From the time she was a 7th grader in rural Minnesota, Deb Core knew she was passionate about livestock judging. Her mentors in 4H inspired her to pursue a path that would lead her to build a new layer on a family farm's legacy here in Pleasantville and become the first woman to judge the famous American Royal Steer Show in 2023. But beneath a growing tower of accolade and prestige is a humble, Jesus-loving woman with a feed bucket and a warm smile. When it comes to hard work, Deb sets the standard. As a member of the Pleasantville community, Deb has been an advocate, mentor, and friend to many. Her love for God and people has been demonstrated in her generosity, wise words, and open arms.
Emily and Jennie sit down with Deb to talk about her life and passions. She shares wisdom with us on faith, raising kids, and the rewards of living a sacrificial and hard working life.
And, we even picked a GenZ word of the pod just for her! Find out what your GenZ teen means when they use the word, "Slaps"! If you're a member of the livestock showing community, you'll know why we picked THAT word in particular.

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
