The First....

Never thought I would be here, blogging, but here it goes.
Being led by the Spirit we are starting a little company called holyroller™ brand. Biking (and all things rolly) has been a passion of mine for a long time and I've always hoped that some day I could design for a company in the industry. I didn't expect this. I didn't expect that God would lead us to fill a niche that was lacking in the Christian marketplace. There's a great bunch of brothers and sisters designing fantastic casual clothing out there to further the gospel message, but there's hardly any performance-based apparel that can be worn at races or in the pits proudly proclaiming our love and devotion to our Maker. There are few, and we'll share those that we find, but we saw a need to create apparel that wicks and can take a beating. Sure, we'll have some casual stuff too, but our focus will be on creating an established brand with connections to the wheel and things that roll.
But trumping the retail is taking the opportunity to use this brand to share the gospel with anyone that will listen. We owe everything to Jesus for dying on the cross for us and we want to share that absolute joy and peace that we've found at the foot of the cross with anyone who will listen. That's where the verse comes in, "Just as He who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do," 1 Peter 1:15. And that's what we want to do- let the holiness that dwells inside us from the Spirit to come out in every aspect of this company.
So there you go- first update down, many to come.
