A Personal History of Lewis Sterrett

Lew Sterrett (Ph. D) had little idea that his boyhood interest in horses would open doors internationally for speaking and training.  During his years in 4-H, he savored many opportunities to train and show horses and earn national recognition.  As a student leader at Penn State University he benefited from many mentoring relationships from which he received valuable training, experience and honors.  This was a time when his life took a drastic turn.  Rather than pursue his intended career in the equine industry, Lew did his graduate studies in Bible, in preparation for ministry.

Lew has served as the Executive Director of Miracle Mountain Ranch Missions, Inc. (MMRM) since 1977.  MMRM, located in northwestern Pennsylvania, is home for a summer youth camp, and a leadership training center for youth, adult, and family groups.  He has also promoted safety in public riding programs, serving as President of the Certified Horse Association for 7 years.  A licensed pastor, certified Youth, Marriage and Family Counselor, he earned his PhD from North Tennessee Seminary in 2007.

It is from this broad foundation of training and experience, that Dr. Sterrett has readily gained a hearing from audiences internationally.

The center of Dr. Sterrett’s presentation, is about basic relational principles which govern all human relationships.  Sermon on the Mount® teaches Lessons of Life from the Language of the Horse.  Principle Based Training® addresses the horse owner/trainer.  Leaders by H.E.A.R.T.  (Human Equine Analogies in Relational Training) is a training emphasis for community leaders.  In addition, Dr. Sterrett has numerous published resources.  For more information, please contact Lew Sterrett at:
