A Shepherd Who Led The Flock

Glenn Beck tearfully reports Ken Hutcherson, who has stage four cancer, is in the last days of losing his fight to this insidious disease.  We are all losing, as Sean Hannity puts it; A Great American.

 

Pastor Ken Hutcherson

Although I never had the pleasure to meet Hutch, it seems many of us have known him for years.  Hutch, who emerged from a troubled childhood to play NFL football for the Dallas Cowboys, often joined Rush Limbaugh on his number one rated nationally syndicated radio show to discuss the NFL Playoffs.  It was always a hoot.

In this past year, meeting through David Barton, Pastor Hutcherson and Glenn Beck have become great friends; their friendship no doubt cemented on faith and their rising fears regarding the declineof our great nation.

During this time, through appearance on Beck's nationally syndicated radio show and The Blaze, we all learned a lot from Hutch.  Beck recognized Hutch spoke truths that needed to be heard, an so began a four part series on The Blaze, Beck's emerging television network. An episode on fatherhood was particularly insightful; a most significant message Hutch wanted to aim at young inner city youth.



Though few of us actually knew Hutch, through his relationships with Rush, and particularly Glenn Beck, many of us have had the honor to get to know Hutch, hear his message, and learn to become better servants of God in the process.

Beck fought back tears this past Tuesday in discussing Hutch with his staff.  Please take a listen:



Hutch will be dearly missed by all of those he touched.  God Speed Hutch!
