What I meant was it's calling the list of posts not the page content nor displaying the bbpress content. Thank you for correcting me.

There's a decent plugin (hasn't been updated in over 2 years though) that works for this, bbpress-genesis-extend I was just trying to accomplish without adding more plugins, and to figure out what was going on.
I THINK it has to do with this:
BBpress calls your themes templates, and you can customize them: https://codex.bbpress.org/themes/theme-compatibility/The problem is (I think), for "forum archives", is that genesis handles them a little differently than other themes. So, if I create a page (eg community-forums) and paste the bb short code [bbp-forum-index], look ma, it works! I navigate to mysite.com/community-forums and I see a page with the bbpress archives.
IF I then (in bb settings) use community-forums as my base slug, genesis and bbpress ignore that I created a page. They think, "hey, this is an archive page! Genesis has page_archive.php, let's use that!" however bbpress relies heavily on the_content so it's trying to work it's magic within an excert.
So, out of the box, I can:
A) In genesis setting >> archives "show full content" ...it works!
B) Use a page I've created and choose a different forum root (however now slugs and bread crumb trail leads me back to the "broken" archive)
C) Use the magical plugin mentioned aboveDue to time smashing my head against the computer on this, I will probably stick with the plugin, but I must say this has been BUGGING ME 🙂
If you have any other ideas, I'd be happy to try them, otherwise I thank you kindly for your time and I'll mark it resolved.

So...
This displays forums normally BUT blog post archives show full post. Genesis --> settings
This setting makes blog posts show excerpt, but bbpress now is pulling an excerpt instead of showing the forum archive:
This is what it looks like now:
And a tag archive page:
I have found this consistently with several genesis themes, where the forum and blog "archives" are connecting somehow in the settings.
single forum and single topic behave as expected.
Here's the forum page -
