Austin W. Duncan

I'm Austin Duncan, Associate Pastor at @NewHopeCommunityChurchTN in Brentwood, TN, and my mission is to reach the lost, care for the reached, train others for ministry, and encourage believers to action. Through this channel, I hope to equip you to do the same.

Through deep dives into Scripture, theological discussions, and practical application of God's Word, you'll learn to:
- Think biblically about every aspect of life
- Defend your faith with confidence
- Navigate complex theological issues
- Effectively share the gospel with others
- Grow in your understanding and application of God's Word

My goal is to provide the kind of thorough, well-researched biblical content that I've always craved in my own walk with Christ. With a B.F.A., an M.A., and currently pursuing an M.Div., I bring a unique perspective to biblical teaching. My approach combines academic rigor with practical application, always aiming to make complex theological concepts accessible and relevant to everyday life.

When God said 'no other gods,' it was literally revolutionary.
Take a journey back to ancient Egypt, Canaan, and Mesopotamia. The historical context of the First Commandment will make you see it in a whole new light.
Time to discover why this was such a radical statement... ⚡

'We're all worshippers. The question isn't IF we worship, but WHAT we worship.'
Ever notice how subtle idolatry can be? From careers to relationships, anything can become an idol - even good things.

'Before My Face' - three words that change EVERYTHING about how we view the First Commandment.
Did you know the original Hebrew reveals something mind-blowing about living in God's presence? It's not just about prioritizing God - it's about recognizing He sees EVERY aspect of our lives.
This might just transform how you think about your relationship with God...

My wife and I have officially kicked off our journey to visit all the national parks in the U.S. (over the course of our lives), starting with the absolutely breathtaking landscapes of Acadia National Park in Maine. God’s handiwork is everywhere here—from the coastlines to the forests and stunning views of mountains and from the summit of Cadillac Mountain. I took some photos, and while I think they capture a glimpse of the beauty we encountered, they can’t fully convey the awe and gratitude we felt being surrounded by such creation.

Our visit to the park had Psalm 95:4-5 on my mind: “In his hand are the depths of the earth, and the mountain peaks belong to him. The sea is his, for he made it, and his hands formed the dry land.” Standing on the true summit of Cadillac Mountain and gazing over Bar Harbor and the Atlantic Ocean, it was humbling to think about how God crafted every detail.

One of the biggest things I’ve learned while preparing for the sermon tomorrow "From Anger to Calm" is that calm isn’t about avoiding conflict—it’s about how we handle it when it comes. Jesus brought calm into the storm, and that’s what I’ll be talking about in tomorrow’s message.
Join me as we dive into this together on October 27 at ‪@NewHopeCommunityChurchTN‬ @ 10:00 am (or at newhopechurchtn.org).
