“Go tell it on the mountain,” as the spiritual goes. Don Wickstrum, a Monroe businessman and assistant pastor at Grace Church in New Glarus, has devoted his life to spreading his faith and telling his story of overcoming personal adversity.
Only when Wickstrum goes up the mountain to tell his story, he’s traveling at speeds of up to 140 miles per hour.
Wickstrum, 43, is also an auto racer (known as the “Fastest Pastor”) who for years has competed in the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, a twisting, 12-mile uphill race in Colorado Springs. A new 23-minute documentary about Wickstrum’s life, “Chasing Hope,” premiered Wednesday on a streaming site called I Am Second devoted to biographical short films about people and their faith.
