Friday 5 – Russ Hutto
The first time I ever met Russ Hutto was in a somewhat random hotel room in Austin, Texas. We had never intended to meet yet it was just one of those “things.”
I believe he and Fred McKinnon were attending a worship conference (I may have that totally wrong) and I had wanted to share with them a personal development project that I had launched (or was planning on launching).
That feels so long ago… Wow.
And ever since we’ve met he’s been growing his blogs and doing very cool stuff over at some of the online properties that he manages. I wanted to introduce him to the rest of the community so you can find another RSS Feed to subscribe to.

Our Creative Community (**http://ourcreativecommunity.wordpress.com) A community for creative types committed to increasing their creative output. From songwriting to health and fitness to books to blogging to photography we have a lot of folks represented at OurCC. It’s a place for sharing success, struggles, and failures in a community of like-minded individuals. (@ourcc at twitter)Personally, I’ve committed to writing a song per week and since we launched OurCC the accountability and friendship that I’ve developed along the way is phenomenal.
I’m also a pseudo free-lance graphic designer, so that keeps me fairly busy when I’m not coordinating Music and Media for House of Joy (http://www.houseofjoy.info) full-time.
How do you see Web Technology impacting The Kingdom?
For me personally, being a musician, I feel like forums (which aren’t necessarily the newest web tech), twitter, and blog networks are the most influential when it comes to making an impact for the Kingdom.
I love sharing music with the friends I’ve met from all over the world. Being a “worship leader” not only does it help me personally, but it is also a great way to serve the Body. Don’t get me wrong, I love the stuff coming out of Hillsong, Integrity, etc. but in this day and time the “little guys” (like me) can share music with congregations all over the world.
Buzz it!

Good to "meet" you Russ. You mentioned your desire to share music with congregations all over the world. If your ultimate dream was to be accomplished in that regard, what would it look like? What would you need to accomplish it?
