Save the Cowboy is a cowboy ministry for folks who'd rather carry their faith than shelve it. Led by Kevin Weatherby, founder and pastor of Save the Cowboy, it preaches the Bible the way a good cowboy tells a story: honest, funny, and hitting right where it counts. What started in 2011 has grown into one of the most recognized names in cowboy ministry, reaching people around the world who love the cowboy way of life — the real, working-ranch kind, not the costume — and are hungry for something true.
It's a sick pen for sinners, not a show ring for saints. Sunday mornings we're at the Elbert County Fairgrounds in Kiowa, Colorado — 9:30, sharp — with the Long X Ranch Cowboys as the ranch and discipleship arm of the work — and the podcast and videos carry it to folks everywhere else.
Save the Cowboy is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, faith-based working ranch dedicated to teaching authentic, everyday Christianity through the legacy, artistry, and traditions of the working ranch cowboy.
Keep the Gospel message simple without being shallow — plain talk, never watered down. When Kevin was asked to preach the very first time, he went to the Bible and found where Paul said, "When I was with you I vowed to preach nothing except Jesus Christ and him crucified" (1 Cor. 2:2). He had his subject — and for the delivery, he modeled the One who spoke in stories. Stories take the place of sermons, and lives change from the inside out.
Kevin Weatherby has been preaching to cowboys since 2008, when he pastored the Pecos County Cowboy Church in Fort Stockton, Texas. In 2011 he founded Save the Cowboy in Kiowa, Colorado — known for a plainspoken, story-driven style that's reached folks around the world.
