• Experience: If you have followed my writings closely, you will notice that a significant number of my books center around the concept of grace. This theme is deeply meaningful to me, as grace is a gift that is unearned, unmerited, and freely given to us. Throughout my writing journey of more than 20 books, I have had the unique experience of crafting many of my published pieces while on the open road. Specifically, I have written from the cab of my 18-wheeler, a setting that has been both my office and my sanctuary over the years. This writing process is intrinsically linked to my 43 years of experience in over-the-road (OTR) trucking. During this time, I spent 26 years as a trucker evangelist, dedicating my efforts to working in ministries primarily in urban areas. It consisted of befriending and reaching out to people experiencing homelessness, getting to know them, going under bridge overpasses where they have makeshift homes, sharing their food with raving rats, and many times having their clothing stolen while they slept. For seven long years, I endured a profound struggle with my mental health. This difficult journey compelled me to leave my home in search of a way to cope with my overwhelming feelings. To maintain my independence and avoid being committed to a mental health institution, I took up a job driving a truck. Driving an 18-wheeler allowed me to escape from my immediate surroundings, but it also meant spending long hours on the road, often alone. The endless stretches of highway, while offering a sense of freedom, frequently left me feeling isolated. As I navigated through miles of open road, I grappled with my emotions, which sometimes surged to an unbearable intensity. The solitude I once sought for peace often became a source of anxiety, amplifying my struggles and making each journey both a physical and emotional challenge. The pressure of my job, along with the solitude of the road, became a breeding ground for my inner turmoil. In my attempts to cope with these feelings, I found myself relying on substances, using them as a temporary escape from the pain and anxiety that consumed me. Three desperate attempts on my life marked this tumultuous journey, each one a heartbreaking reflection of the deep pain I was experiencing. These moments brought me to the edge, where hope felt utterly elusive, and despair reigned supreme. Amidst this darkness, I encountered a remarkable Heavenly Father who pursued me with unwavering love and grace. My goal in writing books and sermons is not for monetary gain, but to encourage and enrich lives. That is why my writings are designed to create an authentic, relatable narrative that showcases the incredible resilience of the human spirit and articulates how transformative God’s life-changing grace can be in overcoming adversity. Through my books and sermons, I hope to shine a light on the road from despair to renewal, illustrating that even in our most difficult moments, we can find the strength to persevere and the courage to heal with the realization that no one is beyond redemption. My books are written to introduce readers who want to hear about a grace that runs and jumps and falls and gets back up. The places grace goes, and the things grace does when no one is looking, reveal a loving Heavenly Father who is not looking for us to fail but one who planned our lives before the creation of the world.
• Comment to those looking at my sermons: I pray these sermon notes bless you as they have me. I never used sermon notes until I had to learn to preach in other countries and it was in these changing opportunities that I discovered that God will anoint my notes as much as he did my hard preaching in the USA for the word is anointed and God will confirm his word with signs following.
• Sermon or series that made a difference: THE GOSPEL IN MOTION Beloved, while ministering these many years throughout the USA, I did not believe in preaching behind a pulpit in front of others from a note pad before me and many services, I did not open my bible to take a text but when I was prompted by the Lord to preach abroad, everything changed especially in the Philippines where you had to preach slow and use an interpreter. In closing, while in the Philippines, I have been blessed to meet and preach for many pastors and the one thing that I discovered is that more and more ministers are visiting their local book stores asking if they have books with sermons in them which is why I have taken some of my old study notes and made some of my inspirational message’s public. You can find more on me from my YouTube channel “Jerry & TinTin Hulse” We have at present 63 sermons on sermoncentral.com. Be Blessed and Be A blessing & Remember: "Those that labor to bring sunshine into the lives of others, cannot keep it from themselves."

• One of my favorite illustrations: WHAT GOOD IS A WEDDING, WITHOUT THE WINE? The wine here in this setting would represent the Holy Spirit! and Preaching a message to Evangelists and Pastors from around the world using a pencil. We handed out 100 number two lead pencils then used the pencil to illustrate the Power of Evangelism. The graphite under extreme heat and pressure can turn into a real diamond. The graphite in a pencil also can be connected to both ends of jumper cables to produce enough heat to start a fire even in extreme wet conditions. With this knowledge, the little school pencil has value that can change a life and so does the gospel. When we learn the value of grace enough to present it with confidence, we can become a soul winner for the kingdom of God.
• What my parents think of my sermons: They never lived long enough to see me retire from trucking, but my mother loved my preaching and she loved the book I published in 2011 that had her and my father's photo on the front cover. The book was titled, "Disarming the Principalities/ Knowing Your Authority."
• What my spouse (really) thinks of my sermons: She loves my sermons and she resonates with some awesome wisdom that God gave her such as being in a dark cave or room and striking a match, she exclaimed that what little bit we do for the kingdom of God can be compared to the flicker and flame of that little match in a dark world!
• Best advice given to me about preaching: The day while driving my big truck and received a phone call from the famous Don Stewart, who informed me, "Jerry, the Lord showed me that your problem in ministry is, "you react to a situation instead of responding to it." Apostle Don went on to explain, "Jerry rush to make quick decisions such as filling vacant places in ministry, but give it some time, pray until you have God's peace in the situation, then respond firmly to your decision." Brother Don called me aside and said; "Jerry my boy, people do not care how much you know until they know how much you care."
• Books that have had an impact: The Dakes Bible and Bible History Perspectives-The World Christian Movement Haley's Bible Hand Book Biblical Archaeology All of A. W. Tozer Books Wilmington's Guide to the Bible Finney's Systematic Theology Matthew Henry's Commentary on the Whole Bible Church History by Bruce Shelly CLC Bible Companion First-Century Study Bible Johnathan Cahn The Spurgeon Study Bible The Care and Council Bible These Books are some that I recommend to anyone serious about constructive evangelism.
• Hobbies: From my youth, I have loved to plant gardens, I could plow all day long in the hot sun and never take a break because this was like ministry to me, and when I would plant my vegetables, I would often get down personal with them like God did Adam because all of my vegetables are personal to me and I would give them a name including a personality. I recently informed someone that when planting and working in my garden, I often think of the great intercessor saying "do not cut the tree down, give me three years to dig around it then if it does not bring forth, we will cut it down.
• If I could Preach one more time, I would say...: Preach the word for it is life and it will not only bring Lazarus out of his cave of forty years, but it will help get the bad habits and bad way of thinking that we call grave clothes off, and bring people out of their caves of depression and spiritual darkness into the light of god's glory.
• Something funny that happened while preaching: You are not going to believe this: I remember preaching an entire message in a crowded church and everybody in there saw that my fly was open but me. I thought by the hand gestures from some of my friends that my lapel mike was either too loud or not loud enough. Well, beloved, when God pointed it out to me that my fly was open, , I went behind the pulpit and fixed it then walked out and informed the congregation that they may as well laugh, that they all know they want too, and beloved, the entire church burst out in laughter and I did not give an altar call!
