No Man’s Land: Surrendering Self at the Cross

By Drake Hunter | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice If anyone would come after Me, let him deny himself, take up his cross daily, and follow Me. ~ Luke 9:23 ~ Jesus calls us not to discover ourselves but to deny ourselves. This moment places us in No Man’s Land—the space between our current identity and the person God is shaping us to be. No Man’s Land is never easy; it’s where our old self resists letting go and fully surrendering to God's will. It’s also a place where our desire to stay in control is challenged. But Jesus reminds us that this is the starting point of our journey. Few words of Jesus challenge us more than 'Deny Yourself!' Today, many popular sayings promote different ideas: “You do you” and “You are enough.” While these phrases can sound kind,...

Know Your Enemy: Lies That Look Like Truth

By Pastor Drake Hunter | Commentary, Elevating Life Church So that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine… rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up. ~ Ephesians 4:14 15 ~ A vivid memory from my time in the Air Force keeps coming back to me. We were practicing in low visibility in rural Germany (Büchel - 1989) at dusk, navigating unfamiliar terrain under mounting pressure. Everything seemed correct on paper—landmarks matched, instruments confirmed our location, and the plan felt solid. Yet, I had a strange feeling that something wasn't quite right. It wasn’t fear, but a sense of discernment. I paused and said, “Hold up. Something doesn’t match.” Some colleagues rolled their eyes, ...

Strategy First: Obey Before You Engage

By Pastor Drake Hunter | Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice “There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death.”  ~ Proverbs 16:25 (ESV) ~ Before acting, consider who is guiding you—God or man. The divine plan or human influence. Or, good versus bad influence. We live in a world that prizes action. People, society, and negative influences often push us with "make the move," urging us to take a shot, trust our instincts, and do what feels right. This advice is everywhere, and on the surface, it seems empowering—even virtuous. But trusting feelings over God’s guidance can lead to uncertainty. Remember Michel de Montaigne's words: “A lost soul without a well-established aim loses itself.” That’s chaos. In genuine conflict, no...

The War Within: Why 2026 Isn’t About Doing More—But Surrendering First

By Pastor Drake Hunter | Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice Though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. ~ 2 Corinthians 10:3–6 ~ New year. New theme. New direction… But before anyone rushes into new goals, habits, or spiritual disciplines, let’s slow down and be honest for a moment. Because if we’re not careful, we’ll treat Christianity like a software update—something that boosts performance without changing ownership. And that’s not the faith Jesus called us into. This year, our theme is The Art of War – Jesus Style. That phrase might sound intense—and it should. Not because we’re seeking a fight, but because we’ve finally acknowledged something most people already know deep down: Lif...

Devotional: From faking it to faithing it—walking by truth, not appearances

By Drake Hunter | Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice Be on guard. Stand firm in the faith. Be courageous. Be strong. ~ 1 Corinthians 16:13 (NLT) Let’s talk about protecting faith, not just your personal beliefs, but the kind of enduring, biblical faith that can resist evil and advance good in a world that often muddies the two. This kind of faith doesn’t hide. It stands. It doesn’t just defend; it moves forward in grace and truth. The kind of faith we’re called to protect is built on more than emotion or circumstance. It’s founded on the Divine Formula we discussed last time: Belief + Action = Faith (in the Lord). This formula isn’t abstract. It’s deeply and profoundly practical. You either believe God without doubt and act accordingly, or you don’t. And how we handle that equati...

DiGirolamo: The predator playbook every parent needs to know about

By John DiGirolamo | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice The Internet is a 24\7 how-to manual. Unfortunately, it’s also available for predators to gather advice to target and manipulate your child. All in a matter of seconds, simply by asking. Staca Shehan, Vice President at the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children recently said, “We're also seeing offenders enter questions asking for guides or tutorials on how to groom or recruit children and do it more efficiently.” The following summarizes the ways predators go after your kids: Predator Grooming Tactics: Victim Targeting: Constantly seek children and teens to interact with. It is quick and easy to find others online. Predators seek anyone who is vulnerable and willing to interact in a chat room, on social me...
