What's this faith thing all about?
For us faith is always about being out there on the edge with people who don’t know, don’t want to know and have questions about faith. Wipe from your mind any stereotypes you have about faith – Rezurgence is something completely different. This section will contain views from all, it's important to see all sides of the picture, those with faith and those without.

Baptists are promoting a day to pray - so people have a 'Day of Blessing': http://www.baptist.org.uk/resources-events/missionfiles/doc_download/1078-29-february-2012-a-day-of-blessing.html More »For me, mountain biking has always been a big distraction from God.

Riding is a huge buzz, my bikes are shiny and fun to tinker with, I can fall asleep dreaming of my next trick component or new frame, I can surf the net forums all day and have beers at night with fellow riders - there's no need for God!
But really, that's not true. Everyone's got a God shaped hole in them, and all these material distractions only superficially fill that spiritual hole. (Some people would say that biking is spiritual for them, but I'd say they're a little confused!) It seems the longer I ignore that spiritual flame, the harder my heart becomes.
I've become a walking, riding shell of a man that's been shaped by the world's ways and modern pop society. Are we all not just products of everything the world pumps into us? Well I know this isn't how it's meant to be.
So I continually fight my inner battles, trying to keep a balance between my all-consuming biker lifestyle and the last remaining Godliness in me. I've recently been riding with some younger guys from my town. We ride DH occasionally, and have been going to the MSS races. These young guys don't really have any positive influences in their life.
