  • Parable Portraits: God's Grace in Unexpected Things - The Testimony of Hunter Witcraft
    Jun 23 2025

    Hunter sits down with... Hunter to hear the story of how God has worked in his life and bear witness to the testimony of Jesus Christ.
    --
    Hunter Witcraft is married to Willa; they have two boys: Graham and Benjamin. Hunter has a M.Div. from Corban University, a MA in Christian Ministry from GCU, and a Post-Graduate Certificate in Biblical Languages from GCU. The Bible is God’s Word to us, and for that reason, it is important for us to understand it (yes, we even have to work on the hard parts and the tricky parts). The Bible itself is a gift of grace from God to us – He was under no obligation to give it to us, and yet in it He has given us everything needed for life and godliness (2 Pet. 1:3). The Holy Spirit is active when we preach the Scripture and when we hear the Scripture, glorifying God and drawing us to Him; for that reason, I do what I can to accurately deliver the Word of God.
