Bible and a Bicycle

In this Post-Rant Aftershow, I step away from the script and share a deeply personal testimony about a season in my own life that I believe involved spiritual oppression, how grief opened a dark chapter in my life, and how I ultimately found peace and freedom through faith in Yeshua. Whether you're a believer, a skeptic, or simply someone searching for answers, I hope this conversation encourages you to think carefully, search the Scriptures, and above all, place your trust in the One who has already overcome the darkness. TONIGHT AT 9PM ON PATREON!

Bible and a Bicycle

Another walk to the dog park with Beans and Dee-O-Gee, and another trip down memory lane. As we make our way along the path, I find myself thinking about Fawn and Arlo, the years we spent together, and the memories we made on trails much like these.

It's funny how certain places can hold so many echoes of the past. But while I miss those old friends, I'm also grateful for the new memories being made every day with these two boys by my side.

Bible and a Bicycle

A quiet walk through a familiar wooded trail with Beans and Dee-O-Gee.

This footage was actually recorded about a year ago, and I came across it while going through old clips for the Beans and Dee-O-Gee channel. Finding it on the same day, I decided it felt fitting to share it now as a kind of Shabbat reflection—an old walk revisited on a present-day rest.

Bible and a Bicycle

Lately I've been thinking a lot about unanswered prayer.

Not because I've figured it out, but because of conversations I've had with people who are struggling.

A family member recently told me she feels like God isn't listening because the things she's been praying for haven't happened. Around the same time, a subscriber shared that she's been praying for years for her daughter and feels discouraged because she hasn't seen the breakthrough she's hoped for.

I suspect many believers have felt the same way at one point or another.

If we're honest, most of us have prayed for something deeply important and wondered why the answer didn't seem to come.

But one thing I've noticed while reading Scripture is that God's silence is not the same thing as God's absence.

David cried out, "How long, O Lord?" Job wrestled with suffering he couldn't understand. Paul repeatedly prayed for his thorn in the flesh to be removed. The Bible is filled with faithful people who waited, struggled, questioned, and sometimes endured hardships that were never fully explained.

That doesn't mean God wasn't listening.

Sometimes the answer is yes.

Sometimes it's no.

Sometimes it's wait.

And often, waiting is the hardest answer of all.

I don't claim to have solved the mystery of unanswered prayer. There are still things I don't understand. But I do know this: the God revealed in Scripture is not indifferent to our suffering. He hears every prayer, every fear, every tear, and every cry for help.

Faith isn't always about understanding what God is doing.

Sometimes it's about trusting Him when we don't.

I've written a longer reflection on this subject for those who would like to read more. Link below.

Shalom, and God bless. ✝️🚲✌🏻❤️🙏

Every time I head out for a walk or a bicycle ride with Beans and Dee-O-Gee, we end up finding something.

Not because we're looking for it, necessarily. We just happen across it.

A baseball sitting in the grass. A pocketknife lying beside the trail. A coin half-buried in the dirt. A fishing lure snagged on a branch. Sometimes it's something useful. Sometimes it's junk. Sometimes it's obvious that whatever it is once mattered to somebody and somehow got left behind.

Beans, in particular, has developed quite an eye for treasure. If there is an abandoned tennis ball, baseball, glove, or other forgotten artifact anywhere within a hundred yards, he seems determined to locate it. More than once, I've watched him emerge from the weeds looking as proud as a prospector striking gold.

The funny thing is that most of these treasures aren't really treasures at all.

That baseball in his mouth used to be brand new. Somebody bought it. Somebody threw it. Somebody probably spent good money on it. Yet there it was, discarded and forgotten beside a walking trail.

And that got me thinking about something Yeshua said nearly two thousand years ago.

"Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:

But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven..."

(Matthew 6:19-20)

Well folks, if you thought the main episode was strange, here's a little something extra for our Patreon community.

In this aftershow, we'll take a look at some actual archival footage of Jack Parsons himself, along with a fascinating interview featuring someone who reportedly lived at the infamous Parsonage during the days of Parsons and L. Ron Hubbard. We'll also trace what became of the Parsonage property after Parsons' untimely death and explore how this bizarre chapter of California history eventually came to an end.

Bible and a Bicycle

These days when somebody says the word "influencer," we immediately think of social media. We think of YouTube channels, TikTok stars, celebrities, podcasts, and people with millions of followers.

But the older I've gotten, the more I've realized something.

Every single one of us is an influencer.

Not because we have a platform.

Because we have a life.

I didn't always understand that.

Matter of fact, there was a time in my life when I was influencing people in exactly the wrong direction.

I want to talk about something that's been sitting with me for a while now. Pull up a chair. Pour yourself something warm.

We live in a world that has taken the word influencer and handed it over to people with ring lights and brand deals. And I get it — that's what the word means now, culturally speaking. Someone with a following. Someone with a platform. Someone whose opinion moves product and whose face fills a feed.

But I've been thinking about that word from a different angle. A much older angle.

And here's where I've landed: you are already an influencer. You have been your entire life. The question was never whether you influence people. The question is what kind of influence you're having.
