Don't Drop Your Bike
Lessons About Life, Faith, and Balance
There is a moment every father knows — running alongside a bicycle, one hand gripping the seat, the other letting go before the child realizes it. That single moment holds everything: trust, courage, the terrifying beauty of releasing what you love to something larger than yourself.
Don't Drop Your Bike began on a sidewalk in Clarksville with Juma's son Jacob. What started as a lesson in balance became a revelation in faith. Because the truth is, God runs alongside every one of us the same way — present, guiding, preparing to let go so we can discover we were never riding alone.
This 15-chapter faith-based fatherhood devotional is for every father who has felt the weight of raising a son or daughter in a world that teaches balance wrong. It's for every believer who has wobbled. Who has dropped the bike. Who has gotten back on. Each chapter draws a direct line from the driveway to the divine, grounding spiritual truth in the ordinary, irreplaceable moments of fatherhood.
"Jacob didn't know I had let go. He was still pedaling hard, leaning forward, eyes locked on the sidewalk ahead. And I was standing fifteen feet behind him, watching him ride — really ride — for the first time. I didn't call out. I didn't want to break the spell. Because what I was watching was not just a child learning to balance. It was faith, doing exactly what faith does when you stop telling it you're still holding on."
