“THE RAD PAD”
A 6-Month Ride Nature Discipleship Residency.

The Rad Pad exists to cultivate young male leaders who live and lead like Jesus, rooted in relationship, active in mission, and committed to making disciples. It’s more than a place to stay; it’s a place to be shaped, challenged, and sent.

Overview

The Rad Pad is a 6-month residential discipleship program designed for young men between the ages of 18 and 26 who want to grow deeper in their faith, live intentionally in community, and be actively engaged in the mission of Ride Nature.

RAD stands for Relationally Active Discipleship. This is the heartbeat of this program and the framework for how residents live and grow together.

We believe discipleship happens best through relationship. Residents are expected to live as brothers in Christ, sharing life, praying for one another, and walking together through both struggles and victories.

A – Active
Faith isn’t passive. Each resident is expected to serve weekly in at least one local Ride Nature outreach, living out the Gospel in tangible, practical ways through action sports and community engagement.

D – Discipleship
This is a season to be discipled and to disciple others. Residents will pursue Jesus through daily spiritual disciplines, group study, and mentorship, learning what it means to follow Him wholeheartedly and help others do the same.
