WHO WE ARE…

I am Caleb Hutton. I am the father of four children. Brooke, Brynne, Cara and Holden. I also have a baby already in Heaven.
I live in Missouri and I work full time. But I also believe as a Christian, I am in full-time ministry as it is my duty to serve Christ with my life.

WHY COUNTED FAITHFUL?

In 2007, I was going through a rough time in my life. I had only been out of high school for less than a year and I was trying to find my way in life. I knew I was supposed to serve God, but at the same time, I was trying to be my own man. One late spring evening, I drove up to a spot on our church property that overlooked the city and started reading my Bible. I liked reading I and II Timothy because it was written to a young preacher. Paul wrote these books to help encourage and give direction to a young preacher named Timothy. As I was reading I Timothy, I came across verse 12 in chapter 1, “And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry;” When I read that verse, I was encouraged. Paul, the chiefest of sinners, was enabled by Christ Jesus and given the opportunity to be in the ministry. Paul said that he was counted faithful. I realized then, that I had been enabled and given the tools to be in the ministry, I just needed to be counted faithful by Christ.

A few years ago, I started this site Counted Faithful and I posted a few things here and there but never got it going. March 2017, I had a friend who really pushed me into being more consistent in posting….and he still pushes me to this day. Counted Faithful was started to be an encouragement to others, to inspire people to be faithful. Counted Faithful was started to bring some good into everyone’s life that it could reach.

As I serve in my church ministries, I know that I can use this site as a tool to reach even more people and point them to Christ. I want to be “Counted Faithful” in everything I do, even in putting out content from this platform.

WHAT WE NEED…

Prayer. We all need someone praying for us. If you could, pray that God gives me wisdom and I would only write and publish what He would want. Pray that God would bless this endeavor as I inspire and encourage people and as I spread the Gospel.
