Campus Pastor Chad Kettler preaches from Eacclesiastes 4:4-16.

Joshua 24:14-24 Life is full of moments where a single choice changes everything that follows. This message takes us into Joshua 24, where Israel stands at a crossroads that will define their entire future. The question isn't whether we will serve something, but what we will serve.

Joshua 14:1-15 This exploration of Caleb's life from Joshua 14 challenges us to examine the story we're writing with our own lives. At 85 years old, Caleb's defining characteristic wasn't his accomplishments or adventures, but rather his repeated declaration: “I wholly followed the Lord my God.”

While last week's rehearsal was our first time to play with the remarkable fiddler John Ace, that evening was likely the last time that Floodster Emeritus Dave “Bub” Ball will get to jam with his old friend.It was only at the end of the evening we learned that John — after two decades of snow-birding it from Virginia to Florida — is at a new crossroads in his life, set to move permanently to New Hampshire to be near his daughter.In fact, just hours after the last notes were played that night, Ball drove Ace to the depot so he could board a train for his Alexandria home. After that, Dave turned the car south for his long drive back to his home with his wife Yvonne in Jupiter, FL.“John and I will stay in touch,” Bub said in an email this week, “but with him in New Hampshire and me about 1500 miles away, the odds are we won't be able to get together again.”A train song seemed like the most appropriate choice for the last number of the night and we picked one of the best in our repertoire.Bub and John's JourneyAs reported here recently, in 2005 John Ace sold his house and car and moved to the sea, living full time on “Four Aces,” his 36-foot fiberglass Cabo Rico sailboat. From then on, he divided his time between summers in Virginia and winters in Florida … and/or the Bahamas, Jamaica, the Cayman Islands, Honduras, Guatemala, Belize, Mexico … wherever the winds carried him.Now, though, “at 76 traveling becomes a factor,” Bub said of his old friend.Bub met John about three years ago during one of those winter treks to warmer climes.“The band he was playing with at the time, Gypsy String Revival, needed a fill-in bassist and gave me a call,” Ball recalled. “He and I became friends and started playing jams together.”Later, when fiddler Paddy King, one of the original 3 String Circus members, couldn't make a renaissance fair gig, John filled in.“He spent Thanksgiving and Christmas with us here and we became close friends,” Bub recalled. “We played many Faire gigs together.”This summer The Flood got to meet John because Bub needed a fiddler to share the stage with him at the Lewisville, WV, renaissance fair. “John just happened to be in Alexandria, a five- or six-hour train ride to Alderson,” Ball said. “Soooooo, John filled in, and brilliantly I might add.”About the SongFeatured in this week's podcast, those last notes of our last evening with John and Bub are from “Yellow Dog Blues,” W.C. Handy's 1915 masterpiece that speaks so elegantly of the passages in life. As reported earlier, it is the song that brought a classic line to the blues world, talking about going to “where the Southern cross the Yellow Dog.”For more on the history of this grand old tune, see this earlier Flood Watch article. And for more of John Ace's fine fiddling with The Flood during his West Virginia trek, click here and here.Meanwhile, in Flood Movie News…Well, Georgia is on our mind these days. Randy Yohe's award-winning “These Boys” documentary about The Flood has been selected to participate in Augusta's 12th annual Black Cat Picture Show film festival.Black Cat is the Georgia city's only adjudicated international festival for independent films, hosted at Le Chat Noir theater, a 100-seat black box theater in downtown Augusta. This recognition now brings to a half dozen the number of honors the film has received this year. As reported earlier, the picture has been praised by two French festivals — ARFF Paris // International Film Festival and the Cine Paris Film Festival — as well as here in the States by The East Village New York Film Festival and Texas's Austin International Art Festival. Also the Appalachian Film Festival screened the documentary as the featured film on the opening night.Right now “These Boys” is working its way through film festivals like these, but we look forward to sharing the completed film with everyone later this year. We'll keep you posted.Click here to read more about the work on “These Boys.” This is a public episode.

Joshua 6:12-25 The story of Joshua and the Battle of Jericho confronts us with a challenging truth: obedience doesn't always come with complete understanding.

We took the mobile studio down to Lewisville, Texas, to sit down with local legends Carlos and Lisa Uranga at the brand-new Full Gas Cycling Fit Studio. Before we dive into the black magic of bike fitting, Brad and Kevin debrief the absolute mudfest at Unbound 2024. We break down Keegan Swenson's F1-style pit stops, the utter dominance of the Specialized Crux, and the momentum building behind Scott's winning 32-inch prototype in the XL field.Then, we get down to the nuts and bolts of how a proper bike fit can give you free watts, fix that nagging lower back pain, and keep you smiling on those ultra-endurance pushes. Carlos and Lisa break down why buying a bike before getting fit is a massive gamble—especially in the era of expensive, integrated cockpits. Whether you are building up a brand-new MOG, tweaking a trusty Fargo, or stubbornly mashing a single-speed, this episode is packed with fit philosophy that will change how you look at your rig.In this episode, we cover:The Unbound 2024 Fallout: Mud, marginal gains, and why a good team dynamic is just as important as tire clearance.The 32-Inch Wheel Revolution: Will it become the new standard for ultra-endurance and bikepacking?The Pre-Purchase Fit: Why you should get mapped on a fit bike before dropping $10k on a rig with an integrated cockpit.Short Crank Science: The mechanical advantage of dropping down to 160mm or 165mm cranks to open up your hip angle and improve aerodynamics.Solving the "Hot Foot": Why standard wide shoes (we're looking at you, Shimano) might be failing you, and how surface area, socks, and custom insoles make or break a 100-mile ride.Direct-to-Consumer Risks: The pros and cons of buying Chinese carbon frames like X-Lab or Quick Pro without a proper geometry consultation.Links & Resources:Full Gas Cycling Fit Studio: fullgasfitstudio.comFind Carlos & Lisa Urrenga's studio off 121 in Lewisville, TX for your next pre-purchase mapping or fit follow-up.0:00 New Location Intro00:22 Meet Full Gas Fit Studio01:31 Unbound Tech Talk 32s05:27 Fit Implications of 32s08:54 Unbound Weather Recap11:11 Wheel Swap Drama14:12 Crux Bike vs Talent16:14 Fit Basics Stack Reach21:57 Buy Fit Before Bike27:28 Integrated Cockpit Headaches34:18 Hot Feet Troubleshooting39:49 Fitting Riders on Flats40:58 Flats Versus Clips41:47 Leg Length Shims42:40 Short Crank Setup44:27 Q Factor Explained45:10 Pedal Options Today47:04 Fit Across Bike Types50:02 Goals Drive Fit51:35 Common Pain Triggers52:50 How Often Refit55:53 Injuries And Compensation57:41 Tools And Assessments59:47 Free Watts For All01:01:14 Modern MTB Geometry01:02:44 Droppers And Setback01:05:24 Hip Angle Blood Flow01:08:08 Watching Pros Critically01:09:52 Three Contact Points01:11:55 Ultra Endurance Fits01:14:16 Pre Fit Before Buying01:17:34 Partnering With Shops01:20:14 Fit Included On 10K Bikes01:20:38 Custom Spec Bikes01:21:05 Booking a Fit01:21:57 Four Hour Fit Day01:23:30 When MOG Won't Fit01:24:38 Testing Cockpits Fast01:26:00 Fit Bike vs Your Bike01:27:19 Pricing and Transfers01:28:24 Why Fits Matter01:30:48 Follow Ups and Fees01:33:54 Crank Length Debate01:37:07 Short Cranks Stories01:44:45 Trends and Geometry01:46:08 DTC Brands and LBS01:50:03 Wrong Bike Problem01:51:32 Wrap Up and Contact

Matthew 26:17-30 This exploration of the Lord's Supper takes us deep into Matthew 26, revealing how this sacred meal connects three essential moments in our spiritual journey: captivity, challenge, and celebration. We discover that Jesus didn't randomly choose a dinner to transform—He anchored the Last Supper to the Passover, a meal already saturated with centuries of meaning about God's deliverance from slavery in Egypt.

Matthew 25:31-46 This powerful teaching from Matthew 25:31-34 challenges us to reconsider how we perceive Jesus Christ. We often reduce Him to comfortable categories—perhaps as an advocate for the poor, a preacher of truth, or a conquering king—but the biblical portrait reveals something far more complete: the Shepherd King.

Matthew 24:36-51 This message confronts us with a truth we often resist: we don't know what's coming next. Drawing from Matthew 24's Olivet Discourse, we're invited into the tension between our desire for control and God's call to trust.

Lead Pastor Scott Brooks preaches from 1 Corinthians 14:26-40.

Matthew 22:15-22, 34-40 This message takes us into a powerful exploration of identity through the lens of a familiar biblical encounter about taxes. When Jesus was asked whether it was lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, His response went far deeper than a simple yes or no.

Campus Pastor Chad Kettler preaches from 1 Corinthians 14:1-25.

Matthew 21:28-32 We all process life differently, like solving a math problem in our heads. Some of us break numbers down, others visualize patterns, and still others reach for a calculator. This simple truth reveals something profound about our spiritual lives: we each have patterns of thinking that shape how we relate to God and respond to His call.

Matthew 18:21-35 This message dives deep into the uncomfortable reality of relational indebtedness and how we all keep invisible ledgers in our hearts. Drawing from Matthew 18, we encounter the shocking parable of the unforgiving servant who was forgiven an impossible debt of essentially 11 billion dollars, yet refused to forgive someone who owed him a mere twenty thousand.

TDC Lead Pastor Scott Brooks preaches from 1 Corinthians 12:1-11.

Matthew 17:1-8 We often place value on things that are unique and one-of-a-kind, whether it's a custom wedding ring, an autographed first edition, or an original painting. This natural human tendency to treasure uniqueness points us toward a profound spiritual truth: Jesus Christ is not one among many spiritual leaders or prophets. He stands completely alone in His divinity.

TDC Lewisville Campus Pastor Chad Kettler preaches from 1 Corinthians 11:17-34.

Matthew 16:24-25 In Matthew 16, we encounter one of the most pivotal moments in Scripture where Jesus asks His disciples a question that echoes through eternity: 'Who do you say that I am?'
