Callsign Light: The Way of the Warrior

By Drake Hunter | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice Most people know I had a robust Air Force career, 21 years in all. In my early years, I found myself at Camp Bullis in Texas for Air Base Ground Defense training. It was demanding work—long days, heavy gear, minimal sleep. A major focus of that training was mastering map and compass skills. The Army Ranger instructors didn’t waste words—especially when speaking to those of us wearing Air Force uniforms. Out there, confusion wasn’t just inconvenient; it was dangerous. Much was happening. We practiced a lot, but one thing that stood out more than others was that we were trained to orient ourselves using the sun during the day and the moon at night.  Somewhere between sweat and calculation, a simple fact settle...

Secure the High Ground: Truth Is Your Terrain

By Drake Hunter | Commentary, Elevating Life Church “Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist.” ~ Ephesians 6:14 ~ Truth is not optional equipment. It’s foundational positioning. Before Scripture tells us what to do, it tells us where to stand. During the Gulf War, I was stationed at Büchel Air Base in Germany. We weren’t on the front lines—but we were deeply involved, flying missions into the combat zone, delivering critical loads, and returning home. What stayed with me then—and still does now—was the contrast in terrain. Germany was lush, stable, and predictable. You could see the horizon clearly. You knew where you were. Operations ran smoothly. The ground beneath you felt secure. The comb...

From Misunderstanding to Malice. Why Conservatives Finally Speak Plainly

By C. J. Garbo | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice For decades, many conservatives believed silence was a virtue. They assumed that if they spoke carefully, clearly, and charitably, they would be understood. When their views were mischaracterized as racist, cruel, or hateful, they often withdrew. Not because they agreed with the accusation, but because they did not want to be mistaken for something they were not. That assumption was wrong. The problem was never widespread misunderstanding by good people. The problem was intentional distortion by bad actors. Language was not being misheard. It was being weaponized. Moral accusations were not mistakes. They were tactics. Once you understand that distinction, everything changes. If your opponent is honestly...

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, ...

Good News or Fake News — Love: The News That Changes Everything

By Drake Hunter | Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice Hope taught us patience. Peace showed us strength. Joy revealed how to move forward. Now, as we conclude our Advent Series, we focus on its core: Love. Not the sentimental version. Not the weaponized form. Not the diluted kind sold by culture, commerce, or clicks. Instead, love with meaning. Love with purpose. Love with identity. And once again—because everything depends on this—we revisit the key question of this Advent series: “What is guiding who you are—the Good News or the fake news?” Ultimately, the source you trust will determine how you love. If most pause to consider reality, it ultimately boils down to one concept: LOVE. This is the fulfillment of the genuine story. Fake news diminishes love to mere ...

Devotional: The compass that always points to truth

By Pastor Drake Hunter | Commentary, Elevating Life Church I’ll never forget the sting of the Texas sun at Camp Bullis, just outside of San Antonio. It was the next phase of my training, following Basic Training and the Police Academy at Lackland Air Force Base. This training wasn’t just about learning the ins and outs of the M60 machine gun or polishing our field discipline—it was survival training in its rawest form. Out there in the wild terrain, you either adapted or you got lost. Literally. One of the most essential portions of our field training was compass navigation. Now, this wasn’t just about map-reading for the sake of passing a test. In real-world combat or security situations, knowing where you are—and where you’re headed—can be the difference between safety and disaster...
