A Dram with Friends

Receive Gracefully

Richard shares some of the lessons he has learned along the way in the journey he and his companions have been on. He recognizes that he must be open to gracefully receive gifts of wisdom, faith, instruction, and even physical gifts given. He reminds us to always trust in the Lord. We must first recognize, and then be open to receive His graces and blessings.

No Vacation From God

Father Mariusz Sztuk, another of the original members of the Riders, shares his impressions about how, when on a vacation our faith can be manifest in ways that may be outside of our normal. The riders have always been grateful to have a priest with them on their trips to be able to offer the sacraments to them. While traveling, besides their daily Mass, the men try to demonstrate their faith in public to others around them to hopefully engage with them. Father talks about how even just making the sign of the cross and praying grace at meal times in restaurants can be a witness to faith and may open doors for others who are searching.

Activated Disciple

Dwight Whitach shares about his experience of riding with the Riders in the Storm, who is also a longtime member of the group. The original invitation to be part of the ride came from Jeff Cavins, who wrote the book and coined the phrase, “Activated Disciple”  Dwight talks about how this group of older men strive to invite younger men to be engaged in their faith life and community and how it has helped to form his image of being a true disciple of Christ.

In God’s Time

Troy Petersen, one of the experienced Riders in the Storm, shares his perspective on patience. We are inclined to want things to go as we have planned or expected, but God always knows what is best for us and has reasons for what we may perceive as inconveniences may be how He guides and protects us. #godsquad #cmla #riders

Eye of the Storm

Jake Khym, a past speaker for the annual God Squad Conference in 2020, was able to share a few days on the road with Sean Lynn, riding a motorcycle through BC and western Alberta. He reflects on being quiet amidst the noise and activity of life with all its distractions. Silence is a great teacher of understanding God’s majesty and the beauty of His creation. #godsquad #cmla #riders
