Eight-time NFR qualifier Will Lummus joins Luke Branquinho to talk about his career in professional rodeo, the evolution of the sport, and the next generation of rodeo athletes.
From crossing the $2 million career earnings mark to winning the 2021 NFR average, Will reflects on the milestones that have shaped his career and why building a life beyond rodeo is just as important as succeeding inside the arena. Now serving as a college rodeo coach at Northwest Mississippi Community College, he's helping young athletes develop their skills, pursue their education, and prepare for life after competition.
Will also opens up about one of the most personal chapters of his life: his and his wife Jenna's long journey with infertility and their decision to pursue IVF. He shares how faith, prayer, and learning to trust God's timing have shaped their journey as they look toward the future.
It's an honest conversation about rodeo, family, faith, and learning that sometimes the biggest moments in life happen when you let go and trust the process.
