Just One

September 29, 2020 / Derrick Hurst / 0 Comments

Being a part of the church growing up was a great learning experience. I attended a Christian school and went to church nearly every Sunday. Growing up in the church we went through something called confirmation. This is when we learn the ins and outs of what we believe and actually claim it as our own. Up until this point, you’re learning but if I’m being honest it’s a lot of going through the motions. But in confirmation something clicks. we grow deeper and ask more questions and being to be able to apply what we know.

A Toddler’s Plate

September 25, 2020 / Derrick Hurst / 0 Comments

If you’re not a parent and never raised little children this image might not resonate with you. But I remember as a young new parent with twin children trying to teach my boys to eat. Like every child I’ve ever encountered they had a tendency to take their food and throw some of it on the floor. Then they’d cry because they were hungry and didn’t have enough to eat. When dealing with children, we kind of laugh it off as if it’s no big deal, but what if an older person were to do that? I can’t imagine what would happen if I would have done that at 13 at the supper table with my parents!

Trust Circles

September 23, 2020 / Derrick Hurst / 0 Comments

I heard recently on a podcast about this idea of trust circles, and I have to say I was beyond intrigued. In these weird days in which we’re living trust is a commodity in short supply. I’ve wondered why it seems good friends are acting like they’ve never met at best and like they’re enemies at worst. The speaker on this podcast suggests that our trust circles are shrinking at alarming rates. Let me explain.

A trust circle is simply the circle of people who are around you that you’re close enough to that you feel you can share key life moments or struggles or even disagreements with them. With that understanding think about your life and the people around you. Who is in your trust circle?

Relationship Before Rule

Growing up going to church taught me a lot. I went to Sunday worship and even bible class as a child. Then when I was old enough, I went through something called confirmation. This was when I learned the ins and outs of what the church I attended believed. We studied things like baptism and communion and prayer. But before all that we took time to study the famous 10 Commandments. In our most recent series in worship, we’ll be digging deeper into these very commandments to gain a better understanding. Let’s start here.

Influence Compounds

I really wish someone would have taught me about compounding interest when I was younger. If had really understood how it all worked, I think I would have approached my financial life a lot differently when I was 16 years old! But money isn’t the only thing that compounds. I’ve realized over the past few years that leadership and influence compound over time as well.

It’s All Good

September 15, 2020 / Derrick Hurst / 0 Comments

It’s a hard reality some days that bad things happen. Things don’t go the way we want them to go. People get sick. Jobs are lost. Finances crumble. Lives change and not always for the apparent better in the moment. When someone asks us how it’s going, we have a tendency to reply with a smile and It’s all good.

Whatever May Come

Unconditional is a pretty powerful concept. But is it a reality? I mean seriously, just about everything in our lives is conditioned on something or someone else. We let our peace be conditioned on our surroundings. Our success is conditioned upon how hard we apply ourselves. We even let conditions creep their way into our love for those around us.

This Is Why I Stand

On September 11, 2001, an enemy pushed us to the ground. Terrorists toppled the trade center. They used our own complacencies and comforts against us. While on the outside it looked like they won, there’s something they forgot. We are Americans. They killed the innocent. They crushed our heroes. They darkened our economy and halted our skies, but not once on this day did we kneel. For we are Americans.

Who Is The G.O.A.T?

The phrase greatest of all time is a pretty strong statement. We all strive to be the best. No one wants to be the least or the loser or the worst in a pack. No one wants to fail at something. We all like to have some form of success in our lives. But what does the greatest really look like?

Crisis Classroom

September 9, 2020 / Derrick Hurst / 0 Comments

What are you learning from the world crisis that’s happening around you? Are you regretting the situation that’s around you? What good can you see coming from the change to your daily routine? If we take time to reflect on where we’ve been and where we are, then we’ll be better positioned to determine where we’re headed.
