Stephen Black, Executive Director with First Stone Ministries and author of “Freedom Realized,” discusses how people with same-sex attraction can find lasting freedom from homosexuality.

Mary welcomes back Jim Farrington of First Stone Ministries whose  primary purpose is to lead the sexually and relationally broken into a liberating relationship with Jesus Christ. In this podcast, we look at the perpetuation of twisted gender-bending ideology across different media. From a new documentary featured at Sundance Film Festival, to a second documentary about  the search for manhood in a culture that doesn't value it, we certainly are living in a time when Satan has ratcheted up the fight against humans who are made in God's image. Of course it is deeply spiritual at the core and the ministries that come alongside these unhappy victims are on the frontlines of the tough fight for men's - and women's- souls.   Shameless plug for swag for our listeners/donors! https://www.redpillprints.com/stand-up-for-the-truth - Thanks for YOUR Support!

Jim Farrington of First Stone Ministries takes us through his powerful testimony. We discuss the progressive move to normalize the concept of the "gay Christian" and how the church has had to redefine not only many pertinent Scriptures regarding godly living but even the word "Love" has to be given a different set of parameters in order to incorporate any sort of gay theology. Are gays "born that way"? Learn about the research on the genetics of the lifestyle. Watch Stand Up For The Truth on Youtube! firststone.org

There's no such thing as a single "gay gene" that drives a person's sexual behavior, concludes the largest genetic study ever conducted on the issue. Nearly half a million genetic profiles from the United States and the united kingdom found no causality between genetics and same-sex attraction. While LGBTQ advocacy groups have been pushing the "born this way" theory for decades, they are now left with no science to back up their claims that have largely been accepted and mainstreamed in culture. Stephen Black is an outspoken advocate for the possibility of change. He is the author of Freedom Realized, which is the subject of our conversation. He is the Executive Director of First Stone Ministries (www.firststone.org) and one of the founders of the Restored Hope Network. He serves on the board of Parents and Friends of Ex-gays and gays.

God forewarned us in the Bible. We’re now seeing Romans 1 and 2 Timothy 3 being played out in America and the world today. Evil is being called good and many are falling for deception and delusions.

One of those battles heating up in our culture is over sex and gender identity.
