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...

Growing Up in Prayer — Why It Matters for the Armor of God

By Pastor Drake Hunter | Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice Pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests   ~ Ephesians 6:18 ~ This week, our family celebrated a special milestone: my 9-month-old grandson, Thommy-boy, said his very first word—“Baby.” Moments like that remind us how wonderful life can be even during tough times. Later, I thought: What if, ten years from now, that was still the only word he could say? We’d all see that something was seriously wrong. Growth means expanding language, forming deeper connections, and improving our ability to communicate. Remember, prayer is the strength of a united relationship, whether it’s marriage, friendship, work, community, or even an Army—an Army of God ready to fight.  At this ...

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...

Devotional: The Shield of Faith—How to go on the offense with truth as your defense

By Drake Hunter | Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice Take a moment to realize just how much you trust without even realizing it. Right now, you're relying on the chair supporting you, your eyes to read these words, and your brain to understand them… talk about an unintentional faith in furniture and physics! You depend on your device to stay powered, your Wi-Fi to be good, and this moment with me to feel meaningful. But let’s dig deeper… like that stubborn onion layer you keep avoiding. What about the air you’re breathing? You didn’t check its quality; you simply took a deep breath, trusting that the invisible mayhem outside isn’t plotting against you—and it wasn't. You’ll do it again, many times, probably without even thinking.  Our lives are overflowing with trust: in gravity...

Devotional: The Belt of Truth–Holding it all together

By Drake Hunter | Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice “Biblical Christianity is Truth concerning total reality, not just about religious things.” ~ Francis Schaeffer As we wrap up this mini-series on The Belt of Truth, part of our year-long journey through The Armor of God, it’s time to buckle up to keep all of life together: heart, mind, and life (relationships). Christianity was never meant to be a divided experience; this is why God hates divorce. It’s not one thing on Sunday and another on Monday. It doesn't separate the spiritual from the factual, or belief from behavior. Christianity isn’t just true for you—it’s the Truth about everything, including who you are, what you do, and the bigger picture of life. Over the course of my life—first as a child with a parent struggling ...

Devotional: Why your heart needs the breastplate of righteousness

By Pastor Drake Hunter | Commentary, Elevating Life Church In a swirling sea of spiritual confusion—where feelings often masquerade as faith, manmade systems can overshadow true surrender, and emotional highs might be mistaken for holiness—it's no wonder that many sincere believers feel exposed, exhausted, and uncertain. The enemy is crafty, and his fiery darts aren't always the obvious attacks; frequently, they are subtle distortions aimed straight at our hearts. That’s why, as we see in Ephesians 6, Christians must don the full armor of God, and especially the centerpiece: the Breastplate of Righteousness. Imagine a Roman soldier’s armor or, in today’s terms, a military or SWAT team member’s flak vest. It’s all about protecting the vital organ: the heart. Without it, one we...
