My Cult Survivor Story on Special Cowboy Moments on RFD-TV & The Cowboy Channel

If you enjoy Rory Feek, Bill Gaither’s music Hour via Cracker Barrel Old Country Store, FarmHer & Equine Nation....

You see my story just made it onto the same national Tv network! RFD-TV download the app or go via cable, Roku & Direct TV etc.

But first an article from the show called "Special Cowboy Moments on RFD-TV"

A LIFE WITH NO EXCUSES

On the one hand Michael Ricks is an accomplished banjo prayer in Nashville who we had a lot of fun playing and jamming with. On the other hand he's someone who grew up with parents that were part of a religious cult.

And he watched his little brother die of meningitis in his praying father's arms, because they refused to take him to a doctor.

That sent Michael's life, at the age of 13, into a spirally downward depression, compounded by his bouts with untreated asthma.

Eventually he fought back, and you'll not meet a more "together" and thoughtful person who is using his negative experiences to help others.

And you can read about his life in his book entitled FROM CULT TO COUNTRY, that you can order by clicking here: https://www.amazon.com/Cult-Country.../dp/1790492424

To watch this on the RFDTV network you can download the app.

A big thank you to Exexcutive Producer Kevin Holten of Special Cowboy Moments on RFDTV RFD-TV

I was able to highlight the work of my Forbes top charity MAP International aka Medical Assistance Program and their work serving 13-20 million with medications to 3rd world countries. Providing 🎭 🧤 sanitizers during covid 19!

Every year two billion people live without access to medicines they desperately need.Your generosity can make a huge difference to help us provide medicines and health supplies to those in need around the world so they might experience life to the fullest. For every dollar you contribute, you help MAP International provide more than $84 in donated medicines and health supplies to people in need.

We can make this statement because MAP receives generous donations of medicines and health supplies and has relatively low expenses. Last year alone, we were able to provide nearly $525 million in medicine and health supplies with just over $9 million in total cash expenses, including $6.2 million in program expenses.
