Movements inspire. Organizations maintain. In this episode, we unpack the difference between a decentralized, Spirit-led movement and a structured, institutional organization and why Ride Nature leans toward the former.
Looking to the early church in Acts 2:42–47 and 1 Corinthians 12:12, we explore what it means to live as a unified yet diverse body, empowered by the Spirit rather than constrained by systems. From open-source leadership and grassroots agility to discipleship-driven growth, this episode calls us back to the organic, multiplying movement that Jesus began.
As Seth Godin said, “Movements begin when someone explains how a better world could look, and gives others a chance to join in.” Tune in and rediscover what happens when the church stops trying to control growth—and starts trusting the Spirit to lead it.

No one builds alone. In this episode, we unpack the biblical blueprint for building a team, rooted in Ephesians 4:11–13 and Exodus 18:21. From apostles to organizers, vision-casters to volunteers, every role matters in the work of ministry and mission.
We talk through the practical steps of team building: casting vision, sharing values, interviewing with purpose, onboarding with clarity, and launching with prayer. Because, as John Maxwell said, “Teamwork makes the dream work,” and in God’s kingdom, collaboration isn’t optional; it’s essential for the body of Christ to grow strong and move together.

Each of us has been uniquely gifted with passions and personalities designed for purpose. In this episode, we explore what it means to align those gifts with the needs around us, living out 1 Peter 4:10–11 and Romans 12:6 in tangible, practical ways.
From the skatepark to the lineup, we talk about how joy and calling intersect, where your deep gladness meets the world’s deep hunger. Like a tech demo that only lands when the environment matches the skill, discovering your place in God’s story means recognizing what’s already in your hands and using it to serve others.
Action sports aren’t just a lifestyle—they’re a global culture of over 400 million people. In this episode, we explore how the Gospel speaks uniquely into this world, offering purpose, belonging, and hope to those navigating identity struggles and high-risk paths.
From Ride Nature’s grassroots beginnings to a worldwide movement, we unpack how faith channels chaos into grace, using the terrain of skateparks, surf breaks, and backcountry runs as a metaphor for life’s spiritual journey. Tune in and discover how adventure and community intersect with the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19-20) to reach every corner of the action-sports world.
