Brad McClain
was raised in the cattle business in Alabama, his father a livestock order
buyer and rancher. This cowboy background and the church became the two
strongest influences of his life. This has led to a lifetime a-horseback
and in Christian ministry as a pastor, church-planter and retreat leader, both
in Alabama and in Texas. Brad currently serves as the pastor of Long X
Ranch Cowboys, an outreach of Save the Cowboy based in Kiowa, Colorado. He is
also a teaching instructor for the American Fellowship of Cowboy Churches. His
ministry page on Facebook and Instagram, God’s Horseback Gospel, reaches an
expanding audience of many thousands of people each day. His recent book, “Pass
the Reins,” is a collection of thirty cowboy stories and thirty poems with
devotionals that has been very well-received. He and his wife Stacey live
near Weatherford, Texas where they keep a few horses and a small herd of
longhorns.
