Kevin Weatherby is the leader of the nonprofit Save the Cowboy, the largest independent cowboy ministry in the world.  Born on a West Texas forty-two section ranch, Weatherby’s roots were planted deep. Although his formative years were spent in Big Lake, Texas, a town where his father was sheriff (you may remember it from the Dennis Quaid movie The Rookie), he soon returned to his ranch roots. He started college at Texas Tech but found the classrooms no comparison to the wide-open spaces and became a full-time cowboy. The long hours he logged in the saddle over the years weren’t a passing trend and continue to be a part of his life today. In fact, it is this core of his identity that led him to a deeper relationship with Christ and the start of the ministry.
