CL S3E1 | Tribute: Bro. Nate Hurtt Jr.

Brother Nate Hurt Jr.: A Legacy That Still Sings! This tribute episode celebrates the life and musical legacy of the late Bro. Nathaniel Hurt Jr.—a gifted composer, dedicated chorister, and mentor whose music shaped singers and touched congregations across generations. Through heartfelt memories from his wife, children, family, and friends, meet the man behind the baton: a loving father and husband, a loyal friend, a jokester, and a passionate teacher. From his beginnings in Wilmington, Delaware, to leading choirs with precision and spirit, Brother Nate’s story is one of faith, discipline, creativity, and care for others. Hear how musical influences helped shape his distinctive style, why his demanding rehearsals built confident and independent singers, and how melodies came to him—even in the middle of the night. The episode also explores the stories behind beloved compositions, including “I Want to Live So God Can Use Me,” “God in the Midst of Us,” and “We’re On Our Way to Canaan Land.” More than a director and composer, Brother Nate nurtured people and helped create a musical legacy that continues to be sung and shared far beyond Wilmington.
