WILCO PM Facilitated by
Free-Range Pastor Ken Leggett
What you can Expect…
We’ll gather in our family room for our
weekly check-in and teaching, then most
likely break out into smaller areas for conversations in the round.
An Open Letter To Whom It May Discern,
So, you’re reading this because a friend of
yours invited you to what sounds like a book club? Possibly you’re interested but not yet committed to leave your home on a
weeknight. Fair.
Let’s start with an introduction, I’m Ken Leggett; a free-range pastor.
Basically, I’m a 7-wing-8, ENFP who’s lived in Wilco for over a decade with my wife, three
kids, and a dog named Avett. I delight in bourbon and fires, people and community,
food and wine, the great outdoors and
people’s back porches, road trips, and adventure!
I’m fascinated with culture in all its various forms as well as what I’ve experienced to be glimmers of Heaven happening here on
Earth! I live out loud, respect those who don’t, and yet remain intrigued by people’s stories
and journeys. I actually do believe in Jesus
question Western Christianity regularly, and generally offer a winsome and welcoming stance to those who don’t or
won’t.
Most days, I invest my expertise in hospitality, creativity, and biblical wisdom in individuals
and communities so that everyone and everything thrives! I really am a free-range pastor, host, creative, teacher, and friend who lives and moves in and through the
community. Oh yeah, I can’t sit still and like to walk or hike fast!
Enough about me; what do I need to know about you? Honestly, are you looking for a community of people to talk about spiritual ideas centered around one of the most
familiar text from the Bible; Psalm 23? Do you have any interest in taking a short-term risk to step out of isolation and into a community of people seeking to encourage each other in
the right direction? Who are you and who
knows you? WILCO PM’s about creating a
space for possible friendship and at a
minimum thought-provoking convo and possibly a few good-to-bad laughs?
Are you interested in helping make this
happen? Apparently, someone thinks you should!
If you’re open to a convo over coffee, bourbon
or a walk let’s connect. Or just get to it and follow your friend's advice, sign up for WILCO
PM and we’ll get to know one another over seven weeks starting March 18th. We promise; it’s worth it.
Peace, Ken

Commitment:
1. Complete the online registration, make a
$55 donation, or use the FREE Code
(WILCOPM) and receive this as a Gift
(donations cover the cost of weekly Food,
books, vibe, coffee, and swag to host WILCO

3. Complete the weekly assignments (reading 20-35 pages and watching 1-2 short videos)
4. Participation in Conversations.
Table Assignments:
Depending on the number of participants we may break into smaller groups to help
facilitate conversations and further relationships. Typically 8 people will be
assigned to a group and meet in an area of
our home conducive to conversation. You’re welcome to form a group or request to be in someone’s group during registration. For the sake of consistency, these groups will remain the same for 7 weeks.
Conversation Topics:
This Springs WILCO PM will focus on 7 conversations regarding Pslam 23.
The Finer Print:
A non-antagonistic approach to Christianity
is necessary. Agnostics, skeptics, and cynics with a charitable attitude are welcomed and are a value add. There’s no church or denominational membership driving the
culture of WILCO PM nor are church or denominational membership required by participants. An entry-level understanding
of the Bible/Christianity is helpful but not necessary. WILCO PM is curated, hosted, and
led by an ordained Pastor with no ambition
to set a bait-and-switch culture. All agendas and ambitions for WILCO PM have been or will be communicated during the course of the seven weeks. (See WILCO PM good faith agreement and Core Values for the Finer Print)
Thanks for taking a seriously considering
WILCO PM; hope to see you on March 18th!

The Lord of Psalm 23: Jesus
Our Shepherd, Companion,
and Host
By David Gibson, Expository Study of Psalm
23 Reveals the Beauty and Deep Theological Meaning behind a Familiar Part of Scripture
Psalm 23 is one of the most recognizable passages in the whole Bible. Though relatively short, this poetic depiction of God’s love epitomizes Christ’s goodness and provision as he leads his children. Even lifelong Christians
will find fresh encouragement by closely studying these familiar words.
David Gibson walks through each verse in
Psalm 23, thoroughly examining its 3
depictions of the believer’s union with Christ
as sheep and shepherd, traveler and companion, and guest and host. Gibson provides canonical context for the Psalm’s beautiful imagery, inspiring praise and
wonder as readers reflect on the loving Shepherd who meets every need.
Rich Theology: Adapted from 3
engaging sermons by David Gibson
Expository: Closely examines Psalm 23’s imagery and what it reveals about the relationship between Christ and his followers
Uplifting and Informative: Encourages
deep reflection on Christ’s provision, comfort, and eternal strength
With a Foreword by Sinclair Ferguson
David Gibson (PhD, University of Aberdeen)
is the minister of Trinity Church in Aberdeen,
Scotland. He is a coeditor of From Heave He Came and Sought Her, and his publications include Living Life Backward: How Ecclesiastes Teaches Us to Live in Light of the
End; Radically Whole: Gospel Healing for the Divided Heart; and The Lord of Psalm 23: Jesus Our Shepherd, Companion, and Host. He is married to Angela, and they have four
children.
