WELCOME, FRIEND.
We’re so glad you’re here – however you found us, or however providence may have brought you to our story, as we believe He once invited us.
Settle in, and turn some pages. We hope you feel at home with us as we navigate these matters of faith, sexuality, and masculinity.
If you feel so bold, introduce yourself with a comment or an email. We’d love to hear from you.
From here on out, we hope you never forget: you are not alone. Even the sparrow finds a home.
– Your Other Brothers
