WELCOME TO OUR BLOG!
My name is Josh Hurley. My wife Jackie and I and our 3 girls live in Cascade, Idaho. We believe we were called to Cascade for one purpose: To help build the Body into the head who is Christ. Imagine what a great and incredible gift each of us have in working together to become ONE with God! His Spirit lives in us and actively guides our lives telling us whom to speak to, how to pray, when to move, and when to stay. Our job is to be obedient. If you are a believer in the Cascade area and want to know how you can contribute to the body that is being built here, please let us know!

Minneapolis: A Kangaroo Court
Apr 6, 2021, 10:23 AM
As the Derek Chauvin trial grinds on, it is becoming more and more apparent that the prosecution only cares about pleasing the mob and not about justice. We sit idly by because we aren't the ones on trial...yet. What will you do when the mob comes for you?
Masks are Communism
Mar 15, 2021, 11:53 AM
The longer this goes on, the more frustrating it is to watch Americans model for the next generation how to be good servants. Communists in America are intent on setting the foundation that the majority needs always trump the rights of the individual. And, who defines the majority needs? The government of course.
The Future Church

The American Church, as we know it, has been radically transformed. We haven't experienced the full weight of the transformation that has taken place yet. But, like one left unsheltered in the cold, as the numbness wears off, the pain will set in. One of my personal goals is to help gradually warm the church up to this new reality.
The Pledge of Allegiance
Feb 24, 2021, 9:18 AM
We start every day with the pledge of allegiance to the flag of the United States. In this pledge, there are several key indicators of what makes America great. In the world we live in today, is any of it true, or merely a ritual?

Most of us continue to place our hope in our system of government to keep from falling into the abyss of a dictatorship, corporatocracy or communist ruling class.

What used to be a deeply held belief by a majority of conservatives is now relegated to back room whispers. The 'insurrection' had a huge part in making this happen. Here's what they don't want you openly talking about.
