ABOUT Wayfarers Gaming Clan

The Wayfarers

The Wayfarer Gaming Clan is a group of Christian Gamers whose beliefs impact how we live, how we play, and how we interact with one another.
Through our fellowship, we seek to encourage each other to deepen our faith and live lives that reflect the God we serve.
We seek to create a space where we can be vulnerable with each other, encourage each other, and enjoy gaming and life together.
We operate under a guild structure: a hierarchy of leadership ranks where new members are mentored and discipled by older members. We care more about personal character than gaming skill. You do not have to be a Christian to join us - but know that we are a Christian clan, our rules and expectation for conduct are informed by our faith, and our leaders and admins are expected to live out their faith publicly.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT:
I don't like doing posts like this, I much prefer speaking personally, but I recognize that this community extends beyond those who show up regularly on Thursday nights. Those who do already know what this is about.

Many of you who were around at the beginning, or those who have discussed Wayfarers with me in person, are aware of the passions behind this project and the vision I had for what it could become. Those of you that know this also know how far we have to go to attain the vision. And there is a reason for that, a reason that is not any of your fault.

This time last year (or thereabouts) it was becoming abundantly clear that things in my life were not sustainable. I was burning out physically, emotionally, and spiritually and was not sure how much longer I could press on. Tim (BrotherTimothy) who is my pastor, mentor, and also brother met with me to discuss what things we could do to try and stop the bleeding, so to speak. In addition to some life changes, I stepped down from running a small group at church and modified my approach to Wayfarers.

While we both agreed we did not want to give up on the vision I had, we would settle on what was most sustainable to preserve what we had. Reamer (JJ) took over leading the Minecraft server, Aaron (CyberDwarf) took over board game night, and all growth plans were scrapped. Wayfarers was in a holding pattern.

Last summer was a Rollercoaster. Those of you who know me personally know why, and those who don't are welcome to reach out in private - I'm more than comfortable talking about it. After coming out of a dark road of depression and establishing healthier patterns in my life, I have been evaluating where I invest myself and how best to steward my time, efforts, and passions in a way that is both honoring to God and to my wife.

After discussing it with Tim, this has lead to my decision to step out from leading Wayfarers. The reality is that I do not feel, at this time, I am able to give it the time and effort it needs to become what I had envisioned, and the holding pattern it is in is only leading to slow stagnation. Meanwhile God has continued to open new doors an opportunities for me to use my gifts, pursue my convictions, and lead a healthier life. To put it frankly, there isn't enough room to do Wafarers, be a Godly husband, and continue to grow in the ways God is leading me.

The Discord will remain. If someone wants to step up to run the regular game nights they can reach out to Tim, otherwise the monthly events will stop. But you can continue to fellowship and use both the server and the name of Wayfarers as long as you like. I'll still be around, I just won't be running it anymore. I want to once more iterate that this is not the fault of anyone, I am not upset, it is just time for what comes next. I still hope to see all of you online and continue the relationships we've built.
