught it, and took off like a gazelle—so fast, so determined,...

Devotional: The breastplate of righteousness isn’t a costume—it’s combat gear

By Pastor Drake Hunter | Commentary, Elevating Life Church Reflecting on the lives of remarkable figures—Abraham Lincoln, Nelson Mandela, Mother Teresa, Billy Graham, etc.—we discover a golden thread that weaves through each of their stories: character. If asked how to live a good, just, and meaningful life, each would likely point not to power, fame, wealth, or status but to the inner life—the heart. Real character, a character that can meet the demands of a harsh reality, they’d say, isn’t a PR stunt; it’s forged in private, rooted in virtue, and revealed in action. It’s one thing to know what’s right…it’s another to live it. That’s the difference between fantasy and fact. In this mini-series, we’ve suited up with the Breastplate of Righteousness, anchoring ourselves not in...
