"What I didn't anticipate was the conversation behind it, the intent, the heart work — that's kind of what blew me out of the water."
LEADER STORY: LOLA
Lola Oshisanya, director of Purchased: Not For Sale, a lane at The Hub LV, knew the workshop involved cars and a racetrack. What she didn't expect was the first half.
The opening workshop asked a simple, not-so-simple question: who do you see yourself as? It went deeper than Lola anticipated — but Mina had built a space safe enough to make that okay. "It wasn't weird," she said. "It was very relaxed... it allowed you to be open and honest."
Then came the part everyone expected: the cars, the partnership, the track. For a group that's been carrying a lot, the combination of real talk and real play did something specific — it gave them room to laugh, move, and reconnect with a side of themselves they hadn't had much access to lately. Lola's read on it was simple: "If we could have a mini racetrack, I think we'd have racetrack breaks on a daily."
Her advice to anyone on the fence is just as plainspoken: "Don't. They make it really, really easy, really fun... you just have to try it. It's worth it."
LEADER STORY: K
K walked into the workshop without much of an idea what to expect. The waivers were signed, but she was still a little anxious — until the team lead, Mina, connected something she didn't expect to a race car.
The workshop started with identity — not as a lecture, but as a foundation. Then came the build: designing the "livery," the paint and graphics on a remote-control car, meant to be an outward expression of who you are. For K, that was the moment it clicked. "Taking something very spiritual and then turning it into a very tangible, tactile experience" — that was the phrase she reached for.
It didn't stay theoretical for long. Once the cars hit the track, the identity work from earlier in the day became something she actually had to live out — in real time, hitting real bumps, working with real frustration. She watched the same thing happen with the girls in her group: shy and reserved at first, then slowly stepping out, problem-solving together, checking in on each other.
By the end, the anxiety she'd walked in with was gone. In her words: "They know what they're doing. This is legit.

Real Impact for Teams, Families, and Communities
Vulnerability and Collaboration
~ PurchasedLV from The Hub LV
"We had a wonderful experience with Mina and Ryan! Their RC (remote control) workshop beautifully balanced the facilitation of creativity, biblical conversations, and an exciting tangible experience!
This allowed for moments of vulnerability, reflection, joy, and collaboration between all our participants. We were so blessed to have had the opportunity to share space with them today. We would love to do another workshop soon! :)"
Life Giving Biblical Principles
~ Mark
"Great program! Very encouraging and life-giving biblical principles shared with hands on exercises that are used to discuss real life issues. Mina and Ryan are a great team!"
Safe and Insightful
~ Luz
"Our family has had the pleasure of attending several Good Deeds & High Speeds events, and each one left us with more than just a good time. We walked away learning something new about ourselves in the process.
What sets GDHS apart is how thoughtfully they bring community together. Their events aren't just fun, they're meaningful. From the excitement of car racing to the creativity of arts & crafts, there's something for everyone.
The reflection questions woven throughout are genuinely insightful and spark real conversation.
If you're looking for an experience that's equal parts entertaining and enriching for the whole family, I can't recommend GDHS enough!"
Not Supposed to Do Life Alone
~ Heather
"The big idea is that we're not supposed to do life alone. There's a beauty to sharing and community and learning from those around us. It is also an opportunity to point others to Jesus and to learn from his modeling in the area of community."
"It allows a space to be crowded to encourage others to step outside themselves who may not naturally do so."
Better Together Than Alone
~ James
"Better together than alone."
"A faith-based community focused team that strives to bring the word of God to neighbors through engaging activities. Thought provoking experiences and candid discussions."
Met Some Great People
~ Enrico
"Really enjoyed the experience. Met some great people and walked away having learned something new."
Every person knows their identity, understands their purpose, and has access to a supportive community.
That's the vision behind every workshop — and everything above is what it looks like in practice.
