A Pin That Preaches
The Gospel Pin
Congratulations on your new title. Every title is worth celebrating, from a dog's very first title to the sport's highest honors, and each one earns a gold-rimmed Gospel Pin you can wear wherever you run. Its colors carry the story of Jesus with you, test after test.
Read the Pin
Five colors. One gospel.
Like the Gospel Ribbon, every color on your pin carries a piece of the good news, from the darkness of our sin to the white of a heart washed clean. Read it from top to bottom.
Black · Our Sin
Black is the sin, darkness, and hopelessness we experience because of unbelief and disobedience. Sin began with Adam and was passed to us all, and it always leads to death and separation. Not only physical death, but spiritual death, an eternal separation from God.
“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.”Romans 3:23 · Romans 6:23
Gold · God’s Gift
Gold is what God did for us. In Scripture gold speaks of deity, the very nature of God, and God took on the form of a man to die on the cross and atone for your sin. The Word was made flesh and dwelt among us. You do not have to die, because of what Jesus did for you. Jesus made salvation possible.
“The wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”Romans 6:23 · John 1:14
Purple · His Suffering
Purple is the suffering and sacrifice Christ endured for you. It speaks of His passion and His love. The soldiers plaited a crown of thorns, put it on His head, and dressed Him in a purple robe, and the crowd cried, “Crucify him.”
“And the soldiers plaited a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and they put on him a purple robe.”John 19:2
Red · His Blood
Red is the blood of Jesus, shed on the cross. Through His blood we have redemption and the forgiveness of sins. Why would God offer His only begotten Son? Because of His great love for us.
“In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins.”Colossians 1:14
White · Made Clean
White is what God does in you through Jesus’ atoning death. When you repent of your sin, believe in His death on the cross, and ask Him to save you, you are forgiven. Instead of seeing your sin, God sees the righteousness of Jesus in you: grace, mercy, forgiveness, washing, cleansing, and purity.
“Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow.”Isaiah 1:18
Worn, Not Hung
A witness that travels with you.
A ribbon hangs on the wall at home. A pin rides on your hat, your vest, or your lanyard, out where the next conversation is waiting. Small enough to wear every weekend, bold enough to be asked about.
The Quote on the Pin
“For God so loved the world”
John 3:16
The words arched across your pin are there to remind you, and to challenge you, to think about what God did for you by coming and dying on the cross. Think about what you are living for, and the plans you have for your life.
The most important thing you will ever do with your life is repent of your sin, receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior, and live for Him.
Every Title Counts
First Title to Highest Honor
AKC · HRC
Junior, Senior, or Master. Started, Seasoned, Finished, or Grand. Whichever program you run and whatever level you just reached, every new title marks miles, mornings, and a dog that kept coming back to the line, and every one of them earns a Gospel Pin.

The Most Important Thing
Don’t wait.
The greatest reward you will ever receive is not a pin or a title. It is found in repenting of your sin and receiving Jesus as your Lord and Savior. If you have not already done so, I encourage you to do it now. Do not wait.
