Today on the Cattle USA Daily Podcast, X2D Ranch Ministries' Dave Shumpert joins Lauren again. He comes on today to discuss biblical stewardship, faith, and redefining success in agriculture. Through X2D Ranch Ministries and Feed the Need, Dave is using cattle to serve families in need and invest in the next generation. Dave shares how God changed his perspective on ranching, business, and family. From financial decisions and surrendering control to recognizing that our families are our first ministry, this conversation challenges producers to consider what it truly means to steward what God has entrusted to them.
