I Will Fear No More

November 4, 2019 / Derrick Hurst / 0 Comments

Some days life is just flat hard. Things fill our minds that really have no place in us. We worry and grow anxious about some of the strangest things in life. We face health struggles, financial woes, relationship pains, and parenting trouble just to name a few. The more these things mount up in our lives, the less adequate we feel in life and the more we feel like failures. It’s far too easy to let the fear of these and many other things in life stop us from living the life we’ve been called to live. But we’ve been told to fear no more.

Developing Leaders For Life

November 1, 2019 / Derrick Hurst / 0 Comments

Leadership development has been a topic of conversation in just about every area of life for some time. According to Merriam-Webster online dictionary, leadership is defined as the office or position of a leader, capacity to lead and the act or instance of leading. Unfortunately none of these definitions really give us a clear picture of what a good leader looks like or how they live or what they do. Our goal in this post is to dive into what a leader looks like and how we as leaders can develop more leaders who can make a greater impact on the world around us.

If you’re in the church world at all then you know the word disciple is used all the time! It’s kind of a word that comes in and out of popularity within the church hierarchy from time to time. We throw it around because Jesus used it and told us to make disciples but so often we don’t have a clue what that means much less how to do it! This book is one that attempts to hone in on the idea of discipleship and a process or lifestyle approach that could be used to disciple someone.

Red Letter Reformation

October 29, 2019 / Derrick Hurst / 0 Comments

This week is a pretty special week for those of us who are in the Lutheran Church world. This week, if you’re following a church calendar of any kind, you’ll notice was the week of the reformation. Now this isn’t something we go around talking about everyday so perhaps a quick history lesson is in order.

Impossible

October 28, 2019 / Derrick Hurst / 0 Comments

We all have limitations. There are things in this world that I would love to be able to do but honestly never will be able to do. I’d love to benchpress 500 pounds but dislocating my shoulder while achieving 350 lbs tells me that’s just not going to happen. There are simply things we’ll just never be able to do. And that’s ok! There’s nothing wrong with having limits. But we also have to understand that just because we can’t do them, it doesn’t mean they can’t be done. Nothing is truly impossible.

ReClaimed Church

I’ve been driving a lot more lately with the addition of a facilitator job to my weekly schedule, so I try to make the most of my life time. I used to use that time to make phone calls and often would make those calls to my wife, but she has enough on her plate to not have me yap in her ear for a few hours of my drive! So I decided to take on the task of reading, or in this case listening to books on audio. It’s been a pretty great experience. I dove into all sorts of books, but admittedly most of them are very churchy, go figure! Here’s a quick review of my latest read.

I am an Atheist…

October 23, 2019 / Derrick Hurst / 0 Comments

Now before anyone starts to wig out here, no I haven’t gone off the deep end! I still believe in Jesus! I am not an atheist, but that’s a quote a recently read on social media and it got me thinking. What causes someone who at one point believed in Jesus to up and turn away? What causes a Jesus follower to no longer follower but reject? So I read on in his post.

Red Letter GOING

We’re five weeks into his series now and things are really getting exciting with the Red Letter Challenge! Just a few short days left and a Sunday of celebration and the challenge is done. But I’d be remiss if we didn’t address what this whole thing has been about to begin with. I mean if I’m being honest it all comes down to this week in my mind. This is kind of the pinnacle of the entire series.

Smile

I’ve been told by people that I don’t smile enough. Maybe it’s because I’m too focused? Maybe because I have too much going on? Maybe because I don’t even think about it? But the long and short of it is people look for your smile. And there’s always a reason to smile!

But we’ve never done it that way before! This has to be one of my least favorite phrases of all time! Just because we did it once doesn’t mean we have to do it this way forever! Actually a great perspective gained from this book as well as many others is that what we’ve done is perfectly designed for where we are not where we’re going!
