Because of you…

We gathered before the sun came up.

Coffee in hand. Scripture open.

Stories slowly coming to the surface.

Men showed up carrying a lot—

questions, wounds, and a quiet fatigue that doesn’t always have a name.

Week by week, something began to shift.

Not all at once. Not dramatically.

But steadily.

What we’re seeing

Men naming what’s been buried.

Men stepping toward what matters.

Men realizing they’re not alone.

This is slow work.

But it is real work.

Because of you

we are free to go where a shepherd is needed—

even when no one knows to ask for one.

Because of you, there is a place for men to show up honestly and experience community.

Thank you

This is the work we share together:

Finding the wandering.

Gathering the scattered.

Tending the longing.

— Ken, The Free Range Pastor

Let's Pray...

We thank the Spirit for sustaining this work

for meeting men in quiet mornings and honest conversations.

We thank Jesus, the Good Shepherd,

that He cares deeply for those who wander, wonder, and are weary— and that He is drawing men out of isolation and into community.

We thank the Father for His love,

that continues to seek and call men toward Himself.

And we pray for the men who showed up

and for those who have yet to come. 

Father, seek them.

Jesus, gather them.

Spirit, tend and restore them.

Amen.

A FINANCIAL ASK...

The work of The Free Range Pastor is 100% crowd-funded by family & friends who know us, love us, and believe in the mission.

45% funded by monthly supporters, with 65% remaining through one-time & annual gifts.

Would you prayerfully consider becoming a monthly supporter or making up the difference through a one-time gift in this first Quarter of 2026?

BTW:

If you know someone in Memphis, Starkville, or Corinth that needs community like Wilco AM...

It's called "Men's Intensive" and they are live!
