About ME!

The Man, The Mantle, The Ministry!

Kingdom Blessings and Greetings! This site was specifically designed with you in mind. Although you see my face plastered over the front page, it really was designed with you in mind. The marketing and website experts suggested that I go through a photo shoot and place a picture on the website so that you could put a face with a name. They said, “you have to expose yourself to the people” I literally “bucked” for some months. It only took them about a week to create this blog site, but it took me months to wrap my mind around the fact that my thoughts and revelations from prayer would be available for the world to see.

It’s quite simple. I am a man from a small town who was raised by a single mother who had a great father that had problems in his life as well. I overcame many sins to find my way to a place called potential and purpose only to find that you will always have to fight for your family and your future. I have not arrived but constantly seek to gain new levels of maturity and ministry. I love God, and people, especially those who walk in their purpose.

I barely graduated from high school, flew through college and graduate school, and tore down many barriers during my short career as an educator in public schools. All of my degrees are in education and leadership. I have been a teacher, preacher, principal, and friend to many. I have even made a couple of enemies over the years. (I am working on that one.) I serve as a pastor, prophet, and pusher of those who commit to walking out their purpose.

I am called to the nations and to build people who want to hope against hope and believe beyond boundaries. I see the best in people and believe that reconciliation is always rewarding. I am a king called to the pimps, punks, and prostitutes. I am called to those who the world has written off but have more potential than they have tapped into in their lives. I am called to the widows and the orphans, the single parents and the fatherless. I am called to educate the masses and coach the coolest.
I am called to those who have lost hope but will find it in the word of God. I am called to those who don’t mind studying and choose to not remain ignorant.

I have a wife, four children: Timothy, Zavan, Zacori, and Zachary. I have a host of spiritual children: Jason, James, and many others. Many of them know I am their daddy but they don’t want to admit it in public. How can your father be older than you?

We reside an a beautiful home that was dedicated to kingdom building and is being cleaned up for the kings and leaders who are on the way! Yes, we always have work to do with all of these kids writing on the walls and tearing things up!

On my wife, Stephanie, she is the greatest. She pulls me, loves me, laughs at and with me, encourages me, submits to me, questions me, and believes I am the greatest even when I don’t. She has walked with me through good times, tough times, rocky times, and even through deliverance. Isn’t she lovely? Not many women would walk with a man as he walks with God.

All of that to say, I have been exposed! Enjoy the site. Leave your comments! Ask your questions. Let’s just do life together. I don’t know everything, but I will pray without ceasing.

Your newest friend,

Antonio Hurt
