Author Hugh Halter will contribute to SVA's Be the Change dialogue by expanding upon his recent book Flesh: Bringing the Incarnation Down to Earth.

Christ’s Body, Human Flesh

If we’re honest, no one really cares about theology unless it reveals a gut-level view of God’s presence. According to pastor and ministry leader Hugh Halter, only the incarnational power of Jesus satisfies what we truly crave, and once we taste it, we’re never the same. God understands how hard it is to be human, and the incarnation—God with us—enables us to be fully alive. With refreshing, raw candor, Fleshreveals the faith we all long to experience—one based on the power of Christ in the daily grind of work, home, school, and life. For anyone burned out, disenchanted, or seeking a fresh honest-to-God encounter, Flesh will invigorate your faith.

Hugh Halter lives in Denver with his wife Cheryl, a realtor, on a small ranch, with two horses, two chickens, two yellow labs, one cat, and one bunny. 

Hugh has three children, two daughters Alli and McKenna who both attend college in Iowa. After 25 years of living at home, their son Ryan who has struggled with epilepsy since birth, now lives in Beverly Farms, an assisted living center in Illinois for adults with disabilities. Ryan now enjoys making key chains, taking college courses, riding horses and according to Hugh, checking out the ladies.

Hugh is an author, the founder of Missio. He speaks extensively across the country encouraging and equipping pastors in incarnational ministry and missional leadership.
