Hey friend—welcome home. 💛

Whether you found us through a story, a post, or someone who knew this space was for you, we’re so glad you’re here. This forum is more than just a place to chat. It’s a community built around stories, faith, creativity, and real connection.

Before you jump in, here are a few things to help you get settled:

🏡 1. Start with the House Rules

We keep it kind, respectful, and safe. Please take a minute to read our [Welcome to the Center Rules] post so you know what’s expected—and what’s not tolerated.

📍 2. Introduce Yourself

We’d love to meet you! Head over to the [Introductions Thread] and tell us a little about yourself—what brought you here, what you’re reading, or even your favorite comfort snack. No pressure to be fancy. Just be you.

🧭 3. Explore the Boards

Here’s a quick guide to help you find your way around:

• The Welcome Center – (You’re here now!) Rules, intros, and how-tos

• The Hangout – Talk about anything & everything—just like family

• Meet Me There – Plan meetups, mission trips, or community events

• Talkback Table – React to reviews, news, and story conversations

• Shorts Library – Dive into our short stories & share your thoughts

• The Story Studio – Write or draw inspired by our story world

• Podcast Porch – Talk episodes, deep dives, and real-life topics

✨ 4. Be Yourself, But Don’t Be a Stranger

Jump in, leave a comment, ask a question. You don’t have to “earn” your spot here—you already belong. Just be kind, be curious, and be open to what this space could be.

We’re better with you in the room.

With love,

🫶🏽 His Vessels
