Singer/songwriter and US Army drill sergeant Morgan Greenlee hangs out with us to talk about her Oregon Roots, her time in Nashville and her testimony.

We had a chance to talk with the "Queen of Joy" (as we call her), Miss Teen Rodeo Oregon, Katie Kilcullen. Katie is a 2 time rodeo queen title holder with aspirations of moving up the ranks to the highest level of rodeo queen. She is a beacon of light and has a wonderful testimony. Prepare to be encouraged!

We had the chance to have a conversation with Rose Merten from Teens and Oregon Mustangs. Teens and Oregon Mustangs is an amazing program that lets teens and adults adopt a wild mustang and train them for 100 days before showing their progress and auctioning them off. They have now trained and adopted out over 1200 wild mustangs to new homes. We talk about the correlation between horse training and our relationships with God, Rose's personal testimony and some other great topics.

We sat down with bull rider Nigel Coates and had a great conversation exploring his background. We talk about what makes him tick, some of his struggles and where he plans to be in the future. Nigel has a dynamic background and is pushing the envelope when it comes to merging the urban lifestyle with modern rodeo sport.

Enjoy!

We had a chance to sit down with Bull Rider and Runway Model, Liv Peters and discuss her powerful testimony. From drug addiction, finding her estranged father, losing college athletic scholarships and battling back from a horrible injury, this girl had been through the ringer!

Liv is a testament to how God's grace can lead us through the harsh realities of life and bring us out stronger and more loving than ever!

I had the pleasure to sit and talk with Elaine from Elaine's Images, and discuss her testimony. Elaine is a fantastic rodeo photographer from Washington state with a story of God's grace and how it shows up in our lives when we need it the most. She has overcome a lot in life and hasn't let it dim her spirit.

Elaine is a beacon of love to those around her and a shining example of the joy that comes from God.

To kick of our first ever episode, we though it would be fitting to sit down with the co-owner and my business partner at 8 Second Strong to discuss our vision for the company. We talk about Josh's testimony, the leap of faith that it took to create his companies, and the path that God has put us on at 8 Second Strong and with The Hold Fast Podcast. We hope you'll Hold Fast with us on this journey!
