Honored to Join You

   If you’ve got a front porch, a patch of grass, a table with an extra seat, or even just a floor—we’re honored to join you. You don’t actually need anything; we’re just honored to meet a new face. 

   You can reach out online, in person, and say hello anytime… if we don’t beat you to it! Whether it’s a backyard barbecue, a bowl of ramen, or gay karaoke night, we’re grateful for the invitation.

   It doesn’t matter what you believe in or don’t. You might worship God, many gods, or none at all. You might carry crystals or rosary beads, vote left or right, wear boots or go barefoot. You’re welcome with us! 

   We don’t care if your clothes are tattered or tailored, if you’re sober or not, if your past is spotless or complicated. We’re not here to judge. We’re here to be present. To share food, a story, a silence, an experience. We won’t be perfect, but we won’t expect you to be either.

   Your house doesn’t need to be tidy, and neither does your life. We’ve sat with people in trailers, in tents, in mansions, in barns; and every time we felt welcome, we felt just as at-home as anywhere else. They say home is where the heart is, but our hearts are with the world, and the world is our home. 

   We can talk about anything. Your job, your childhood, your heartbreak, your doubts. We can sit in laughter or grief. We don’t expect you to have the answers. We don’t either. 

   You don’t need to clean up, act nice, or pretend to be okay. You don’t need to believe what we believe, or live how we live. This walk isn’t about converting or convincing. It’s about connecting. Growing together through understanding above conforming.

   And every time we get to share a meal, a ride, a moment under the same sky with someone new, we remember what makes our world so beautiful.

You.

Thanks for letting us in. We might not have literal doors, but our hearts our wide open to you.
