Cadence: Finding Your Rhythm with God

Cadence: Finding Your Rhythm with God is a devotional written for cyclists who want their miles to matter. Blending biblical reflection with cycling metaphors, Kevin W. Bounds explores how faith is shaped through discipline, perseverance, rest, and trust. Each devotion invites readers to connect the rhythms of riding with the rhythms of the spiritual life. Perfect for cyclists of all levels, Cadence offers encouragement for the road, the soul, and the journey of following Christ.

As You Go Cycling

As You Go Cycling is my gravel racing and mission endeavor. It’s a way to use the bike to reach people where they are, build community, and point hearts toward Jesus. From race start lines to back-road coffee shops, I want every mile to matter for the Kingdom.

Why “As You Go?”

In Scripture, we’re called to make disciples “as you go” (Matthew 28:19-20). For me, “going” often looks like long gravel roads, early-morning training rides, and race weekends in small towns.

As You Go Cycling exists to:

  • Carry Christlike presence into the cycling world
  • Build relationships with riders, families, and event communities
  • Encourage spiritual and physical resilience
  • Tell stories of hope, struggle, and grace from the saddle

This isn’t just about watts and finish times. It’s about who we meet and how we love them along the way.

Gravel Racing & Events

I train for and compete in gravel races and endurance events, using race weekends as opportunities to connect, listen, and serve. Every event becomes a mission field.

Community Rides

Local group rides, charity rides, and “slow roll” rides create space to build relationships, pray with people, and be a faithful presence in the local cycling community.

Discipleship & Storytelling

Through devotionals and online writing, I share spiritual reflections shaped by daily life. As a pastor, I speak on faith, endurance, calling, and how God forms us through challenge and growth—all to help others walk more faithfully with Christ.

Meet the Pedaling Preacher

Kevin W. Bounds is a husband, pastor, podcaster, and gravel cyclist based in South Georgia. He serves as the pastor of Morningside Baptist Church and as an adjunct professor of Christian Studies, and he is passionate about helping people see how the gospel speaks into every part of life—including what happens on a bike.

As You Go Cycling is his effort to bring those worlds together: the pastor, the rider, the storyteller, and the everyday missionary—all traveling the same road.
