This week the boys talk about when they first knew they landed in rural small town U.S.A.  Listen to what they have learned since and how to win over the small town you have been called to as an outsider.

What does true cooperation and shared vision really look like? Listen to the Riders as they talk more about their vision and what it takes to come together in Rural America?  

The boys take a pause to reflect on why they love to be out on the trail: the joys and loves of being a small town pastor in rural America.

Listen this week as the Riders talk about what to do when you are out on the trail with a storm rolling in and a snake spooks your horse.  This is not your typical self-care talk.

When you feel like you just want to throw in the towel and walk away.  Listen to the boys as they talk about grit and why you need it to build a long and successful homestead.

What do you do when your expectations don't line up with your vision?  Building a ranch takes time and hard work.  In this episode the boys will look discuss what it takes to build a homestead.

In this episode the riders talk about the mutually shared vision that brought them together in the first place. What if we acted more like the body and less like disjointed body parts.  Join us as the boys talk about a hub focus, mutually shared ministry concept that might just win back the west.
