The Strongest Cowboy

Well Howdy, buckaroos! It's good to see all your bright faces 'round this here fire. Tonight, we're gonna learn about what it means to ride for the brand.See now every ranch has its own special mark—a brand—stamped on its cattle and gear so everyone knew who they belonged to. And when a cowboy agreed to "ride for the brand," it was a solemn promise. A promise that he was gonna protect the ranch, work real hard to keep it goin', and stand tall together like one team. Now in tonight's story, we're gonna learn about a young cowgirl who did just that, and her name was Ruth. Send us Fan MailSupport the showSeason 1 Activity Book on AMAZONFREE- Season 1 Activity Book (Digital Download)

Well tonight's story is about that scared young cowpoke, Gideon, and how God used him to save the Israelites from those locusts eatin' up all their food. But what's that got to do with our special mugs Meemaw made us?Well how about I start spinnin' this yarn and you see if you can sort it out. After that angel visited Gideon and remember he laid his blankie outside all night, well he was finally ready to do what the Lord asked of him. He was ready to fight those rough and tough cowboys that came from all over to steal their food and destroy their land. Gideon rounded up about 32,000 strong cowboys. Send us Fan MailSupport the showSeason 1 Activity Book on AMAZONFREE- Season 1 Activity Book (Digital Download)

Howdy, folks! Good to see all your shining faces 'round this here fire. Tonight, we're gonna hear about a brave woman, a hesitant cowboy, and how God used some unexpected heroes to win a big battle.Now, folks, our story today takes us back to the land of Israel, a spell after we last visited. The people of Israel, well, they kinda strayed from the straight and narrow trail. They started doin' things that weren't pleasing to the Lord. And when folks wander off, sometimes trouble comes callin'.This time, the trouble came in the form of a mighty king named Jabin, the king of Canaan. He lived in a strong fortress called Hazor. His top general, a fella named Sisera, was a mean one. He had a whole mess of powerful war wagons, what they called chariots of iron – mighty fearsome, like a whole stampede of armored stagecoaches! He had 900 of 'em! And for twenty long years, he oppressed the people of Israel cruelly, pushin' 'em around and makin' their lives hard.Send us Fan MailSupport the showSeason 1 Activity Book on AMAZONFREE- Season 1 Activity Book (Digital Download)

Now this here is the story of our friends, the Israelites, ready to move on into the promise land. And this rodeo ain’t got no buckin’ broncos or lasso-slingin’ cowpokes. Nope… this here’s about a whole city called Jericho, and how its walls got bucked clean off the map by faith and a thunderin’ shout!Now, you remember last time—Joshua sent two brave scouts ridin’ into Jericho, quiet as coyotes under a moonlit sky. They came back sayin’, “Land’s mighty fine… but that city’s locked up tighter than a rancher’s prize bull before rodeo day.” Walls so tall and thick, they looked like they’d never be thrown. But the Lord spoke to Joshua, steady and sure, like a seasoned trail boss. He said, “Joshua, that city? It’s already yours.” That’s like bein’ told, “Son, the rodeo buckle’s got your name on it—you just gotta ride in and claim it.” Now here’s where things get… well… a little sideways.Send us Fan MailSupport the showSeason 1 Activity Book on AMAZONFREE- Season 1 Activity Book (Digital Download)

Took over as trail boss after Moses.

Well howdy, buckaroos! I'm so glad ya'll came back and ya know, today I'm gonna be readin' from the Good Book, but this is always a little hard for me to read. See, this passage is about when my best friend, Jesus, died on the cross. And even though, I know it all turns out alright in the end, well, it's still ain't easy thinkin' about someone you love goin' through a world of hurt, especially when they're doing it so you don't have to. Now this is a longer passage, so do your best to pay attention. Today, I'll be pickin' up where we left off in the book of Luke, startin' at chapter 22 verse 39 and going all the way through to the end of chapter 23. But enough of what I have to say, let's hear it from the Big Bossman himself. Send us Fan MailSupport the showSeason 1 Activity Book on AMAZONFREE- Season 1 Activity Book (Digital Download)

Well howdy there, buckaroos. I sure hope you’re settlin’ in cozy… tonight, I’m gonna read to ya from the Good Book. Last time, we talked about Jesus ridin' into Jerusalem on a donkey, and how happy and hopeful the people were to see him. Tonight, we're gonna talk about something called, "The Last Supper"It happens right in the middle of what some folks call Holy Week. Jesus had been teachin’, healin’, lovin’ people every step of the way… and now He’s sittin’ down with His closest friends for one final meal to celebrate the Passover—Passover is a special meal where God’s people remember how He rescued our friends, the Israelites, from slavery in Egypt by sparing their homes and making a way for their freedom. And on this night… Jesus is about to tell his closest friends how God plans to save them again. So let’s open up to Luke chapter 22… and hear it just the way it’s written.Send us Fan MailSupport the showSeason 1 Activity Book on AMAZONFREE- Season 1 Activity Book (Digital Download)
