8 Ways to Breathe Life into your Springtime
Whether you enjoy spring despite seasonal allergies or would rather go back to the cozy sweaters and football-laden weekends of the Fall, there’s multiple ways to integrate this idea of “new life” into your everyday walk through the metaphorical (or literal) daisies. Remember, B4B is all about living life to the fullest, and living each day as the gift it is. Whole life, pro-life!
Hill Climbing 101
Learning to climb hills is important training for any biker. But how can you handle the peaks and valleys in your life? We need to learn how to handle each situation in our life no matter where we are at.
Putting Down Your Stone
Christ died for us and for our sins, and Lent provides an essential reminder of how much we need Him. But how many of us cast the first stone, automatically, and judge another for the way they look or live? We are the body of Christ, and the more we set aside judgement and actively search for ways to empower others, the healthier the body will be.
Angel in the Garden
The most important thing our support crew members do is they are present. When our riders are suffering, they are right there physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Being a support crew member is exhausting on so many levels because they take on the suffering of our riders without being able to take their suffering away. That is their mission, to be present and to cultivate communion on the ride. Tell me a more dire mission than that right now in the pro-life movement. Imagine a world where during every hardship a woman ever had to go through, they had their own “angel” to cry with.
On Training: A Letter To Our Riders
Ever wonder if you’re fit enough to do our National Ride? Or maybe you’re looking for a new training program heading into the summer. Here we outline the most important parts of training our riders endure through. How do you measure up to our training standards?
God at the Wheel
“PRAY vigorously for our missionaries. They will be told countless lies in the months leading up to the ride and countless more during it. We are told, ‘For the Spirt God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love, and self-discipline.’ (2 Timothy 1:7) The storm is ahead my friends, but, with your help, our missionaries will meet it with joy. And they will not listen to the whispers of the wind. They know, fear, he is a liar.” Kevin Biese
Missionaries and Spiritual Warfare
It’s been said wherever there is the greatest opportunity to do Good in the name of Jesus Christ, there is where the Enemy focuses his greatest opposition.These missionaries are the world changers, the ones who will energize the pro-life spirit in the world. How do we prepare them to withstand the challenges and trials that they will inevitably encounter? How do prepare our team for the ups and downs of the battle for souls?
The Pain of Discipline versus the Pain of Regret
So, in my last blog post before our applications close, I want to ask you one last time: will you join us in 2019? Discipline of using our God-given talents and graces is required; it is how we show God we love him and follow his commandments (Matthew 16:24). If your life lacks discipline for the glory of his Kingdom, I may know a few people willing to help.
