Justin D. Belt is a writer, minister, teacher, musician and photographer who delights in the act of creation. The author of Slaying the Lion: Hunt What is Hunting You (2020), Justin firmly believes in creating opportunities for others to have access to the arts to cultivate writing and musical talents. During his eight years as an educator, Justin has the privilege of coaching young creatives to embrace their literary talents while also pursuing his own writing projects. Justin writes about his life and experiences, yet uses personal stories as cautionary tales, or means to inspire and encourage others to be courageous and to believe that life holds good things. As a servant on several pastoral staffs, Justin seeks to lead others into a closer relationship with Christ through his words and songs. Justin’s calling is to be an encouragement to others while also and empowering them to do the work that God has placed them in this world to accomplish. Originally from Jackson, Mississippi, Justin is a proud alumnus of Jim Hill High School and Tougaloo College with a degree in Music. Justin also holds Masters Degrees in Business Administration (University of Phoenix) and Management and Educational Leadership and Administration (Park University). Drawing on the teachings of his parents who instilled in him the value of honor, respect, dignity and love, Justin’s love of God’s people, the arts and family keep him very busy in his role of husband and father of five amazing children as they explore life together in the Dallas-Fort Worth Area.
