PsychoBible: Babbling about Psychology and Theology!

Here is my 8/20/23 presentation on suicide as part of Hopewell Community Church's (of Pottstown, PA) teaching series on "tough topics." My aim was to cover this issue from both a pastoral and psychological approach. I pray it equips and encourages you. #suicide #mentalhealthawareness #becauseyoumatter #pastoralcare #depression #anxiety #crisiscounseling #Christiancounseling #selfharm #addiction #suicidality #assessment If you or someone you know is in crisis, call the National Suicide Prevention and Crisis Lifeline at 800-273-TALK (8255) or dial 988. Go to 988lifeline.org. Music video links: I love using music to build empathy and release emotions. Here are couple songs that touch me regarding this topic.

Here's a "reflession" (reflection on a therapy session) on anxiety! I briefly explain anxiety as a threat reaction, how it differs from fear, and the steps to take: neuroception, self-regulation, preparing for likely threats, focusing on the present, and trusting God to give what you need when you need it. #Anxiety #ThreatReaction #Fear #ChristianCounseling #Psychology #SelfRegulation #Peace #emotionalstrength For more: Polyvagal Theory and Nicolosi's Self-State Model: https://youtu.be/jA9QuFlYd_c The IFTCC reflection and the self-state model: https://youtu.be/ZZdEK90rHnU Deliverance or Sustenance?

Some recent events serve as the perfect case study of the sexual identity crisis I've been warning about for years: the Unconditional Conference for parents of LGBTQ-identified children at Andy Stanley's Northpoint Community Church, and the mixed messaging from Pope Francis regarding homosexuality. Let's look at both so we can see why the church desperately needs an adequate anthropology and understanding of sexuality and guidance from the transformational approach. #LGBT #AndyStanley #UnconditionalConference #PopeFrancis #Homosexuality #SameSexUnions References (Note: clips from other videos are used for commentary and fall under Fair Use): Andy Stanley's post-conference sermon 10/1/23: https://youtu.be/JEPHnpos17A?si=cpg0C-gTN-fqV-nI Protestia's article on Stanley's 2019 pastors Q&A: https://protestia.com/2023/01/26/two-pastors-drop-major-bombshell-allegations-against-andy-stanley-after-attending-private-qa/ Protestia article on Northpoint's referring to "Christian Closet" counseling: https://protestia.com/2023/08/25/north-point-church-is-sending-children-to-all-lgbtq-therapists-we-profile-one-of-the-counselors/ Sean McDowell and Alan Shlemon's conference review: https://youtu.be/0x5FUG1kxvI?si=jtmD2hYApKOi_e4z Joe Dallas' response to the conference: https://youtu.be/WroDCPt8nwg?si=qA80w6FF2GMs62Dm Joe Dallas' videos on 3 Pro-Gay Trends in the Church - Part 1: https://youtu.be/aJ-s59cARro?si=8VpS5VRrzPZk-KDn Part 2 (Revisionism): https://youtu.be/St-PjmeCdRs?si=Y3MSopLk_HI8Pp17 Part 3 (Minimization): https://youtu.be/kvhAa9ADKoI?si=jyQ80skEhPPbogUO Part 4 (Identification): https://youtu.be/kvhAa9ADKoI?si=jyQ80skEhPPbogUO Melinda Patrick's Bridge Between Us Podcast episode 40: https://melindapatrick.org/2023/10/13/a-mothers-response-to-andy-stanley-eps-40/ Carl Trueman's article: https://www.firstthings.com/web-exclusives/2023/10/when-being-affirming-isnt-loving LifeSite News article on Pope Francis' response to the cardinals: https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/pope-francis-to-clergy-decide-for-yourself-whether-to-bless-homosexual-unions/ For more: ReStory Ministries' equipping videos: https://restory.teachable.com/p/restoried-equipping-videos Wisdom from Ex-Gay Veterans: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAyCJnSE2gfqorlLL_zcNJzu5COCpuEx2 What is love? https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAyCJnSE2gfo6642-4Mx3g1_QQmQgLrxa God's Vision for Sexuality: https://youtu.be/lq18UGGMbHs Sexual Identity Crisis Teaching: https://youtu.be/wrFvpVod19Q 5 Streams on LGBT: https://youtu.be/noCsp2e2O8w My Appeal to LGBT-Affirming Christians: https://youtu.be/aPiXJvGvyiU True Compassion: https://youtu.be/AxEBCBcPQNo Correcting Christopher Yuan on Ex-Gay Ministry: https://youtu.be/bN9i5lcyjSs Identity, Boundaries, and LGBT Tyranny: https://youtu.be/fLwwzhbK04M Using Natural Law for sexuality: https://youtu.be/VaVH7D7Ik5w HOCD and the problem of "sexual orientation": https://youtu.be/ZWqgapIDsNU The Josh Butler controversy: https://youtu.be/pLKqsPyaL-w Chapters: 4:22 Stakes of the sexuality crisis. 6:35 Stanley expose on Twitter. 9:03 Embracing the Journey. 13:35 Parent Connect and Christian Closet. 15:03 Presumption of pro-LGBT. 16:20 Al Mohler and Andy's sermon. 19:20 Disparagement of "biblical." 22:45 Plight of students with SSA. 30:55 No resources? 34:12 Going beyond the "Stop it!" approach (Bob Newhart video). 44:26 Andy's inadequate anthropology and sexuality. 47:25 Perspective from Melinda Patrick. 52:41 Joe Dallas on 3 Pro-Gay Trends in the church. 55:37 What is love? 58:36 Need to teach to love God's Law. 59:42 Toll on parents' marriage. 1:00:14 The false dilemma. 1:01:56 5 streams of approaches to LGBT. 1:07:09 Circles vs lines? 1:11:31 Contradictory response to unrepentant homosexuality. 1:15:30 Praxis precedes doctrine. 1:18:08 Wrong understanding of salvation and faith (allegiance) and Matthew Bates' books. 1:23:49 Theology of the Body as the key to sexuality crisis. 1:25:42 To my Catholic viewers. 1:26:43 Pope Francis' mixed messages. 1:28:48 Pope's allowance of same-sex union blessings. 1:32:41 Carl Trueman's article. 1:35:33 Summary. 1:36:12 Good resources.

I'm happy to present my interview with Guy Hammond, director of Strength in Weakness Ministries! Guy became a Christian and left homosexuality in 1987, and despite ongoing same-sex attraction has been living with faithfulness to God's standards.

Here's the sermon I preached at Hopewell Community Church 8/27/23: about how the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Truth and our Comforter. I explain how I rely on him in counseling and how he moves in our lives through conviction, confession, and comforting us with the truth of God's perfect love!

Back in March, Josh Butler published on The Gospel Coalition's website an excerpt from the first chapter of his forthcoming book, "Beautiful Union: How God's Vision for Sex Points Us to the Good, Unlocks the True, and (Sort of) Explains Everything." The article was a presentation to a Reformed Evangelical Protestant audience of Theology of the Body, showing how marriage and sex reveal mysteries about Christ and the Church. Well, the article sparked such a furor that it led to TGC pulling the article, issuing an apology, removing Butler as a fellow with their new Tim Keller Center for Cultural Apologetics, and Butler having to step down as lead pastor of his church. Brace yourself as I dive into what this controversy shows about the civil war within Evangelicalism, explaining (and rebutting) the extreme reactions his article got. #JoshButler #JoshuaRyanButler #BeautifulUnion #TGC #TheologyoftheBody #Evangelicalism #Complementarianism #Egalitarianism #Iconoclasm #Symbolism References and Links: Joshua Ryan Butler.

A viewer sent me a question about my previous video about same-sex attraction and obsessive-compulsive disorder, in which I mentioned that people can have both same-sex attraction and HOCD (Homosexuality OCD), also called SO OCD (Sexual Orientation OCD). The person was confused because all of the experts on HOCD define HOCD as being obsessed with the idea of "being gay" without actually being gay. This whole question brings up how problematic the very idea of "sexual orientation" is. Let's get into it! #HOCD #SSA #SOOCD #samesexattraction #sexualorientation #LGBT #homosexuality For more: My discussion with fellow therapist Michael Gasparro on the relationship between same-sex attraction and OCD: https://youtu.be/i6e8vjjGdTY My interview with therapist Robert Vazzo about fetishes: https://youtu.be/OnRY2Sw0wY0 Why I use general revelation and Natural Law to explain sexuality and do counseling: https://youtu.be/VaVH7D7Ik5w Understanding sexual attraction: https://youtu.be/5Ru8fiHthDk Understanding desire, sensuality, and lust: https://youtu.be/gIUqCUEmE8A Applying John Paul II's book Love & Responsibility to Homosexuality: https://youtu.be/Mu3oyW8bINE For an example of what I'm referring to when Christopher Yuan talks about homosexuality as being "how you are, not what you are," see https://youtu.be/3jOm9znpCaw at the 24:26 mark.

OK, time to explain why and how I use general revelation and Natural Law in my explanation of sexuality and psychotherapy. Certain Christians argue that the world is too fallen for people to perceive the truth. They argue that people can know the truth and change in their sexual feelings and behavior only if they become born-again believers. But I say that despite the Fall, God preserved the integrity of the created world enough, particularly our sexuality, so that it continues to fulfill its purpose as a sign to him and the Gospel. Therefore, I use the logic of the body and insights from general revelation to reason with non-Christians and counsel both Christians and non-Christians struggling with their sexuality. #NaturalLaw #GeneralRevelation #SSA #homosexuality #genderidentity #TheologyoftheBody #BiblicalSexuality #sexualintegrity For more: My Christian Post op-ed appealing to LGBTQ-affirming Christians: https://www.christianpost.com/voices/a-christian-psychotherapists-appeal-to-lgbt-affirming-christian.html My 2nd Christian Post op-ed using Natural Law as part of the foundation for the truth of our sexuality needed for compassion: https://www.christianpost.com/voices/true-compassion-starts-with-truth.html True Compassion to LGBT Strugglers: https://youtu.be/AxEBCBcPQNo The 5 Streams of views in the church on sexuality and the types of counseling in them: https://youtu.be/noCsp2e2O8w What Happens in Reintegrative Therapy: https://youtu.be/4gz8NJKML9w Restore, Revive, Rebuild: sermon addressing the dualism in society and the church: https://youtu.be/hs6ict6TWXU Restoring Our Vision for Sexuality: https://youtu.be/lq18UGGMbHs How John Paul II's philosophical examination of love and sexual desire applies to homosexuality: https://youtu.be/Mu3oyW8bINE How God awakens us to the beauty of his creation: https://youtu.be/zQUXCJ7idcU Gender and Sexuality through a Theology of the Body Lens: https://youtu.be/kVXaIxRYSiU How Theology of the Body supports transformational ex-LGBT ministry and therapy: https://youtu.be/c6Qj_w6d_E8 The case for offering transformational ex-gay ministry: https://youtu.be/59M7bTUWhNw Timestamps: 01:44 Biblical sexuality is universal. 02:05 The 3 Words of God. 04:26 Natural Law. 05:56 My Thesis. 09:18 Why sexuality is under attack. 10:05 Christians giving up the argument. 12:07 Echoes of beauty. 13:09 The premodern, integrated worldview. 13:55 Righteousness. 14:15 Ontology and teleology. 14:59 The problem of Total Depravity and biblicism. 16:32 The Scriptural case in Acts for knowledge. 18:42 Jesus' case for evil people doing good. 19:06 Mental disorder vs sin debate. 21:27 Can people change if they're unsaved? 23:58 Heterosexuality as a developmental achievement. 26:44 Cultural reinforcement of biblical sexuality. 27:43 How healing of nonbelievers does good.

Here's my presentation at the inaugural conference of the Transformation Ministries Alliance June 22-24, 2023. I review the 5 streams of views in the church regarding homosexuality and gender identity: Condemnation, Affirmation/Side A/Revel, Accommodation/Side B/Resist, Mortification/Side Y/Renounce, and Transformation/Side X/Rebuild. I describe the types of counseling unique to each stream, and I argue for why Transformation is the best, and how Reintegrative Therapy serves as a helpful tool in Transformation and how it can be applied to clients coming from any of the streams! #TransformationMinistriesAlliance #TMA #sexuality #ReintegrativeTherapy #LGBT #SideAGayChristianity #SideBGayChristianity #exLGBT #exgay #SAFETherapy #Revoice References: Nicolosi Jr, J.

As a follow-up to last video and my op-ed in The Christian Post, let's discuss what true compassion is. The world has a misguided view of compassion, thinking it's to deny reality in order to make people feel better. A true, biblical understanding of compassion requires more of us. Although I'm addressing this in light of LGBTQ, we can apply what I teach in this video to a wide range of social issues promoted by social justice activists. #Compassion #SocialJustice #LGBT #GayChristianity #PCAuthoritarianism #JordanPeterson #JamesLindsay #TherapyEquality #ClientRights My op-ed with The Christian Post, "A Christian Psychotherapist's Appeal to LGBT-Affirming Christians": https://www.christianpost.com/voices/a-christian-psychotherapists-appeal-to-lgbt-affirming-christian.html My video of my editorial: https://youtu.be/aPiXJvGvyiU For more: My playlist addressing "Conversion Therapy" Myths and Misunderstandings: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAyCJnSE2gfpxzyiKNAfm4nsoQa-3D1nq 4 Different Views in the Church on Homosexuality: https://youtu.be/SDGkLPWBKbo Christian Critics of Ex-Gay Ministry: Part 1 - Renounce Column: https://youtu.be/hdac4O06Q4c Part 2 - Resist/Side B Column: https://youtu.be/QKdc6gugPuM Part 3 - Why Are There Christian Critics? https://youtu.be/E-TkLkwq1HM Part 4 - The Case for Transformational Ex-Gay Ministry: https://youtu.be/59M7bTUWhNw My playlist on What Is Love?: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAyCJnSE2gfo6642-4Mx3g1_QQmQgLrxa My playlist of Wisdom from Ex-Gay Veterans: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAyCJnSE2gfqorlLL_zcNJzu5COCpuEx2 Thank you for watching!

Ever since Matthew Grech shared his testimony of salvation and repenting of homosexuality on X Factor Malta in 2018, he's been the center of controversy. That hasn't stopped him from being bold and sharing his story and advocating for ex-LGBT rights. But with Malta's "conversion practices" ban, simply sharing his testimony is considered promoting "conversion therapy." This puts all Christians on the line. His next court appearance is tomorrow, June 9th, 2023. Please pray for him! #MatthewGrech #XOutLoud #Changed #ConversionPractices #Malta #therapyequality #therapeuticchoice #exgay To financially contribute to Matthew's cause: https://www.lifefunder.com/defendmatthew For more on this: Times Malta article on Malta's initial "gay conversion therapy" ban in 2016: https://timesofmalta.com/articles/view/gay-conversion-therapy-is-now-illegal.633014 LovinMalta's gay-biased article on his X Factor controversy: https://lovinmalta.com/opinion/x-factor-contestants-audition-pulled-from-facebook-and-youtube-after-gay-conversion-backlash/ Times Malta article on the amendment to increase the ban: https://timesofmalta.com/articles/view/law-banning-gay-conversion-therapy-strengthened.1006708 Christian Concern's article on Matthew's current case: https://christianconcern.com/news/christian-charity-worker-prosecuted-for-conversion-therapy/?fbclid=IwAR2JT3GbFFr341NljjIYUaJ1PHzFLoa4kcCyZfGbmAyKVuFi2MZRP8UBzSo Daren Mehl and me (from Voice of the Voiceless) presenting on "conversion therapy myths" at the ACHHS 2021 conference (we mention Matthew's case): https://youtu.be/P4pRzdoq2h8 Becket Cook's interview with Matthew Grech: https://youtu.be/sZaxW4kVP3I Thank you for watching!

I want to make an appeal to those Christians who are sympathetic to those who identify somewhere in the LGBTQ+ conglomeration, even those who adhere to the doctrine that marriage is only between a man and a woman, yet they view LGBTQ-identified individuals as some sort of marginalized group deserving compassion. As a trauma-informed psychotherapist, I hope you consider my words. #LGBTQ #Pride #Trauma #samesexattraction #sexualdevelopment #Revoice #gayChristianity #compassion My Christian Post Voices op-ed published 6/15/23: https://www.christianpost.com/voices/a-christian-psychotherapists-appeal-to-lgbt-affirming-christian.html For more on this subject: What happens in Reintegrative Therapy: https://youtu.be/4gz8NJKML9w Polyvagal Theory (and trauma theory) supports Reintegrative Therapy: https://youtu.be/jA9QuFlYd_c My sermon on human identity and integrity: https://youtu.be/hs6ict6TWXU My sermon on God's vision for our sexuality: https://youtu.be/lq18UGGMbHs Me speaking at University of Valley Forge on Gender and Sexuality: https://youtu.be/NFw3jHsL3vw Sexual Wholeness in a Sexually Broken World: https://youtu.be/7g8Sk_3W_sQ Gender and Sexuality through a Theology of the Body Lens: https://youtu.be/kVXaIxRYSiU Theology of the Body supports Transformational Ministry and Change-Allowing Therapy: https://youtu.be/c6Qj_w6d_E8 Responding to Gregory Coles' criticism of Reintegrative Therapy: https://youtu.be/iGkS9Eaf2Ok Thank you for watching!

I'm so happy to present this conversation! Andrew Comiskey is one of the early pioneers of the ex-gay ministry movement, founding Desert Stream Ministries, developing the Living Waters program (for any sexual struggler, not just those with SSA), and writing numerous books. I include Marco Casanova, as he is helping lead the ministry into the future. We all recently served together at a Living Waters training in conjunction with the Theology of the Body Institute in my old hometown of Quarryville, PA, so we reflect and joke about that experience.

I’m happy to present this interview with Robert Duncan Heinly from Journey of Hope Ministries of Brevard. We discuss Duncan’s own story of growing up in trauma and suppressing his unwanted same-sex attractions to the point of misery until he surrendered his struggle to God, and even then, enduring several wounds in ministry. We touch on some important topics, particularly spiritual/church abuse, including the collapses of Exodus and Hope for Wholeness. #JourneyofHopeBrevard #Exodus #HopeforWholeness #RHN #TMA #spiritualabuse #churchhurt #unwantedSSA #JesusMovement #homosexuality #ExGayVeterans More about Duncan and Journey of Hope: Webpage: https://www.cbcmelbourne.org/journey-of-hope/ Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/journeyofhopeministry/ The upcoming Transformation Ministries Alliance conference June 22-24: https://tmacorp.org/events/ Other parts of this series: Prologue to this series: https://youtu.be/jomWkn0kkvA Joe Dallas interview: https://youtu.be/c5ks84kJz6U Wynn Thompson interview: https://youtu.be/4Wdx8LkxBn8 Michael Newman interview: https://youtu.be/wVO8EDlKhiE Garry Ingraham interview: https://youtu.be/2LtVqgsu7a0 Stephen Black: https://youtu.be/lq18UGGMbHs Andrew Comiskey: https://youtu.be/xeLuFQNumv0 For more on topics addressed: Discussing fallen ex-gay leaders (like McKrae Game) with Stephen Black: https://youtu.be/NsxlEpRmlDo Abuse in the Church: Diane Langberg’s Redeeming Power Conference: https://youtu.be/ZpNi2NPkKpU Finding Meaning in Suffering: https://youtu.be/cDm9BGU7pqE Reflections on Loss and Mental Health Awareness: https://youtu.be/UZCjOXr9gwA Facing the Darkness with Faith: https://youtu.be/fFwz-hgjzHs Deliverance or Sustenance (understanding change): https://youtu.be/E61Cc8TcaUE My Sy Rogers story: https://youtu.be/5DCHkgIzRCA Restored Hope Network Conference 2022 Reflection: https://youtu.be/MSlK9_vmYfQ What You Behold You Become (reflection on worship): https://youtu.be/Dc9LsUh2xps Worship and Transformation: https://youtu.be/KnFzKMDXfY4 COVID shutdowns and church attendance: https://youtu.be/zDPilB0xnsE Timestamps: 00:00:47 – Duncan’s childhood. 00:05:10 – Jesus Movement during teens. 00:07:40 – SSA struggles. 00:11:31 – Finding help at church. 00:13:55 – Prayer group revival. 00:15:10 – Suppressing SSA, trying to fix it in his flesh. 00:18:06 – Emotional breakdown, surrendering to God. 00:22:02 – New resources and others’ testimonies. 00:24:50 – Soar with Him Ministries and Exodus. 00:27:46 – Exodus Intl. shutting down, discouragement. 00:32:12 – Starting Journey of Hope. 00:33:40 – Hope for Wholeness and McKrae Game. 00:37:22 – Church abuse. 00:40:28 – COVID impacting ministry. 00:43:41 – Hope through hurts and letdowns. 00:46:01 – Church responses to sexual struggles (addressing “the demon of homosexuality”). 00:49:43 – Positive confession/Word of Faith heresy (his Facebook post). 00:57:27 – What can regular people do to help sexual strugglers? 01:00:25 – Imparting to others what you’ve received (my observations). 01:02:22 – Responses from others when opening up. 01:05:39 – Reflections on Sy Rogers. 01:07:03 – Importance of worship in healing. 01:11:18 – How to connect with Journey of Hope. 01:12:56 – The coming LGBT revival.

On 4/30/23, I had the honor of giving a very important sermon at church about God's beautiful plan for our sexuality and marriage! A church survey showed that the congregation wanted to understand the gender issue, so my pastor requested I address that, but I figured it would be even more important to start with establishing a foundation. God designed our bodies, particularly in the sexual difference and the call for man and woman to become one flesh in marriage, to reveal mysteries about God! #BiblicalSexuality #Gender #Marriage #Sexuality #PurposeofSex #TheologyoftheBody #HopewellCommunityChurch My previous message at Hopewell (this latest message is sequel): https://youtu.be/hs6ict6TWXU NOTE: clips from other videos are used for commentary and fall under Fair Use: The Chosen scene with the Samaritan woman at the well: https://youtu.be/ordhsDeAt60 Desert Stream Ministries Living Waters promo video: https://vimeo.com/297776241 Videos by those who've taught me: Christopher West at the Restored Hope Network 2015 Conference on TOB and Eros: https://youtu.be/f0mX8cyrCQY Linda Seiler at RHN 2016 Conference on Why Gender Matters: https://youtu.be/yuOAwxMSwc0 Larry Crabb on Godly Masculinity and Femininity (and the core terrors of men and women): https://youtu.be/I3Kl8axpPWM More videos by me to go deeper into the topics in my sermon: My reflection on meeting Christopher West and what I've learned from TOB: https://youtu.be/zYuWX-Plwp8 God's Marital Passion through a TOB Lens: https://youtu.be/wDdBl4DgipM Gender and Sexuality through a TOB Lens: https://youtu.be/kVXaIxRYSiU Lust, Porn, & Fap through a TOB Lens: https://youtu.be/uRmrEzNIdec Progressive and LGBT Christianity through a TOB Lens: https://youtu.be/Z7hyNp6Da4w Feminism and the Gender War through a TOB Lens: https://youtu.be/CeVRz6Gi5iI Beauty and Body Shame through a TOB Lens: https://youtu.be/uKdb-vzAlcs Transgenderism through a TOB Lens: https://youtu.be/swAGgid1DC8 Me speaking at University of Valley Forge on Gender and Sexuality: https://youtu.be/NFw3jHsL3vw Sexual Wholeness in a Sexually Broken World: https://youtu.be/7g8Sk_3W_sQ The Jesus Revolution and Sexual Revival: https://youtu.be/jomWkn0kkvA Timestamps: 00:03:22 - My story of planning an event at college. 00:07:05 - Why is this so scandalous? 00:10:12 - The split worldview and sin. 00:13:32 - Ephesians 5. 00:14:49 - The Great Mystery. 00:15:52 - Theology of the Body. 00:18:20 - JPII's Thesis Statement. 00:19:34 - Back to Genesis. 00:21:08 - The Image of God. 00:25:08 - Gendered Gifts. 00:27:44 - Man images God's masculinity. 00:34:05 - Woman images God's femininity. 00:38:51 - Summary of the Imago Dei. 00:40:13 - Design reveals destiny. 00:45:30 - God's marital love. 00:49:02 - Sexual morality. 00:51:41 - The Spousal Analogy and the Samaritan Woman. 01:01:23 - Augustine quote. 01:01:42 - Evangelism by desire. 01:04:13 - Be the Body of Christ (finishing my story). 01:06:31 - Starting Living Waters/CrossCurrent at church. 01:14:08 - How the service ended.

I'm excited to present this conversation with Stephen Black, director of First Stone Ministries! First Stone was one of the original ministries that formed Exodus International, and Stephen was instrumental in calling out the waywardness of the last Exodus leaders and helping start Restored Hope Network. He boldly speaks out about his own freedom and the dangers of trending teachings in the church. #StephenBlack #FirstStoneMinistries #ExGayVeterans #jesusmovement #Exodus #RestoredHopeNetwork #changed #exLGBT For more about Stephen and First Stone Ministries: Stephen's YouTube channel (livestreaming every Friday morning): https://www.youtube.com/@UCCmzH3yoL40wP6O6vSddFJQ First Stone Ministries in Oklahoma City, OK: https://www.firststone.org/ Stephen H.

In this installment of my series of interviews with seasoned ex-gay veterans, I chat with Michael Newman from Christian Coalition for Reconciliation about the persistent need for churches to stand for truth and offer genuine help to sexuality strugglers. This conversation will be especially relevant to those reacting to the news of another person falling back into the sins of homosexuality or transgender identification. I pray you are encouraged by the wisdom shared in this video. And be sure to check out Michael's ministry, especially if you're seeking Spanish-speaking resources. #MichaelNewman #ExGayVeterans #CCR #RHN #Exodus #Changed #homosexuality #samesexattraction #exLGBT To contact Michael Newman's ministry: https://www.ccrhouston.org/ Email: ccrhoutx@att.net Call 281-507-9019 Se habla español.

I'm kicking off my series of interviews with seasoned ex-gay veterans with one of my heroes, Joe Dallas! (Recorded 1/4/23.) Joe is a very well-known counselor, author, and past-president of Exodus International, the former network of ministries for sexuality strugglers. We also both serve in ReStory Ministries, which resources the church to address LGBT issues and minister to sexuality strugglers. In this interview, we dive into his personal story of salvation, ministry, backsliding into gay activism, then back to orthodoxy, and being called to counsel others leaving homosexuality. He dispels myths about Exodus and ex-gay ministry, and shares his heart for the future. #JoeDallas #Exodus #exgay #Changed #ExGayVeterans #exLGBT #unwantedSSA #homosexuality Prologue to this series: https://youtu.be/jomWkn0kkvA Timestamps: 00:02:04 - Joe's story. 00:07:23 - Home environment. 00:09:31 - Sexual Revolution environment. 00:11:43 - Sexuality development. 00:15:49 - Gay rights activism. 00:19:58 - Pro-gay church involvement. 00:23:56 - Coming to repentance. 00:32:15 - Back to church family. 00:39:44 - Putting gifting before growth. 00:44:18 - God calling into ex-gay ministry. 00:47:23 - Involvement in Exodus International. 00:50:49 - What was Exodus actually like? 00:54:36 - Myths about Exodus and ex-gay ministry. 01:01:37 - Legacy of your work. 01:05:30 - My final thoughts.
