Inspiring Others to Live at Full Throttle

Let Kathleen craft a message for your church today.

Kathleen’s faith-over-fear story is both compelling and inspiring because she is so relatable. A mother of three, cancer survivor, and high school math teacher who did not get her motorcycle endorsement until 2018 at age 52, she has since ridden her bike over 150,000 miles through four continents. A year after getting her endorsement, she was still afraid to ride her bike up her own steep driveway. But she faced her fears and conquered some of the most dangerous roads in the world, including a several hundred-mile stretch of dirt and gravel up through Alaska to the Arctic Ocean.

Kathleen shares candidly about the trials, tribulations, and triumphs she experienced during her journeys as God taught her to see herself more fully through his eyes. Her message poignantly conveys how knowing more about God’s grace and provision helped her to move forward in faith instead of getting stuck in her fear. Ride along with her on desolate mountain roads and through scorching African deserts as she vividly recounts learning to take small steps of faith, pivot when prudent, accept help from others, and re-frame difficulties in a more positive light.

Kathleen’s inspiring message can help all listeners learn to face their fears and live life more fully. She likes to call this “Living at Full Throttle.”
