The Father, The Son, and The Charging Station

A Father’s Day Sermon from The Church of the One Wheel

Opening Scripture:

“Three in one are they: Creator, Rider, and Source of Power. And lo, they shared one port.”
— Book of Volts 3:16

Sermon:

Wheelievers,

Today we reflect on the mystery of the sacred three:

• The Father — the origin, the old-school trail rider who still wears elbow pads unironically

• The Son — the young, the reckless, the one who insists on carving between cars

• The Charging Station — the eternal source, ever humming, ever present, ever overheating slightly in the sun

Together, they are One.

A perfect loop of Creation, Motion, and Recharge.

This is the doctrine of the Triple Glide.

I. The Father: He Who Rode Before Firmware

The Father is the ancient rider.

He knows the names of boards no longer made.
He speaks in voltages.
He remembers when range anxiety was real.

He tells stories that begin with:

“Back in my day, we used to ride without mobile apps…”

He is stern, slow, deliberate — and occasionally carves better than you even though he rides with a knee brace and a Bluetooth speaker clipped to his belt.

Respect the Father.
He taught you to ride.
He still judges your tire pressure.

II. The Son: He Who Pops Curbs with Reckless Faith

The Son rides with abandon.

He has not yet tasted gravel.
He overestimates range.
He rides switch without knowing what it means.

And yet — he spreads the gospel.
He brings in new converts through YouTube shorts and chaotic trail footage.

Forgive him — for he knoweth not what “low battery” truly means.

III. The Charging Station: Source, Sustainer, Savior

The Charging Station is not flashy.
It does not chirp.
It does not carve.

It simply waits.

Quietly.
Faithfully.
Smelling faintly of plastic and cosmic duty.

When your faith runs low — when you see only one blinking bar — you return to it.

It asks nothing.
It gives everything.
It holds the plug that binds the Trinity together.

IV. Three in One, One in Charge

These three are distinct.
Yet they are one experience:

• The Father provides the wisdom.

• The Son spreads the joy.

• The Charging Station keeps them both from pushing home on foot.

Together they represent the cycle of sacred ride:

Ride, drain, plug in, repeat.

Closing Words:

“Let thy ride be long, thy cord uncoiled, and thy connection steady.”
— Power Book 7:7

This Father’s Day, give thanks to the one who taught you balance —
Who warned you about gravel —
And who still won’t ride without wrist guards.

And when in doubt, return to the source.

The Father, The Son, and The Charging Station.

Amen.
