Hello, my name is Kevin. I’m an ordained minister, writer, and avid cyclist. I’m exploring what it means to follow Jesus authentically in everyday life. Whether I’m pedaling down a country road, working the land, crafting words, or walking alongside others in their faith journey.
I see myself as a domestique in both cycling and faith, the guy who carries the water bottles, sets the pace when needed, and celebrates when others cross the finish line. My job isn’t to win races or have all the answers, but to serve the community and help fellow travelers stay fueled for the journey ahead.
This isn’t a place for polished sermons or perfect answers. It’s where I’m working out my own faith, sharing the lessons I’m learning, and inviting you into the conversation. I believe God speaks through sweat, soil, struggle, and the simple rhythm of putting one foot in front of the other (or one pedal stroke after another).
If you’re a man seeking adventure while following Jesus, tired of faith that feels disconnected from real life, or simply looking for honest conversation about what it means to live with purpose, this is for you. Whether you ride bikes, work with your hands, or just want to live more intentionally, we’re probably asking similar questions.
You’ll find stories from the road and the field, reflections on Scripture and life, and thoughts on everything from gear to grace. Sometimes I’ll write about cycling, sometimes about farming, sometimes about the challenges of ministry. But always about following Jesus with abandonment (or on two wheels).
This is a conversation, not a lecture. I’d love to hear your story too.
Sincerely,
Kevin W. Bounds (a.k.a., “The Pedaling Preacher”)
About the Logo
What is the significance of “πορευθέντες” under the cyclist? It’s the Greek word poreuthentes from Matthew 28:19. Often translated simply as “Go,” the word can carry the deeper sense of “as you go.” I included the word in the design to reflect that truth: disciple-making shouldn’t be confined to church walls or formal settings; it’s a way of life. In short, “as you go cycling, make disciples.” The wheel, the road, the motion, remind me that following Jesus happens along a journey, on the ordinary paths we travel.
