Quotes on my Desk
December 30 2011, 12:00 pm | Blake Hudspeth
Whenever I come across a quote, idea or verse that captures my attention and impacts my way of thinking, it makes its way to my desk. Like most people, wisdom tends to leak out of my brain unless there’s a reminder right in front of me; so I put it on display in my office. Because these sayings have deeply affected my leadership and personal walk, I’ve decided to post a few over the coming weeks. Perhaps they’ll have the same impact on you. 5 Commitments of Trust (This particular idea of...
seXXX & the church
October 17 2011, 9:47 pm | Blake Hudspeth
According to a net poll done by ChristiaNet in August of 2006, 50% of Christian men admitted to being addicted to porn…and 20% of women. Surprised? Probably not, it's affecting everyone. It doesn't surprise me because, in August of 2006, I was one of those statistics…and I’d be willing to bet that those stats are higher in 2011. Porn. Masturbation. Sex. Even reading those words are uncomfortable for most people (especially the middle one). They are graphic words. Delicate words. Weighty words. Awkward words. Words we, as parents, need to talk about often...
Thoughts on The Elephant Room

Due to Daniel Bollen's ridiculously awesome Uncle David (who paid for our entire trip!) Danny Jones, Kyle Uptergrove, Daniel Bollen, John Scott and I were able to fly to Chicago last week to attend the Elephant Room Conference.

About Blake Hudspeth
A groundhog on crack. That’s the best way to describe the way my mind works. I’m Blake Hudspeth: husband, father, student pastor, and (most importantly) beloved son of the living GOD.
These are my thoughts. I scurry under the ground, pop my head out, look around, then rush down another tunnel and come out again before you can say “razzle dazzle”. My hope is that it will become another way for me to glorify my Father (Philippians 1:20) and chunk stones into the face of giants (Manpurse Slingshot). So thanks for letting me share those thoughts with you…I applaud your astute, blog-supporting readertude.
