Some times it can be a bit confusing, so head over to the Community Support Hub
Look for the section: How To's [Discord]
The simplest way to describe Discord is that its a bunch of different chatrooms based on specific topics. It may feel a bit overwhelming at first but once you click around for 5-10 mins, you'll get the hang of it.
If you're really struggling, go into any of the chatrooms and type "@mod" followed by your question and a moderator will come and help you.
In this episode, Johnny interviews his mom and she shares the details and struggles of her life through marriage, business, and parenthood with both of her sons going to prison. Mama Chang shares how her life changed when she came to Christianity from Buddhism.
