Want To Go Fast? (Video)

Ever wonder what it would be like to scream down a Colorado canyon on your bike? Hop on Curtis Jensen’s handlebars as he descends from Peak-to-Peak Highway to Lyons…and plays high-speed tag with team members Mike Valdez, David Kreigshauser, and John Terpstra. Wondering how fast? Top speed = 54 mph. Hang on tight! Can’t see […]

Front Range Tour 2020 (Video)

FRONT RANGE TOUR 2020 was a blast. Here’s a chance to take a quick ride with the team through the beautiful foothills and along the wonderful trails in Northern Colorado. Enjoy! Can’t see the video? Click here.

Listening Is Hard.

A few weeks back, I made a commitment to listen. It was clear to me that there were voices and ideas I didn’t completely understand. I wanted to know, as much as it’s possible, what it’s like to see the world from a perspective different than my own. The only way to accomplish that is […]

Accurate. And Wrong

Tommie and Hank Aaron hold the MLB record for career home runs by two brothers. They averaged 384 career homers. That’s a lot. Hank Aaron was the greatest home run hitter in baseball history. His career total (755) set the major league record (*see note below). Tommie Aaron played for several years and hit 13 […]

What Will They Remember?

These words haunt me. None of us can know how we’ll be remembered. I pray for wisdom, because I do not want to be remembered as a silent friend. “Silence in the face of evil is itself evil: God will not hold us guiltless.Not to speak is to speak.Not to act is to act.” ― Dietrich […]

But Wait!

Don’t you love those ads? The guy yells at you, and just when you think he’s FINALLY done, he raises his voice a notch to announce the really-super-extra-special deal. This is sorta like that. When we act in the name of justice we believe God uses every mile, every drop of sweat, every act of […]

We Did It!

When we launched the HOPE & FREEDOM CHALLENGE, Becky said our goal should be 50,000 miles. I’m all for big dreams, but I didn’t think we’d accumulate more than three round trips to and from the HOME OF HOPE in south Asia. All summer we’ve watched the miles pile up. Folks ran through mid-western heat […]

Pollution (And S’mores)

Our friend Mary took a walk. Might not seem like a big deal, but Colorado is currently experiencing several nasty high-country wildfires. As smoke from those fires drifts onto the Front Range, it feels like we’re living 24/7 around a campfire – minus the s’mores. Local news now includes a “smoke forecast.” The usually stunning […]

“Our” Wine

Last time I talked about my vineyard. I traced a personal response to Jesus’ story about a vineyard owner. It’s the way Americans tend to view most lessons, because we’re an individual-oriented culture. As I learn more about Jesus, I’m not sure it’s the best perspective. He spoke frequently in the context of community. The […]

I’m Not Making Wine

But I’ve been thinking about my vineyard. No, I don’t have a plot of land with vines and grapes. I’m not planning my custom vintage. Jesus told a story about a vineyard owner who hired some day workers for a certain wage. Throughout the day – at 9 am, at noon, at 3 pm, and […]

Outside The Spotlight

Every production needs a spotlight. One or two big, flashy stories get center stage. But the production succeeds because lots of people work unselfishly, often unnoticed, outside the spotlight. A great production happens when all parts work together to create a story bigger than any of its pieces. HOPE AND FREEDOM CHALLENGE is at nearly […]
