Brandon Heidemann - Fighting for a Bigger Purpose!

Brandon Heidemann / Fighting for a Bigger Purpose! Today I’m so excited to introduce you to my good friend Brandon, the Founder of ROYAL. He comes from a background of pro motocross racing but followed God’s invitation to dive into action sports ministry in 2002, and started ROYAL in 2005. God’s been writing a story through Brandon’s life, like he does for all of us, and one of the strongest themes and takeaways of today’s episode is all about discovering the story God is writing in our own lives, and how he longs to be a part of our journey too. Hear some of the wild “God stories” Brandon’s gotten to experience and also heart-wrenching tragedies of Brandon’s life but the redemption of them all as you get to know Brandon more! I hope you will walk away with a renewed sense of excitement for your OWN story and the story God is writing in your life today so grab a coffee OR a redbull and dive in with us to "The Places between".

If not, what is holding you back from fully trusting a loving God to take care of you? Imagine that God is all that you need.  How can you enjoy life to the full knowing He is the provider, the peacekeeper, the sovereign God who will take care of you? What dreams have you held onto for years? Are you holding onto them loosely enough that God can shape the outcome?  Or do you struggle with letting the results go? What does it look like to trust your dreams into God’s hands, knowing he is sovereign and has far more than you could ask or imagine planned for you? God does not cause the pain or the tragedies in our lives, but he does care about us in the middle of these moments!  This is an overriding theme of Brandon’s story.  How have you seen God comfort you in the midst of some of your hardest moments?  If you are in the middle of a place where you need to know God’s love, ask him for his comfort today. We hope you can encounter the love of the Father that we know and experience daily.
