Bible and a Bicycle

Join me here at Bible and a Bicycle as I explore the why, what, and how of the Bible and bicycles.
I regularly share my favorite thrifty Bible finds with you. You'll also see my favorite bicycle hacks and lifestyle tips as well as fan-edits showcasing some of my favorite teachers, preachers, scholars and theologians that I throw together at least a few times a week in hopes of encouraging one another to open up and study the Bible for ourselves.

There was times when the only thing that I had in life was a Bible and a Bicycle.

Blessings and shalom! ✌️❤️🙏

Shabbat shalom! ✝️🚲✌🏻❤️🙏


Every few years the world finds itself another shiny apocalypse. Sometimes it’s nuclear war. Sometimes it’s artificial intelligence. Sometimes it’s blood moons, CERN portals, killer bees, or billionaires trying to upload their brains into machines. And now once again, here we are: UFOs. Or, excuse me, “UAPs,” because apparently changing the letters somehow makes the whole thing sound more official.

Lately the internet caught fire after Vice President J.D. Vance made comments suggesting that maybe these so-called alien phenomena are not extraterrestrials at all, but spiritual in nature. Angels. Demons. Interdimensional entities. Something connected to what Scripture calls the unseen realm. The second those comments started circulating online, the whole machine spun into motion. Every prophecy channel, conspiracy livestream, podcast theologian, blurry-documentary narrator, and social media preacher with a ring light suddenly started hollering about “the great deception” and government disclosure.

And honestly, I understand why people latch onto this stuff.

We are living through a very strange cultural moment. Governments openly discuss unidentified aerial phenomena. Military footage gets released and treated like sacred relics. Congressional hearings become viral content. Podcasters analyze blurry radar clips like they’re decoding hidden scripture. Meanwhile the rest of the world feels exhausted, anxious, and spiritually disconnected. Wars break out. Economies shake. Social trust collapses. Everybody doomscrolls themselves half to death while feeling deep down that something about the modern world is fundamentally broken.

So when mysterious lights appear in the headlines, people immediately start attaching spiritual meaning to them.

Been wrestling with some discouragement lately and figured instead of pretending otherwise, I’d just be honest about it.

Made a new behind-the-scenes video and wrote a companion article over on the Patreon talking about feeling insignificant, wondering whether the work we do actually matters, and how Scripture reminds us not to despise the “small things.”

Sometimes the little things are the things that carry us through:
dog walks,
good conversations,
encouraging neighbors,
opening the Bible quietly in the morning,
just continuing to plant seeds even when you can’t see the harvest yet.

This one’s available FREE for anybody who joins the Patreon as a free member. No paywall. Just come on over and read/watch.

And if you’d like to help support the ministry further, you can always become a full patron and help keep this rusty bicycle rolling through Babylon a little longer.

Well, most folks around here already know what the Little 500 is. It’s kind of hard to miss if you’re anywhere near Indiana University Bloomington this time of year. But for some of you reading this from outside Bloomington, it might still sound like some small-town bike race that got a fancy name. It’s not.

The Little 500 has been around since 1951, and it was actually inspired by the Indianapolis 500—same idea, just swap the engines for legs. It takes place over at Bill Armstrong Stadium, and it’s a team race, not just individuals. Four riders per team, constant rotation, and those wild running bike exchanges that look like they shouldn’t work—but somehow do when they’re done right.

And if you’ve ever seen it in person, you already know—it’s not casual. These riders train for months. The crowd gets loud. And for a couple of days, it kind of feels like the whole town is leaning in to watch what happens next.

This year’s races just wrapped up on April 24th and 25th, and they gave us a little bit of everything.

On the women’s side, Alpha Chi Omega pulled off something they’d never done before—they took first place for the first time in their history. And they didn’t get an easy, smooth race either. There was a rain delay—the first one since 2010—that stopped everything at lap 63. When they got going again, it basically turned into a 37-lap sprint to the finish. No easing back into it. Just straight intensity. They held their ground, though, and came out on top, with Teter in second and Kappa Alpha Theta in third.

The men’s race had its own kind of drama. The Black Key Bulls came in chasing a third straight win, and they got it—a three-peat, which is no small thing in a race like this. But the ending was rough. On lap 199—right at the edge of it all—there was a major crash that took out several of the leading teams. The race ended under a yellow flag, which is never how you want to see it finish, but that’s how it played out. When it was all said and done, Cinzano took second, and Bears Cycling came in third.

And that’s kind of the Little 500. It’s fast, it’s messy, it’s unpredictable, and it means a lot more to the people involved than you might expect at first glance. Around here, it’s not just a race—it’s a tradition. And every year, it writes another story, whether it ends clean or not.

Did trump just unwittingly prophesy the downfall of the state of Israel?

Some stories don’t really disappear. They go quiet for a while, get pushed to the margins, and then resurface later—usually when something real forces people to look again.

That’s the space this story occupies.

At the center is Ben Swann, a journalist who built his reputation on asking questions that didn’t always fit neatly into the mainstream narrative. His “Reality Check” segments stood out because they didn’t just report—they pressed into topics that were often dismissed or left alone.

In 2017, that approach ran straight into controversy.

Swann aired a segment on what had become known online as “Pizzagate,” a theory that had spread widely during the 2016 election cycle. The claims themselves had already been investigated and rejected by law enforcement and journalists. But Swann’s segment didn’t simply dismiss the topic—it treated it as something worth examining.

That decision drew a sharp response.

Some saw it as a journalist doing his job—asking questions others wouldn’t. Others saw it as giving attention to claims that lacked credible evidence. The fallout came quickly, and not long after, Swann’s time at WGCL-TV came to an end.

From there, his path changed direction.

He moved into independent media, building platforms where he could publish without the same editorial constraints. He reached audiences directly, continued producing investigative-style content, and for a time worked with RT America—an outlet often criticized in the United States for its alignment with Russian state messaging. That chapter only added to the ongoing debate around his work.

Still, he retained an audience that believed there was value in continuing to question powerful systems and institutions.

In recent years, those conversations have been reignited by renewed attention on the crimes of Jeffrey Epstein. Unlike many of the theories that circulate online, Epstein’s case is not speculative. It exposed a real trafficking operation with connections that raised serious and unresolved questions.

With the release of additional documents tied to that case, some have begun revisiting older claims and asking whether anything was dismissed too quickly. Swann has been part of that renewed discussion, suggesting that certain patterns may still deserve closer scrutiny.

At the same time, there is a real need for caution.

Not every theory turns out to be true. Not every connection holds up under examination. And when large amounts of information are released, it can become difficult to separate what is meaningful from what is simply noise.

That tension—between questioning and confirming—hasn’t gone away.

But Scripture offers a perspective that cuts through some of that uncertainty:

“For nothing is hidden that will not be made manifest, nor is anything secret that will not be known and come to light.” — Luke 8:17

If that’s true, then the goal isn’t to force conclusions before their time.

It’s to stay grounded, to keep watch, and to be careful about what we accept—and what we reject—along the way.

Because whether in journalism or in everyday life, the challenge is the same:

Not everything hidden is immediately revealed.
But nothing hidden stays that way forever.

Alright, let’s talk about the elephant in the sky for a second.

Most of you are already familiar with the whole “we never went to the Moon in 1969” argument. The idea is that the original Apollo 11 Moon Landing was staged—filmed on a set, pushed as propaganda, and accepted without question.

That conversation hasn’t gone away. If anything, it’s louder now than it’s been in years.

So naturally, with Artemis II launching today, people are asking:
“Here we go again?”

Now here’s what’s actually happening—no hype, no fluff:

This mission is NOT landing on the Moon.

There is no touchdown. No planting flags. No “one small step” moment.

This is a **crewed flyby mission**.
They go out, loop around the Moon, and come back. That’s it.

Think of it like a dress rehearsal. Testing systems. Testing humans. Testing the route.

The actual landing mission (if it happens) comes later.

So with that in mind, I’m curious where you land on this:

A) You believe this is legit. This is step one toward eventually putting people back on the Moon.

B) You believe this is just a modern version of the same old story—another staged event, and launching it on April 1st feels a little *too on the nose* to be coincidence.

No fighting. No name-calling. Just where you stand.

Let’s hear it.
