Weapons of War: Spirit Over Flesh

By Drake Hunter | Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice “Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” ~ Matthew 26:41 ~ Years ago, Sherrie and I ended up at one of those unforgettable Las Vegas timeshare presentations. You probably know the kind: a free stay, free breakfast, and free show tickets, all for just '90 minutes' of your time. Before we realized it, nearly three hours had gone by. The room was dim, beach scenes played on the screen, and soft music filled the air, almost like a Hallmark movie. The salesman encouraged us, saying, “Don’t overthink this. What does your gut tell you?” I noticed couples leaning in, whispering, nodding, and dreaming about more than just numbers. In that moment, it felt right. Bu...

Faith Over Feelings: The Rules of Engagement – Flight Line to Living Room

By Drake Hunter | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice If you love me, keep my commands. ~ John 14:15 ~ In the Air Force, Rules of Engagement were never suggestions. They weren’t emotional guidelines. They were commands—clearly defined before the pressure ever came. When executing missions on the flight line, especially in dangerous areas, you can't decide in the moment what feels right. You don’t rely on instinct alone. You don’t let adrenaline dictate your actions. You operate under authority—clear orders, strict boundaries, and a defined purpose. Never letting emotions alter the mission, because obedience is what ensures lives are protected—yours and others', no matter how you feel. In fact, I learned early on that the tougher the situation, the more im...

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...

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...
