Short Go – Mike Fletcher – God Held Me When I Couldn’t Hold Myself.

World Champion Saddle Bronc rider Mike Fletcher shares a powerful story about the day he rode the legendary J Bar J bareback bronc Nightmare on a cold and blustery day in northern Michigan. In his ministry, Mike shares this inspiring story from the pulpit, to describe his personal relationship with God. Nightmare was a great bucking horse and an even more incredible broodmare, with over 60 of her offspring chosen for the PRCA National Finals Rodeo, earning the cowboys that rode them millions dollars. Nightmare’s legacy is capped by her grandson, Nightjacket, being inducted into the PRCA Cowboy Hall of Fame in 2023.

We hope that you enjoy this episode and share it with your friends.
