Tie-Down Dane Kissack is a man who is easy recognized by his huge heart, positive attitude, and firm faith with Christ. Spending many days at a time on the road and long hours traveling between rodeos, Dane finds himself growing in his relationship with Christ everyday.
Dane was introduced to Christ at a young age and found that he could have a one on one relationship with Christ. At thirteen years old, Dane realized that roping was what he wanted to do for the rest of his life. In his words “ I want to take my life and give it 110% for the Lord in whatever I do. When things don’t go my way, I know God has bigger and better things planned for me and it makes me excited to see what He is going to bring me next in my life.”
All too often we see the goody-too-shoes, the buckle bunnies, and the trailer parties. With road life and free range there is a possibly of poor decision-making. For Dane, it can be discouraging at times but also encouraging to see that there is a need for good wholesome people to be leaders in rodeo. As a role-model to tie-down ropers of all ages, Dane focuses on why God has him in rodeo. It’s easy to get caught up in the sinful actions that happen behind closed doors; however Dane stands true to his values. “I can made a difference if I set an example and follow that.”
God has specifically placed Dane in the shoes he is wearing now, sharing his love and compassion for the Lord with each person he interacts with. When the opportunity arises, Dane leads Cowboy Church services and also hosts bible studies with friends and family. He encourages them to grow in their relationship with God and to find a personal reason, an interest to love the Lord and serve him with your actions.
