Operation HighGround Operation HighGround is a nonprofit organization that seeks to reach out to the most unreachable veterans who may not be interested in accepting help for themselves, but who would proudly jump at an opportunity to help other veterans. Operation HighGround is unique … not only in the method of involving our homeless veterans, but in the way we engage our sponsors, providing a win-win approach for all. We seek to improve and re-purpose existing state or federal sites that may currently be under-utilized. We are prepared to use vacant land for modular housing in cases where government-owned buildings are not readily available. The veterans are taught skills by working on the reparation or building of living quarters, which is then used for medium- to longer-term transitional housing. We partner with other established organizations to assist with the screening and treatment of issues for veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder or chemical dependency issues. Our sponsors assist in providing job opportunities for the newly trained veterans. This program also assists with the reintegration of veterans and their families. Visit Operation HighGround

Another steamy story conceived in the dead of winter when for many of us it's all we can do to hold it together, in the face of a deep freeze, cabin-fever, and the an imagination that's focused on something more with someone with similar needs and wants to be taken at face value and adored, and shown just how much. Not performatively or sensationally, but sincerely and supremely. Taking cues from women like KeatonJane, HeartScribe, and Canada's Dating Coach Chantal Heide, Jeff's set up is about strong women unfettered by the stories boys tell themselves, who unapologetically lean into their sensual and sexual selves, and take it any way and anytime they wish.

In this episode of Satisfied, the discussion continues around the question, “Was I born this way?” Rather than defaulting to the common cultural binary of heterosexual or homosexual identity, this episode explores a biblical category many have overlooked: those whom Jesus described as “born eunuchs” in Matthew 19:12. The conversation challenges assumptions about sexual desire, identity, and calling, and presents a compelling case that some individuals may be uniquely designed by God for a life of devoted, undistracted service to the King. Topics Discussed Recap of Romans 1 and the role of vain imaginations in shaping identity The difference between corruption and perversion Propensity toward sin vs. absence of sexual desire Matthew 19:12 and the three types of eunuchs Jesus describes The historical role and significance of eunuchs in ancient kingdoms The concept of intentional singleness and grace for chastity Cultural pressure equating victory with heterosexual marriage The vulnerability of those who lack sexual desire False identity formation through misplaced belonging The power of being understood in moments of isolation Reframing “born this way” through the lens of calling and purpose Viewing singleness not as deficiency, but as strategic kingdom design Key Takeaways Not every lack of heterosexual desire equals homosexual orientation. Jesus explicitly acknowledges individuals born without sexual desire. The absence of sexual desire is not a defect but may be a divine design. The church must stop presenting heterosexual marriage as the only vision of victory. Those uniquely designed for singleness may be called to powerful, focused kingdom service. Identity confusion often grows in environments where vulnerability meets misunderstanding. God does not make mistakes in design; He assigns purpose with intention. A life of undistracted devotion is not second-tier Christianity, but a high calling. Victory over deceptive thoughts starts early, before consideration turns into acceptance.

This episode of Honoring the Journey is a deeply personal conversation with Justin Telthorst, who shares his journey of coming out as gay at age 25 while remaining within the Catholic Church—a path that defied the common narrative of leaving religion behind. Growing up in a conservative Catholic environment in the Midwest, Justin initially viewed his sexuality as a "cross to bear" and his secret testimony to overcome. After years of internal struggle, falling in love with a man, and experiencing profound peace in that relationship, he faced a pivotal moment: conversations with unsupportive priests led him to leave his dream job at a Catholic nonprofit and begin the painful process of coming out. Rather than abandoning his faith entirely, Justin found his way back to Catholicism after several years, choosing to stay and create welcoming spaces within the church. He now runs a Discord community for LGBTQ+ Catholics, offers one-on-one spiritual direction, and advocates for a theology centered on God's infinite mercy and love rather than rules and condemnation.Follow Justin on Instagram.Empty Chairs WebsiteKey Points of Interest: • Justin's realization that the Catholic Church's teaching on homosexuality was based on outdated 1950s psychology, not serious theological reflection • The profound moment of peace he felt holding hands with a man while driving through the Colorado mountains—a spiritual experience that contradicted everything he'd been taught • His decision to return to the Catholic Church after leaving, viewing it as a place where he encounters God while maintaining spiritual autonomy • The importance of taking deconstruction "one step at a time" rather than trying to figure out the entire future at once • His discovery that Jesus's only commandment is to love God and neighbor—a realization that transformed his entire theological framework • The role of online community and welcoming churches in providing support during the coming-out process • His perspective that God's justice IS mercy, and that divine love is an "unfathomable ocean" we can't fully comprehend Honoring the Journey is hosted, produced and edited by Leslie Nease and the artwork for the show is also created by Leslie Nease.Want to get updates/announcements and a FREE Deconstruction Journaling Prompt PDF?

Send us a messageIn 1 Timothy 4:1, we are warned about deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons – with Ephesians 6:11-12 exhorting us to put on the full Armor of God in order to stand firm against the spiritual forces of wickedness and darkness that are at war with the people of earth.And as soldiers in service to our King, this message is a rescue mission – where the Holy Spirit has equipped us with the Sword of His Truth to fight the good fight of Faith – and to set free those who have been taken captive by the demonic spirit of Homosexuality  and every perversion that emanates from its deadly roots, with the divine intention to lead them into the safety net of Salvation's Eternal Life Redemption that is provided in the Blood Atonement Sacrifice of Yeshua Hamashiach – Jesus the Messiah – and in Him alone!Support the showVisit our website: https://agapelightministries.com/

GRAY AREAS, part 2 — Do you often wonder what God thinks about drinking, vaping, gambling, tattoos, country music, TikTok, AI, LGBTQ+, chewing tobacco, living together unmarried, and many others areas of life? Many times we are tempted to classify these as “gray areas”. Gray is a combination of two totally opposite and distinct colors: black and white. If the Bible does not directly address a specific topic, how can we be clear on how God wants us to behave? Follow along our message series, Gray Areas, as we discuss some relevant issues and how we can handle them from a Biblical world view.

Why does sexuality feel so confusing, painful, and loaded for so many people today? In Romans 1:24-27, Scripture confronts one of the most difficult and misunderstood topics of our time, not to shame us, but to tell us the truth about what's gone wrong and where real hope is found. In this message, Pastor Kyle walks through this passage, showing that sexual brokenness is not selective, it's universal. The Bible doesn't single out certain people. It exposes a deeper human problem, disordered desires that flow from exchanging the truth about God for a lie. Romans 1 helps us understand how desire, idolatry, and identity are connected, and how the Bible speaks to questions of sexuality, including same-sex attraction, with clarity and hope. Rather than fueling self-righteousness or condemnation, this passage calls us to humility and compassion. It reminds us that every person needs grace, and no one is beyond the reach of the gospel. This message is part of our ongoing series through the book of Romans at Two Cities Church. If you're wrestling with questions about sex, desire, identity, or faith, or walking with someone who is, this teaching is for you.

Does the Bible really stay silent on abortion and “consensual” same-sex relationships, or are we watching Scripture get twisted in real time? In this LIVE FREE special reaction episode, Pastor Josh reacts to Texas State Rep. James Talarico and breaks down the viral claims, the word-games behind them, and what the Bible actually says about life in the womb, sexual ethics, justice, and the role of government vs. the Church. You'll also hear Josh's framework for engaging people who are sincerely confused vs. those intentionally deceiving believers—and why Christians can't afford to be naive right now. You'll learn: - Why “Jesus never talked about it” is a weak argument (and what Jesus did affirm) - The Bible's case for life in the womb (Psalm 139, Exodus 21, John the Baptist's response to Jesus) - Why Romans 1 directly contradicts the “only abusive relationships” loophole - The difference between Christian conservatives and conservative Christians - Why “feeding the hungry” doesn't automatically equal “government redistribution” - The biblical definition of justice (equal weights and measures) vs. progressive “justice” (equal outcomes for groups) - What Galatians 3 (“neither male nor female”) actually means—and what it doesn't - Why these “pastor-politician” clips go viral (and what Scripture warns us about)

In this episode, Ryan and Stephanie Swanson address one of the most common and emotionally charged questions surrounding homosexuality: “Was I born this way?” Drawing from Scripture, personal counseling experience, and an anonymous testimony, they explain why this question often becomes a stumbling block rather than a starting point for truth. The episode emphasizes the role of thought life, cultural influence, and “vain imaginations” in shaping identity, while pointing listeners back to God's created order and the freedom found in aligning our thinking with His truth.Topics DiscussedWhy the “born this way” question often derails meaningful gospel conversationsThe influence of environment, culture, and suggestion on identity formationAn anonymous testimony illustrating how wrong thinking can take root at pivotal momentsSocial media, affirmation culture, and the normalization of identity confusionBiblical analysis of vain imaginations from 2 Corinthians 10 and Romans 1The danger of “considering” thoughts that contradict God's revealed truthPractical counsel for rejecting intrusive or accusatory thoughtsGod's design for men and women and the simplicity of His created orderKey TakeawaysYou are not obligated to consider thoughts that contradict what God has already made clearIdentity confusion often begins with unchecked imagination rather than conscious rebellionCultural affirmation does not equal moral truthScripture calls believers to actively cast down thoughts that oppose the knowledge of GodFreedom begins by agreeing with God, not endlessly analyzing feelingsVictory over deceptive thoughts starts early, before consideration turns into acceptanceReady to download the Cord App?
