I believe there is nothing more powerful than HOPE. It fuels us to achieve our dreams, it makes us jump out of bed and face the day. We work hard for our families, our nation and our faith. In a word, I would say that’s why I’m riding my bike about 3,000 miles from Huntington Beach, CA to Washington, D.C.: HOPE!
It is for three reasons that I believe I have been “quickened by God” that will challenge you, provoke you and inspire HOPE in you.
- To provoke you to go after and discover God’s will for your life and to pursue it.
- To recognize that only faith in God’s truth can break the power of drug addiction
- Getting your health right in order to fight for life, love and purpose!
Discovering God’s Will
Where are you? Why are you there? Where do you think you’re going? These are common questions for each of us and we ask them all the time in direct as well as subtle ways. During this 3000-mile bike journey, I’ll be asking people this question and listening with intent. I want as many people as I met to know that God has a purpose for them being alive, for being aware and for having a desire to live.
Drug Addiction
With the legalization of drugs, it will only compound the current drug crises in America. The only viable solution to the war on drug abuse is Hope. When people fall into despair, they turn to alternatives for meaning and this makes it easy for drugs to be seen as a way out and actually it is only a way in. Into a strong bondage to substance to continue to create a false reality. On God can give each soul, hope and my journey will make clear that when Christ is accepted in the heart, there will arise a hope that is stronger than dope and the addict will find a freedom that is authentic and a community of people who will love them to health. I'm proud to be teaming up with WE CAN Ministry who have 10 facilities in Conway, AR who are changing lives.
Shift to Health
Regardless of your financial status, your looks or what you do, if you are not taking care of your health, you will not be around to enjoy it, or you will be spending your time and money trying to get it back. During my Shift to Greatness bike tour, I’ll be sharing with people in my path information on how to get your health in place to fight for life, love and purpose.
If you believe purpose matters, people being free from drug addiction matters and being in good health to experience a fulfilling life, then support me.
The Route
I’m taking Route 66 clear across America and invite you to follow me, be a part of the vision, ride a mile or 100 miles with me. Attend of of the mini events that I’ll be having in various stops along the way. Tell me what God’s purpose is for your life and how you are fulfilling it. Share a story of how drugs has affected you, a family member or a friend. What are you doing about your health.
Take the journey with me.
Pray for me.
If you need to know more, ask me.
I thank you in advance for your support.

Perks
Astonished! Is about allowing God to “experience you” through your personal journey of faith. Whether through a bike trek across America, a devastating sickness, the building of a company, a suffering relationship with children, divorce, a prolonged spiritual wilderness, the bliss of a new marriage, or wherever you might be in your life, being Astonished! happens when we pull the veils of our hearts back and allow God in – more, and more, and more. My hope is that you would be inspired to embrace the idea of allowing God to experience you! That you would stop being down on you, and not ever allow anyone else to do so. I want to testify to you that God’s love for you is way more than you can imagine in one million lifetimes, and right this moment, He is standing at the door way of your heart wanting to experience you!
