John Hulett was inspired and guided by the Holy Spirit to write The Call to Discipleship and What it Means to Follow Jesus. His discipleship training comes from life experience, education, and most importantly from countless God encounters. Growing up poor in a large family of fourteen-with eleven brothers and sisters-helped build a strong foundation. He was tested under fire for twelve years in the desert with brokenness, sin, and rejection. He received the gifts of humility, poverty, faith, love, and gratitude as a child, accepting God’s invitations without hesitation or question in forty-six silent retreats over the past thirty years. Hulett received a Master of Arts degree in Theological Studies and Apologetics, a Master’s in Organizational Leadership, a Master of Business Administration in Leadership, and a Bachelor of Science in Business Management. He developed intellectual property skills over his business career acquiring three United States patents, twenty-three copyrights as well as numerous trade names, trademarks, and proprietary technologies. He continues to serve in the community advocating for safe and affordable housing, equitable jobs, and food distribution for the poor and the homeless.
