I’m Steven Hunter (Oklatubbee). I preach at Glendale Road Church of Christ in Murray, KY. I’ve been in ministry for over 20 years and have been at Glendale since 2016. My wife, Stephanie, and I have three children: Bri, our middle child, was miscarried, and Cole. Just before I came to Glendale Road, I earned my Ph.D. from Faulkner University in 2016.
I love history, and while my wheelhouse is early Christianity, most of my peer-reviewed publications focus on antebellum American Christian history. I have a rather eclectic range of interests, which accounts for why I have so much useless information in my head. It does make me a decent conversationalist, though.
I’m Choctaw, from the Mississippi Band of Choctaw, and I’m also from Scottish stock; my ancestors hailed from Hunterston in Ayrshire, Scotland. They came to the New World in the early eighteenth century.
Much of my content is what I’m studying, preaching, and teaching at Glendale Road. Occasionally, I might add some early American history here or there as it relates to the day. Politically, I consider myself a classical liberal, or libertarian. To my conservative friends, I’m liberal. To my liberal friends, I’m conservative. However, I believe in civility and courtesy because I’m genuinely interested in learning and not just winning arguments. Grace & Peace!
