Save the Cowboy is the cowboy church podcast for people who like their gospel straight and their stories funny. Pastor Kevin Weatherby preaches the Bible the way a good cowboy spins a yarn — honest, humorous, and hitting right where it counts. His blend of ranch-and-rodeo humor with rock-solid Biblical truth has reached millions around the world and made Save the Cowboy one of the most recognized names in cowboy ministry. Meat-and-taters gospel. No frills. A sick pen for sinners, not a show ring…
"Weatherby to 65. Shots fired, shots fired." Some calls are dangerous the minute they come in. That is week two of Jesus' Own Man. Kevin Weatherby rides Luke 10, where Jesus sends seventy-two ordinary folks out two by two as lambs among wolves, with no supplies and a message that fits in a shirt pocket: the Kingdom of God is near you now. From the day his dad heard gunshots over a prison radio to…
In Rome, a legate was called Caesar's own man. He carried Caesar's power and authority into every room he walked into. That is week one of Jesus' Own Man. Kevin Weatherby opens the series in Zechariah 3, where a high priest stands in front of God in filthy clothes and gets handed a clean uniform he never earned. From seven years working inside a penitentiary to the day he held a loaded .357 on a…

You keep waiting to feel ready. The hard call, the fresh start, the leap of faith. A cowboy church sermon for the working man who's figured out ready never comes. Kevin Weatherby picks the First Time? series back up at the ranch: being ready is an emotion, being equipped is a leap of faith. From Romans 8:28 to Ephesians 4:11-12, this is about the God who wasted none of your story and has been…
When life backs you up to the edge of what you can't do, the trial was never the cliff itself. It's the choice you make standing at the edge of it.

From the prophet Elijah, worn down to nothing right after the biggest win of…
You don't have to have it all figured out to come to Jesus. Week 3 closes the Come to Me series on the easy yoke, and the plain truth that green isn't your problem, green is your ticket in. From Matthew 11:28-30, Kevin lands the series on what your first day with Jesus actually looks like: walking in green, knowing nothing, and getting taken in anyway. He tells his own first morning green on the…
Jesus says, "Come to me." And we say, "But I can't..." Jesus' whole invitation is three words, no qualifications, no fine print. So why do we keep making it hard? Week 2 of Come to Me rides through the parable of the Great Big BBQ in Luke 14, where every empty chair at the supper had a good-sounding excuse behind it: I bought some land, I bought five teams of oxen, I just got married. Kevin picks…
You can get worn smooth out. Tired down to the rivets. And the first three words out of Jesus' mouth in Matthew 11 are the ones most folks skip right past on the way to the famous part: "Come to me."

In this message: Why the first…

We've been ten weeks riding through the whole story of God, and this is where the trail comes out: not at a tombstone, but at a wedding and a city. Kevin opens in 1 Thessalonians 4 — the Lord coming down with a shout, the trumpet of God sounding the gather, and the dead in Christ rising first — then rides on into Revelation, where two books get opened: the book of everything you've ever done, and…
