In this episode, Luke sits down with Jayme from Inspiring Champions Livestock, a remarkable program based in Brownwood, Texas, that’s changing lives through the power of agriculture. Inspiring Champions pairs special needs kids with mentor students to learn the ropes of showing livestock — building confidence, friendships, and a deep sense of belonging along the way. Jayme shares the heart behind the program, incredible success stories from the show ring, and how this unique community effort is inspiring others across Texas and beyond.
Tune in for an uplifting conversation about inclusion, mentorship, and the life lessons that come from caring for animals — and each other.
