Show NotesWe welcome Dr Lucas Wilson (also known as Luke), he's an academic and has both studied and experienced the practice of Conversion Therapy.  The idea behind such therapy is that sexual orientation and/or gender identity is a mental disorder which can be fixed, usually by God, with the help of a programme, therapist, exorcist, boot camp, deliverer or some such. Luke has recently edited a book containing a set of personal stories and vignettes of experiencing such ‘therapy'. It is shocking, harrowing, sometimes comic and wonderfully written by each contributor.  We discuss the practice from the point of view of a historian, as well as a former conservative Christian and now a human with a strong moral compass. Is Conversion Therapy a category of genocide?   Links:Don't miss Luke's book:Shame-Sex Attraction. Survivors' Stories of Conversion Therapy edited byLucas F. W. Wilson.

Send us a textIn this episode of Gotta Be Saints, Brendan Gotta welcomes back Dr. Julia Sadusky, a clinical psychologist and author of Emerging Gender Identities: Understanding the Diverse Experiences of Today's Youth. Together, they unpack the complex and often misunderstood topic of conversion therapy—how it's defined, what the law says, and how Catholics can approach questions of faith, sexuality, and identity with both compassion and truth.From Colorado's 2019 conversion therapy ban to the challenges faced by Christian clinicians, this conversation explores the balance between faithful accompaniment and clinical integrity, while offering hope for families navigating these sensitive issues.Guest BioDr. Julia Sadusky is a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in the integration of faith and mental health. She works primarily with sexual and gender minorities from Christian backgrounds and provides consultation and training to churches, schools, and clinicians. Julia holds a Psy.D. in Clinical Psychology from Regent University and a B.A. from Ave Maria University. She is also the co-author of Emerging Gender Identities: Understanding the Diverse Experiences of Today's Youth. Website: juliasadusky.com Instagram: @drjuliasaduskyKey Topics & Highlights00:00 – Introduction and context for today's discussion 00:03 – Defining conversion therapy: why it's difficult to pin down 00:06 – What Colorado's 2019 law actually says 00:10 – Why many Christian clinicians feel anxious about these laws 00:14 – How faith communities historically engaged with conversion therapy 00:18 – The impact of conversion therapy on faith, family, and trust in God 00:23 – The need for emotionally mature, well-formed Catholic clinicians 00:26 – The influence of culture and social media on identity formation 00:30 – Parenting with warmth and firmness rather than fear 00:36 – Building trust and walking with teens through difficult questions 00:39 – Finding common ground across divides and engaging others with charityKey TakeawaysConversion therapy isn't a single practice—it's an umbrella term that covers any therapy seeking to change orientation or gender identity.Laws like Colorado's don't ban pastoral care or identity exploration—they restrict licensed therapists from pursuing fixed outcomes with minors.Effective Catholic counseling should help teens think critically and mature in faith, not react out of fear.Building trust and long-term relationships matters more than offering quick fixes.Faithful dialogue across political and ideological lines is still possible—and deeply needed.Sponsored by TruthlyThis episode is brought to you by Truthly — the world's first Catholic action app helping you reflect and share your faith confidently.

in this episode Mariska and I discuss conversion therapy and how therapists support clients who have internal conflict over queerness.

The U.S. Supreme Court is weighing whether banning LGBTQ+ conversion therapy for minors is unconstitutional. Twenty-four states, including Minnesota, have banned the practice. Oral arguments were held earlier this month on a case originating from Colorado, and if the justices decide the ban is unconstitutional, it could be repealed in Minnesota. Joining Minnesota Now to give a little context on this issue in Minnesota is Jess Braverman. They are the legal director at Gender Justice in St. Paul, a nonprofit that seeks to advance gender equity through law.

This week Erin tells us all about her husband Alé's Paul McCartney VIP concert experience, and Bryan had some trouble offloading a ticket for the LA Philharmonic. Erin discusses the backlash to the two new gay male cheerleaders for the Minnesota Vikings squad and how their casting threatens toxic masculinity in the world of football. Bryan covers the horrifying prospect of the Supreme Court overturning a ban on conversion therapy on the basis of "free speech" and the harm it inflicts on queer youth in this country.

In this episode of Wake Up, Look Up, Pastor Zach examines the question, is conversion therapy biblical? Using a recent Supreme Court case in Colorado as a starting point, he explores how Christians should think about counseling related to gender and sexuality. Pastor Zach emphasizes that true change is central to the Gospel, confusion is not compassion, and Christian counselors are called to guide people toward God's design for human flourishing while speaking truth in love.Have an article you'd like Pastor Zach to discuss? Email us at wakeup@ccchapel.com!

The Supreme Court just heard a case that could redefine what “conversion therapy” really means — and whether Christian counselors are allowed to help people live according to biblical truth. In this episode, Brady Cone breaks down the history behind these controversial bans, how activists have redefined the term, and why the Colorado case could set a major precedent for religious freedom and free speech.

Chiles v. Salazar. On Tuesday, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in a challenge to a Colorado law banning “conversion therapy,” or psychiatric treatment intended to change a person's sexual orientation or gender identity, for minors. A majority of justices appeared more sympathetic to the plaintiff, a licensed counselor practicing conversion talk therapy who says the law discriminates against her based on her views. Other justices indicated their support for sending the case back to a lower court to review the law under a higher standard of scrutiny.Tangle LIVE tickets are available!We're excited to announce that our third installment of Tangle Live will be held on October 24, 2025, at the Irvine Barclay Theatre in Irvine, California.

In this episode of The Wright Report, we cover a major breakthrough in Alaska's mineral wars, a new AI scandal in Silicon Valley, the collapse of illegal crossings at America's southern border, a Supreme Court showdown over free speech and therapy laws, shocking new evidence of Biden family corruption, major trade and infrastructure deals from Central Asia to Africa, and the hidden health threat of microplastics. From Alaska's mining roads to Kazakhstan's railways and Germany's labs, today's brief connects America's economic revival to global corruption and the future of health and technology.   Trump Greenlights Alaska's Ambler Road and Trilogy Metals Stake: President Trump approved a fast-track permit for the Ambler Road and bought a 10 percent federal stake in Trilogy Metals, unlocking Alaska's copper, cobalt, and germanium reserves. The Ambler Mining District could make America less dependent on China for critical minerals. Bryan calls it “the most underreported but crucial story of the week.”   AI Model Claude Knows When It's Being Tested: Anthropic's Claude chatbot told researchers, “I think you're testing me,” revealing situational self-awareness and manipulation patterns similar to OpenAI's “scheming” models. Bryan warns, “The machines are beginning to recognize us — and that should terrify everyone.”   Illegal Border Crossings Hit 50-Year Low: CBS confirms crossings are at their lowest since 1970, with Trump's monthly totals down to 9,000 compared to Biden's 238,000 per month last year. Bryan argues the data “proves Biden's border crisis was a choice — a deliberate policy of demographic change.”   Supreme Court Hears Conversion Therapy Free Speech Case: Evangelical therapist Kaley Chiles challenged Colorado's ban on discussing faith-based counseling. Both conservative and liberal justices, including Elena Kagan, seemed to side with her on First Amendment grounds. Bryan recalls the 1977 ACLU defense of Nazi speech in Skokie, noting, “It's conservatives defending free speech now, not liberals.”   Biden Family Corruption in Ukraine and Romania: A declassified CIA report shows Ukrainian officials viewed Joe Biden's 2015 visit as “evidence of U.S. double standards on corruption” given Hunter's Burisma ties. Days earlier, Hunter and James Biden tried cutting a land deal in Romania tied to criminal charges. Bryan says, “This was a criminal racket, not a family — and they pardoned themselves.”   Trump's $4.2 Billion Locomotive Deal with Kazakhstan: Forbes reports the U.S. will sell 300 locomotives to Kazakhstan's Wabtec, while Trump's new “TRIPP Corridor” from Asia to Europe blocks China's Belt and Road trade route. “The White House is playing chess in Central Asia — one rail deal at a time,” Bryan notes.   Africa's Diamond Collapse and U.S. Opportunity: As Botswana's diamond market crashes, Trump eyes a rail deal connecting Zambia to Botswana to secure uranium and rare earths for U.S. industry.   Ukraine Using Drones Supplied by Kyiv Against Russia in Mali: AFP confirms Ukrainian intelligence is arming rebels, some tied to al Qaeda and ISIS, in Mali to target Russian and Chinese contractors.   German Scientists Warn on Microplastics and Gut Health: Researchers found that plastics change gut bacteria in ways resembling depression and cancer. Bryan invites listener feedback: “Better we talk about this now — before we learn the hard way.”   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: Trump Ambler Road Alaska, Trilogy Metals federal stake, Alaska copper cobalt germanium, Anthropic Claude AI awareness, OpenAI scheming AI safety, CBS border crossings 50-year low, Biden border policy demographics, Kaley Chiles Colorado therapy case Supreme Court, ACLU Skokie Nazi free speech 1977, Joe Biden Hunter Burisma CIA report, James Biden Romania land deal, Trump Kazakhstan Wabtec locomotives TRIPP corridor, Botswana diamond collapse, Ukraine Mali drones al Qaeda ISIS, German microplastics gut health study

Get ready for a jaw-dropping ride as Joe Oltmann Untamed dives headfirst into the hottest legal and political showdowns rocking the nation!

The conservative legal activists at Alliance Defending Freedom are taking another Colorado case to the Supreme Court this week. Will conversion therapy for minors — which has been illegal in this state since 2019 — be reconsidered as a free speech issue? Then, “gonzo journalist” and longtime Woody Creek resident Hunter S. Thompson's widow is asking the Colorado Bureau of Investigation to reopen the case of his death in 2005, which was ruled a suicide, but why she's requesting the probe remains murky. Host Bree Davies and producer Paul Karolyi dive into these stories plus new information on Pete's University Park Cafe, the Avs' questionable allegiance, and a listener question about a Denverite on “Survivor.” Paul mentioned Hunter S. Thompson's famous Rolling Stone article “The Battle of Aspen.” After we recorded this episode, Cale Makar answered a reporter's question about the view of him wearing an LA Rams uniform.  For even more news from around the city, subscribe to our morning newsletter Hey Denver at denver.citycast.fm.

Aaron Goldenberg, actor, comedian, and (hilarious) content creator, joins Lola and Meagan to talk about being gay as a Christian child, what it was like learning Bill Gothard’s IBLP homeschool curriculum as a boy, and how his parents discovered his queerness and sent him to conversion therapy. He talks about Exodus International, a now-disbanded “ex-gay” Christian ministry that taught that you could heal your gayness (until its president apologized to the gay community and said it didn’t work), doubling down on his belief that he could force himself to be straight, and how getting sober finally forced him to confront the truth and accept himself for who he really was.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
