The Unfettered Bloke

Welcome to the Unfettered Bloke!

My name is Nathan Duvall - I'm a simple, honest, family man. There's no place else I'd rather be than at home with my beautiful wife and little boy. I'm an aspiring graphic/web designer, church communications director and lover of all gadgetry and technology, specifically for use in ministry. I love the church, but as a whole, I feel we've lost our ability to relate to the world around us. I'm part of a growing group of people who desire to see this change. [Read more]

Is God Bipolar? Part 1

Is God Bipolar? Part 1

Several years ago The Onion (known for their no holds barred satire) released a news statement entitled: “God Diagnosed With Bipolar Disorder”.

Leadership Lessons from Jethro

I was reading in Exodus 18 this morning and read something that I’ve always just skimmed over before, but it offers some powerful lessons, especially for those in leadership positions or in positions of authority over others–whether it be within the church, at work or simply as head of a home. Jethro was Moses’ father-in-law [...]

There’s No Such Thing As Insignificance

There’s No Such Thing As Insignificance

One of my goals for this year is to read the Bible through – it’s something I started back in October. The last few days I’ve been in Exodus and it’s been awesome reading about the lives of Abraham, Isaac & Jacob again. Their stories have been ingrained in my head since I was a [...]

Just Be Still.

Just Be Still.

There are few songs that penetrate my heart every time I hear them, like the words of Be Still and Know by Steven Curtis Chapman, based on Psalm 46:10. It’s such a simple song, with a simple message, yet it’s something I can’t ever seem to fully grasp. Some days I feel as though I’m [...]
