The Shield of Faith: The Final Move – Who Do You Want to Be?

By Drake Hunter | Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice “Who do you want to be today… who do you want to be?” – Devo If you knew me back in the 80s, or if you’ve read my devotions or heard me preach, you know I wasn’t grooving to synth-pop or rocking parachute pants. I was a hard rocker through and through. Zeppelin, Dio, Ozzy… those were my peeps. My soul leaned into guitar solos, not synthesizers. But recently, I caught myself humming a Devo tune—yeah, that Devo—the 1984 track “Who Do You Want to Be Today?” And it struck me: that quirky little lyric actually echoes something Jesus asked long before the ‘80s ever got weird. Jesus said it better, and with eternal weight: “Follow Me.” Devo asked a fun question; however, Jesus asked a life-altering one. “Who do you want to be today?” ...

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: Belief plus action equals unshakable faith

By Drake Hunter | Commentary, Elevating Life Church Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. ~ Mark 11:24 (ESV) Let’s be honest, everyone believes in something. Even the person who proudly claims to “believe in nothing” is holding on to a belief about that nothing. (Which is something... Try not to get a headache.) I still remember the first time I was taught the Big Bang Theory at Valley Junior High in Carlsbad, California. The basic idea? “In the beginning, there was nothing... and then it exploded.” Wait, what? Nothing with a bang. It exploded?! What! I’m so confused.  I don’t mean to be sarcastic (well, maybe just a little), but are we really supposed to believe that nothing, such as no time, no s...

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...
