Passing Hope On To Others - Part 2 with Guests Kim and Troy Meeder

Many children with physical and emotional scars have a profound connection with horses that have been through similar hardships. For years, Crystal Peaks Youth Ranch has been a refuge for both broken horses and broken children. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson continues his heartfelt discussion with Troy and Kim Meeder. They discuss the impact Kim's grandmother had in her life, as well as stories of the children who have come to their ranch, and how the Lord worked through Troy and Kim’s ministry.

About Today's Guests: Troy and Kim Meeder
Troy Meeder serves as co-founder and chief executive officer of Crystal Peaks Youth Ranch (CPYR) alongside his wife, Kim. He also travels to similar ministry ranches throughout the nation and abroad to provide consultation, support, instruction and conflict resolution. In addition, the Lord’s message of hope gives Troy the opportunity to speak to churches, leadership organizations, men’s conferences and retreats nationwide. He is the author of "Average Joe."

Kim Meeder is the co-founder and chief communications officer of Crystal Peaks Youth Ranch (CPYR), located in the foothills of the Cascade mountains near Bend, Oregon. Kim became an orphan at the age of nine as the result of tragic circumstances. Raised by her grandmother, she developed a love for horses and their ability to provide emotional comfort. It was out of her childhood trauma and her path to recovery that the seeds for Crystal Peaks Youth Ranch were planted. Kim and her husband, Troy, started Crystal Peaks in 1995, and they have decades of experience working with abused children and neglected horses.
