Thought For The Week: Let It Ride…

Each year, Chick-fil-A partners with the WinShape Foundation to offer an amazing motorcycle adventure throughout the southeast – inspiring communities and celebrating strong marriages and families along the way.

This year, we will be traveling from Peachtree City, GA to Birmingham and Florence, Alabama; then to Chattanooga and Nashville, Tennessee; Rome, Georgia and Back to Chick-fil-A headquarters in Atlanta.

This is always a very special week for me – not only because I love motorcycles, but also because it gives me time to spend with my wife, Rhonda, my son, Ross, my brother, Bubba and his wife, Cindy, and so many other friends.

The purpose of the WinShape Ride for the Family is “to strengthen our own families while strengthening others,” but I would like to submit that you don’t have to be a part of a motorcycle convoy across the southeast to make that happen.You can strengthen your family and others this week, too. When it comes to loving your family well this week… Let it ride!

I hope you will join me in praying for all of the riders who are participating in the WinShape Ride this year, but also for the many individuals, families and communities that we’ll meet along the way.

It’s Almost Time To Ride!



It’s almost time to ride!



Hey, folks! The second annual WinShape Ride for Families is just a couple of weeks away, and if you know anything about me, you know I’m like a kid at Christmastime waiting for October 8! That’s when we’ll kick-off the Ride in Peachtree City, Georgia and then take riders on a 7-day motorcycle adventure through Georgia, Alabama, and Tennessee before ending back in Atlanta on October 14 at Chick-fil-A Headquarters!

Here are a few things riders can look forward to this year: 


Along the way, riders will not only experience the beauty of God’s great creation, we’ll also have lunch at a racetrack, enjoy some quality time, maybe take in a cooking class, attend the Great Date Night in Chattanooga, visit foster families at WinShape Homes, spend a night at WinShape Retreat, explore the Music City, the Magic City and even the Chattanooga Choo-Choo.

Not to mention all the barbecue, soul food (and Chick-fil-A) you can eat!

I hope you will join me in praying for all of the riders who are participating in the WinShape Ride this year, but also for the many individuals, families and communities that we’ll meet along the way.

And it’s not to late to join us! If you’d like to ride with us, click here for more information. But hurry! We’re rolling out soon!
