Fr. Mike explains why it’s a bad idea to attribute homosexual behavior to being “born that way.” We discuss how identity politics damages public discourse and how true helpful conversation can only ever occur if we treat others, not as members of a group, but as unique individual human souls.
Kim Zember shares how she found freedom after leaving behind her homosexual lifestyle. For years Kim lived a lifestyle where she was joyful in the moment, but never in longevity. Even though she married a wonderful man, the marriage was just a cover up, because her same-sex attraction was still there. Eventually this led to their divorce, and she embraced a homosexual lifestyle. It wasn’t until one of her girlfriends cheated on her that she noticed the common denominator in her bad relationships was her. In 2014, she surrendered her life to Christ. She became hungry for more of God and let God tell her who she is. God transformed her life and she found freedom. Her practical yet powerful advice to fight disordered desires is simply, “Don’t just pull back and deny yourself. Pull back and run to the Lord.” God wants us to relinquish our pride and make us fully alive. “A new heart I will give you, and a new spirit I will put within you; and I will take out of your flesh the heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh” (Ezekiel 36:26).

Matt Fradd chats with Rine Favale about modern gender theory.
Talk with Jason Evert about how we as humans are not defined by our sexuality, and how Jason has had to change his talk over the years so the kids he speaks to can know that Chastity is a universal message for everyone, even for those with same sex attraction.
In this segment of the Matt Fradd show, I ask Dan what he thinks of Gay people. His answer, he says, is the same Mother Teresa gave…
Within the LGBTQ group, you have those who argue that gender is a sociological construct, that it isn’t fixed, but fluid. Then you have others who feel desperately trapped in a body that doesn’t match their perceived sense of gender. Of course, if a person is to transition from one gender to another, there must first be some agreement upon what they are transitioning from and to.
Addressing a controversial issue about whether God is the cause of homosexuality in people and whether loving someone of the same sex is a sin.
Should Christians try and change if they are same-sex attracted? How are Christians supposed to respond to laws supporting same-sex marriage and forcing Christians to participate in ceremonies against their will? Frank and Tim Stratton respond briefly to issues that require a longer conversation. Dr. Turek has written much more on this issue in 𝑪𝒐𝒓𝒓𝒆𝒄𝒕, 𝑵𝒐𝒕 𝑷𝒐𝒍𝒊𝒕𝒊𝒄𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒚 𝑪𝒐𝒓𝒓𝒆𝒄𝒕:
Am I unloving for not affirming same sex behavior?
You hear people saying Jesus never said anything about homosexuality. That’s actually not true. He did, but how so? What does the NT, and particularly Jesus, say about homosexual behavior, and sexual behavior in general?
Frank Turek answers a difficult question about how to dialogue with a family member who is in a gay relationship.
Frank gives some advice on what to say to gay friends that you want them to convert to Christianity.
We refuse to identify people with who they have sex. They may want to reduce their identity to this, but we don’t, and nor does God. Sinners? Yes. Broken? We all are. Redeemed? If we want to be.
