SUMMARY: The Challenge of Understanding - Kim and I acknowledge and discuss, that many Christians (me included) struggle to truly love like Jesus without feeling like they're compromising biblical truth with regard to the LGBTQ community, and Kim shares her journey with her LGBTQ child. It's a genuine complexity to understand how to find balance and Kim sets the marker at the foot of the cross. Judgment vs. Discernment - Parts of the conversation focuses on the difference between judgment and discernment. Kim stresses the importance of building relationships and understanding individual stories because we can't expect to be heard if we don't first invest, aka listen. The Role of the Church - The conversation touches on the importance of allowing space for questions and struggles without fear of judgment or ostracism. Invite difficult conversations and differing viewpoints for the purpose of discovering and revealing God's truths and His heart about the matter for both the one struggling with identity issues as well as the believer who may have a heart posture that God wants to bring a deeper revelation that aligns with His truth, love, character and nature. Embracing Both Faith and Love - As Kim reveals, it's possible to hold onto faith while loving an LGBTQ child. Kim emphasizes that understanding doesn't mean affirming every choice but involves listening, empathizing, and walking alongside them. Tools and Resources - Kim's journey led to the creation of resources like "Pride and Promises," aimed at helping families navigate these complex dynamics. Final Reflections - The conversation ends with a powerful reminder of God's scandalous grace — a grace that doesn't discriminate and a love that is unwavering. Kim's story is a testament to the transformative power of love and the importance of reflecting Christ's love in all interactions. We can lay down the weight of judgement, which enables us to share God's truths without feeling responsible for the outcome and relax in the knowledge that the Holy Spirit is qualified to do His work. In navigating these challenging waters, may we all strive to embody the empathy, compassion, and love that Kim so beautifully advocates for. PODCAST INTRO: My guest is Kim Stlip and she is the founder of Pride and Promises, a beautiful ministry she created that equips believers to hold on to their Christian faith and their LGBTQ+ kids. But I want any parent listening to know, no matter how your child identifies you'll find great wisdom in the biblical discernment that Kim shares. Kim doesn't have any 3 letter adjectives behind her name or lofty degrees that declare her worthy but she is a mom with the courage to stand in the gap between God's truth in the holy scriptures and God's heart for humankind. Kim is motivated by the fact that many Christians struggle to truly love like Jesus without feeling like they're compromising biblical truth. When I think about the phrase of investing blood sweat and tears, surely Kim's picture is next to that description…actually, any mom who has been willing to be the punching bag (my words not Kims) for truth in the very context of a broken world and their children trying to find their way in it. I want to share my personal take away from our conversation because I could really relate to every bit of the relationship aspect of our conversation and relationships beyond my children. I do not have children who struggle with same sex attraction but relationship (across the board) is hard, complicated and layered. I used to think that the hardest part of raising children was when they were young and I was trying to bend their will to the things that would bring them reward, benefit, health. In my heart I was trying to equip my sons to contribute to the world in meaningful, purposeful ways. But no one told me it would be more difficult when they were adults and you have to watch them struggle with the complexities of life as it gets weightier and responsibility after responsibility is added to their years. Here's a quote from Kim “And the hard part is when we hold on so tightly to our right and your wrong, and we don't take one another's stories with empathy, then that's where we hold our fist up and we don't end up coming back together. And so you always diffuse anger with empathy and understanding. And truly, anger is almost always love disappointed.” That my friend hit me in the heart. I had a powerful reminder of the finished work of the cross when Kim brought us back to the cross….and it always comes down to this for any human being (and not just in the context of this topic, it's all of humanity)….if the opportunity to have direct access to God again was going to be a possibility then it was necessary for Christ to go to the cross. For me, my sins. Imagine yourself as the only person alive and Christ goes to the cross for you. He endured the horrific process of crucifixion, the bloody, beaten beyond recognition, publicly stripped naked, disfigured in every way; and I've read some commentary that pointed out you would not have been able to tell if he was male of female.  When Christ hung on the cross He had no guarantee that any of us would choose Him. Now, God knows our heart, the condition/character/nature and because of that He knows which one of us will choose Him but that does not negate the fact that our gift of choice is still a real thing. He doesn't man-handle our gift of choice. There's enough evil in the world to see that He does not intervene with our ability to choose. In other words, He doesn't remove that ability because we refuse to use it in a responsible, wise, healthy way but it is worth remembering He is capable of healing anything this broken world does to us via other peoples choices or the places we find ourselves in because of our own choices. Kim has such courage to have this delicate conversation pointing out that the core of where the conversation should be grounded is in the person of Christ versus where the church and most people, myself included focus on, and that is sexuality. I get it though, the world has made it a sexual issue but as believers we're to look through the lens of God's heart at the world around us. And that's what Kim does at Pride and Promises. A wealth of information that is honest, straightforward biblical truth and presented with the same compassion that Christ provided for each and every one of us on the cross. As Kim and I agreed, at the foot of the cross is level ground for sinners. When you hear Kim's heart behind her encouraging message, I hope that you have breakthrough in your personal life and personal relationships on every level. All of what she shares can be applied to any relationship we can experience because again, our conversations and heart motive should be grounded in the person of Christ. Let's get into the beauty, the hope, and the heart of God by listening to what Kim has to share!

In this bold prophetic conversation, Emma Stark, Louise Reid, and Phil Sanderson reveal why Romans 1:16 — “I am not ashamed of the gospel” — is the defining verse for the next 7 years of the Church. With piercing insight, they call the global body of Christ out of decades of shame and into a movement marked by emotional power, mass salvations, and authentic transformation. If you've felt the tension between cultural compromise and kingdom truth, this episode will ignite you to live unashamed and full of gospel fire.

We all know the secular world opposes the very idea of a person with same-sex attraction seeking any kind of therapy or spiritual counsel that might enable them to reach a state of healthy relations with the opposite sex. But what's odd is that many Catholics seem to have bought into this. Many assume that if someone is not currently attracted to the opposite sex, this is a static, lifelong condition and therefore they must be called to celibacy. But this view involves multiple misunderstandings – of the SSA experience, of anthropology, of the power of God's grace, and of the good of celibacy itself. Today's guests know otherwise because they both have a background with same-sex attraction, and yet are each now married with children. Andrew Comiskey and Marco Casanova run Desert Stream and Living Waters Ministries, which for decades have offered help to Christians seeking healing from sexual disorders (including but not limited to SSA). This conversation offers solid, spiritually and psychologically sound, experience-based answers to some disputed questions about how the Church should be pastoring those with same-sex attraction. It's not about “conversion therapy”. It's about conversion in the Catholic sense – one day at a time. --Can we really put a ceiling on God's ability to heal us psychologically? --Does any attempt at such healing amount to the secular bugbear of “conversion therapy”? --What does life look like for a person with a “gay” past who is now married to the opposite sex? --Is it legitimate for Christians to embrace a gay identity as long as they don't act out sexually? --Is there such a thing as a chaste same-sex romantic relationship?

This sermon is part two of our series titled Controversial Christianity. The purpose of the series is not to provoke, but to approach culturally charged topics with compassion, clarity, and conviction, rooted in Christ's example and the authority of Scripture. Two foundational convictions of the church: God's Word speaks to all controversial topics. The church must model healthier conversations on divisive matters. The core theme of Tyler's message is how to hold to biblical truth while engaging with love, especially on issues of sexuality, gender, and identity. Seven Key Positions Anything less than compassion is not Christian. All Christians are sexually broken, regardless of orientation. Identity is rooted in Christ, not sexuality. Marriage includes gender difference, as designed in Genesis. Sex belongs inside lifelong male-female covenant. Bible consistently prohibits same-sex sexual acts. Global Christian consensus affirms the traditional view across cultures and centuries. Ultimately, Tyler's message calls for a church that is both unflinching in its doctrine and radically welcoming in its love, emphasizing that truth without love is damaging, and love without truth is misleading. The final appeal is to reflect Jesus's example: one of conviction without condemnation and love without compromise.

Send us a textWhat happens when a pastor of 20 years realizes he was never truly saved? Hal Selby's powerful testimony reveals the transformative journey from secret sin to authentic freedom that began with a startling revelation while preparing a sermon on Cain and Abel.For decades, Hal lived a double life - preaching from the pulpit while secretly struggling with same-sex attraction. Satan had convinced him that if anyone discovered his secret, he would lose everything - his wife, family, ministry, and calling. The weight of this deception created a cycle of acting out, self-hatred, and desperate pleas for forgiveness that never brought lasting peace.The turning point came when God showed Hal that despite his seminary degrees and successful ministry, he had never truly been born again. After his genuine conversion experience, Hal faced the terrifying prospect of telling his wife about his hidden struggles. Her response was nothing short of miraculous: "I forgive you and I'm not leaving." Though their journey wasn't easy, requiring counseling and tremendous emotional work, their marriage not only survived but eventually thrived.Today, Hal and Lisa lead Refuge461, a ministry offering help and hope to those impacted by homosexuality. Their work embodies the beautiful paradox of Christian redemption - that our greatest struggles can become our most powerful ministry opportunities when surrendered to God. As Hal explains, "I'm not trying to get free from homosexuality. When I got saved, Jesus freed me from the bondage of sin. I'm learning now to live in the freedom that is already mine in Christ."Whether you're battling secret sin, questioning the authenticity of your faith, or supporting someone who is, this episode offers three transformative truths: grace is God's unearned favor, forgiveness in Christ is total and complete, and true freedom means no longer being defined by your past. Ready to experience this freedom? It begins with bringing everything into the light.If you would like to be a guest and share your story, click this link: https://thepromoter.org/story/ Thanks for Listening, and subscribe to hear a new episode each week!

Hudson Byblow speaks about the Catholic Faith in engaging, personalized, and trauma-informed ways, formed by his own journey of coming home to the Catholic Church – the last place the world said he should ever look!

Byblow shares his personal journey of reconciling his same-sex attractions with his faith, emphasizing the importance of pursuing virtue and understanding chastity as a transformative process. They discuss the distinctions between chastity, celibacy, and abstinence, and the detrimental effects of resentment on personal growth.

For 16-year-old Chase Vu, it meant a profound transformation that upended everything he thought he knew about himself. Chase's journey begins at a gay-affirming church where he embraced both Christianity and homosexuality, believing the two could comfortably coexist. But when his mother and sister pointed him to 1 Corinthians 6:9-11, Chase faced a spiritual crossroads that would demand his full surrender. "I had to realize that if you always substitute your faith for your feelings, then you're only going to be a Christian when it's convenient for you," Chase shares with wisdom beyond his years.

Dr. J Show Episode 280. Are people really born gay? Is it true that no one ever changes? And what about those who feel same-sex desires but never act on them—what does healing look like for them? On this week's episode of The Dr. J Show, we sit down with AJ Benjamin—a faithful Catholic, husband, father, and counselor—who bravely opens up about his long struggle with same-sex attraction. Though he never acted out sexually, AJ describes the intense emotional and spiritual turmoil that once consumed him… and the radical transformation that followed when he surrendered it all to Christ.

During a conference, we once asked everyone how many people had same-sex attraction as some part of their history, either from childhood, the porn they watched or a relationship they pursued. Over half the people raised their hand.Today, 22% of Gen Z identify as LGBTQ. Even with this level of cultural prevalence, many Christians struggle with how they view people with same-sex attraction, and what should they say to them.On this podcast, we have Part 2 of our conversation with Niki Speed, and how God pursued her life to not only save and heal her, but to bless her. You'll be encouraged by her story as we bring her husband Paul into the conversation. Together, they paint a beautiful picture of how God took a hopeless, helpless, hot mess (Niki's words), and turned her into something only God could create - beautiful, whole and redeemed.Phil and PriscillaP.S. - Do you need help in your marriage?

In this episode Paul and Niki share a podcast they recorded with their good friends Phil and Priscilla Fretwell, founders of Savage Marriage Ministries. Niki was real and vulnerable as she shared transparently about how she not only embraced a lesbian lifestyle for 20 years, but also how she got there, and how God rescued her life.If you're seeking a renewed sense of faith in God, especially regarding what seems impossible, listen to Niki share her journey. Her story illustrates how God transformed her life from one that many believed could never recover into a ministry that helps others overcome the trauma and wounds of their past.

When we first heard Niki Speed's story, it was instrumental in helping us believe nothing was too big for God, including same-sex attraction and the trauma of our past. Today, we're so pleased to introduce Niki Speed, who is married to Paul Speed, the Founder of Whatever it Takes Ministries. We've served with them for many years at weekend intensives with Whatever it Takes Ministries, and Niki is real, raw and shares transparently about how she not only embraced a lesbian lifestyle for 20 years, but also how she got there, and how God rescued her life.So, if you need a fresh touch from God in believing Him for what seems to be impossible, listen to Niki (and Paul) as they share how God brought Niki from a life that most would think could never recover, to a ministry that's helping people overcome the trauma and wounds of their past.Phil and PriscillaP.S. - Do you need help in your marriage?

Scripture Notes - https://scripturenotes.com Sky Sorensen is concerned, as am I, that many in the church are preaching that the church will "change" marriage. That same-sex marriage WILL happen in the temple. This becomes very confusing to gay Latter-day Saints. Many grab onto this vision of "hope in change" over "hope in Christ." Sky experiences same-sex attraction. He prefers that description over "gay." He is happily married to a woman and has children with her Website- www.cwicmedia.com

This is a conversation most people aren't willing to have. But it's important, and if we're going to be intellectually honest, we need to be able to ask questions, dig in to the data, and find out what's really going on in the issues of our age. One of those issues is unwanted same-sex attraction. It's no secret that society at large is pushing a "degendering" experiment, and it started decades ago with gay-affirming practices. Instead of being able to help men who struggle with this - often due to trauma - states are even trying to BAN therapists from talking about it. This may be the most honest conversation on this topic you've ever heard, and you'll learn about other resources to study further, if necessary. Thanks to Dr. Joseph Nicolosi, Jr. for his work on this topic and his willingness to share the science and data behind this touchy topic. On this episode, we talk about: 0:00 Intro 1:04 The Nicolosi family's history helping men with unwanted same-sex attraction 7:51 Theories around same-sex attraction 12:34 Trauma and attraction development 15:38 Politics and ideology in the field of psychology 18:27 Is it possible (or even legal) for an adult male to get help if he wants to engage in a heterosexual, monogamous marriage? 20:07 Options for helping minors who struggle with unwanted same-sex attraction? 22:35 Can we still have conversations about conversion therapy? 27:47 What dads need to know about raising sons who want to have families 34:18 Can men who struggle with same-sex attraction have thriving heterosexual marriages that last? 40:26 What about exceptions? 41:55 Fathers who feel immense guilt if their son struggles with same-sex attraction 43:10 Major contributing factors to male same-sex attraction 45:31 The massive social experiment of "degendering" children (and what dads can do) Subscribe on Substack ➡️ https://jeremypryor.substack.com Follow Jeremy on Instagram and Twitter.

We are hearing more and more about young kids grappling with same-sex attraction. It's prevalent in the culture right now. Many kids today, many of them coming out of the government school system, see absolutely nothing wrong with transgenderism or same-sex attraction. And it's becoming an increasingly challenging subject for parents to navigate, given the fact that there are a lot of grownups in the room who are telling parents to affirm their child's every whim. Are you prepared to handle these conversations as they come up? Join me today for a practical conversation about this difficult topic.  SPONSOR: Thank you to TUVU for sponsoring our podcast today!
