Dan Hult
Engineer, Leader, Servant of Christ
I want a world filled with churches that are filled with families who love the Triune God and the Bible, obey them in every aspect of life, and proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ in everything they say and do. Through writing and conversations, I help people understand and apply the Bible and the doctrines it teaches. Through biblical counseling, I help people use the Bible to address any problem. Through leadership, I reflect Christ by serving and caring for those God has entrusted to me. Want to join me?
About Me
Professionally, I have experience in systems engineering, program management, and leadership in the context of aircraft maintenance and acquisition programs as a military officer. I have a bachelor’s degree in Aerospace Engineering and a Master’s degree in Engineering Management. I enjoy studying leadership, organizational culture, and process improvement. While this is part of who I am, the content of this site is personal and therefore may not reflect the official position of the military.
Personally, I am first and foremost a Christ-follower with an interest in Reformed theology and a love for the Church, both local and universal. I love to study the Scriptures and learn theology for my own knowledge but also primarily for the edification of the Church. I also enjoy writing, hiking, and road trips involving national parks and mountains. Many of the pictures on this page are from those road trips. I currently serve as a deacon at The Shepherd’s Church in Chelmsford, Massachusetts focusing on biblical counseling.
Leadership
Leadership is important topic for people in all walks of life. Here you will find my leadership philosophy, links to various resources to help in the study of leadership, and my paper on leadership from a biblical perspective.
Theology
Every Christian should be a theologian, which does not require a seminary degree or pastoral ordination, but only requires diligent study of Scripture and the doctrines of the Faith. Here you will find some of the basics that undergird my theology as well as links to useful resources for your own study of theology.
Biblical Counseling
Life is often difficult, and the Christian life is no exception. As a Christian, I believe the Bible contains everything we need for life and godliness, including all we need to face any problem we encounter. Biblical counseling is about applying Scripture to any situation and trusting the Holy Sprit to bring about lasting change through the means of grace. Informally, this happens all the time through discipleship, but some situations require formal biblical counseling.
The Staff and Hammer Blog
My blog about items of interest to me, mainly leadership (the staff) and theology to build up the Church (the hammer). My ultimate goal is to edify the church and equip the saints to live in obedience to God and for the advance of His Kingdom in all aspects of life.

Latest Posts from the Staff and Hammer Blog:
- What it Means to Be Reformed Part 1: The Solas of SalvationI occasionally refer to Reformed theology as foundational to what I write. This is the first in a series that will better define what that means. This post will cover the Five Solas of the Reformation. Future posts will discuss Calvinism, confessionalism, and covenant theology.
- Bringing Back Good Men: God’s Judgment and Leadership RevivalMale abdication has thrust upon women burdens they were not created to bear, including forcing some into leadership. This is actually part of God’s judgment, so we will examine who fills the void in the absence of good men and how one woman led a revival of male leadership.
- Adorning the Gospel Part 3: Submission to ParentsWe have been looking at biblical submission in the context of the church, workplace, community, and family. Last time, we discussed submission within marriage, so now we will look at submission in the relationship between parents and children, both when children are young and when they are adults.
