According to Kim Meeder, “True and authentic hope is only fully realized, not when we keep it for ourselves, but when we imitate Jesus Christ and give it away. That's when hope becomes mature.” On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson concludes his inspiring interview with Troy and Kim Meeder of Crystal Peaks Youth Ranch. Be encouraged as Kim shares about the unique personalities of horses, and how attuned they can be to a child in need and bring comfort.

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.
