Devotional: Be a Twinkie in a Ding Dong world

By Pastor Drake Hunter | Commentary, Elevating Life Church Let me take you back to the year 1988—my early days as a Christian, stationed in Germany with the United States Air Force. I was a brand-new convert, ready to charge hell with a squirt gun. Freshly saved and fully fired up, I figured the best way to show my faith was with the biggest King James Bible I could find. In Germany. That was no easy task. But I found a Christian bookstore, marched in, and said something like, “Give me the real deal.” What they handed me was less a Bible and more a leather-bound briefcase of holy intimidation. It had gold letters on the front, multiple bookmarks, and enough weight to count as carry-on luggage. I was thrilled. I thought, The bigger the Bible, the greater the faith. Here I...

Devotional: In life’s fast lane, choosing the wrong road to a path of folly happens easily

By Pastor Drake Hunter | Commentary, Elevating Life Church We live in a world where countless roads claim to lead to success—express lanes to happiness, toll-free routes to purpose, and flashy detours promising fulfillment in the Eternal Now. And many folks, good-hearted and well-meaning, are sprinting full speed ahead. But here’s the kicker: what if the road you're on is the wrong one? The evidence is sobering. A growing number of Christians find themselves drained rather than fulfilled, weary instead of flourishing, spiritually stuck in a cycle that feels more like surviving than thriving. So, let’s ask the question straight up: If you’re on a path that doesn’t lead to life, what good is it—even if it’s dressed up in church clothes, labeled “faith”, with a dash of success? ...
