• Dane Hurst

  I owe the Father so much! We all do! He wakes me up each morning, faithfully provides for my family and me, has gifted me with the talent for music (singing in particular), and expects me to be responsible with it and use it to glorify Him and lead others. So this is where my story at Plantation comes in. I have been at Plantation since about 2005 and grown spiritually with God. While at Plantation, I have been at some low points in my life that I did not understand at the time were making me “perfect and complete, lacking in nothing” (see James 1:2-4). Now as I’ve grown more in the wisdom of God, I know my purpose as His instrument, made in His image and an extension of Him telling everyone else as much as I can that He has a meaning for our lives and faithful love for us all (see Jeremiah 29:11-13)!

He is a graduate of Southern Adventist University (Magna Cum Laude) with a Bachelor in Theology and a minor in Biblical Languages. He is an international preacher, Bible Teacher, professional songwriter, singer, actor, author, screenwriter, host, Choir Director, and motivational speaker.

He started singing at the age of 5, wrote his first song when he was 7, and he’s been writing and arranging since then.
  He is the author of “Why Are the Young People Leaving the Church?” a book published by Xlibris, that is well-received and changing lives right here in the community and around the world.

  He is happily married to the Ph.D candidate Kedare (Kay-Dahr) Joseph BKA “Cookie.” But his greatest accomplishment is being the Father of his two precious and beautiful babygirls Belle and Ruby Joseph.
  His goal is to please the One—Jesus Christ His Savior and Redeemer, and bring as many people as possible into the Kingdom of God. He preaches the Word because “TIME IS SHORT, and HELL IS HOT!” He strives relentlessly to be a clean vessel that can be used by God, to transform the lives of others unto salvation, by teaching God’s truth in love. He is a NOBODY, who is only SOMEBODY through the One who can save ANYBODY…Yeshua, Jesus the Christ.” TO GOD BE ALL THE GLORY!
