Pastor. Realtor. Singer/Songwriter. Recording Artist.
Hello! My name is Byron Hatcher. I wear a lot of hats! I reside south of Nashville, Tennessee in a growing city called Columbia. I'm a Realtor with Benchmark Realty in their Franklin, TN office. I'm also licensed in Savannah, GA with Realty One Group Inclusion! My wife owns ContractCoordinator.com and I own Home Expert, LLC. I own and manage several websites, including MiddleTNHomeExpert.com, ByronHatcherRealtor.com, this website, and a few others.
I'm a head baseball coach for the varsity program at Zion Christian Academy in Columbia, TN. Shout out to my young men that won the TSIAA state championship in 2026! Hard work always pays off.
I am a Youth Pastor at Pleasant Heights Baptist Church. Shout out to the Heights! I love leading worship. I spent time in the music industry before, but am now a Singer/Songwriter focusing on worship. I'm a self-producing Recording Artist.
I perform the research, and produce The Buried Word podcast - a Biblical discovery podcast that expounds on archaeological discoveries, relating them to the Bible and Jesus.
I'm ultimately a follower of Christ, a loving husband to Chelsea, and proud father to Hazel Mae and Byron Hugh "Junior."
Most of what I do involves serving and blessing other people! Jesus says in Matthew 25:35-40 that "whatever we do for the least of these, you did for Me." I try to do that through bible lessons, music, real estate, personal testimony, and more.
I claim to be a tenacious reader, and a vivacious writer. Though I admit I'm not as talented as many others! I want to serve others in an interesting way, that actually makes a difference in someone's life. And I'm committed to showing people Jesus in a unique way, so that they can be as blessed and resilient as God has allowed me to be.
Learn more about me through podcasts and my blog! I appreciate your time and pray that you're happy, healthy, and blessed. Thank you for visiting this webpage!
UPDATES
NEWS FROM 2023:
I've been working on music that I've been writing for the last 5 years, trying to get that released. The album "Nashville Sessions" will be released as soon as it's ready! I'm excited for you to hear it.
In the meantime, GOD HAS CALLED ME BACK INTO MINISTRY AND WORSHIP MUSIC!
I've finished a few new Christian songs, and began working on a new Christian album again. I've been blessed to be affiliated with Highland Park Baptist Church in Columbia, Tennessee. Pastor Bobby McCord and our congregation has supported me big time. I'm working with the youth, helping teach them new instruments. Hoping to get a Youth Worship Band put together soon.
Highland Park Baptist Church has also opened its doors for me, to give me a creative space to write music and record this new Christian album! I have high expectations for it. I've been putting the guitars in alternate tunings lately, like Open G, Open C, and Open A Minor, searching for new inspiration. And I've revisited some of the old Christian songs that I wrote in Savannah, Georgia back in 2011.
Not all of these songs will be "worship" songs. Some will be personal to my life. Some will be stories. Either way, I hope it helps you find purpose and meaning, with relatable qualities when you tap the play button.
