Happy Monday! I don’t know about you, but I begin this new week in a very real battle with today’s word-of-the-week… TRUST Ever notice how much easier it is to talk about trust than it is to do it? I began thinking seriously about RICH’S RIDE in January. I thought about the logistical issues, the problems […]

I know—the title’s kind of brash. But I believe I may have stumbled upon an idea that will make me a rock star among Christian thinkers. I have discovered a formula for following Jesus. I know how improbable that sounds, but I’ve done it. Follow my three-step formula and you’ll be a guaranteed follower of […]

Do you think it matters “why” you do the right thing? Training for Rich’s Ride is teaching me a lot. If nothing else, riding mostly alone for 3-4 hours per day provides a lot of time to think. I thought I knew about getting in shape. There’s a process—you do certain things, follow the steps, […]

People are stepping into the circle from all directions, asking how they can help, and running with their ideas. I’ll do some short posts this week to offer some insight about […]
