I'm raising the alarm to HR 8404, the so-called "Respect for Marriage Act", which would put into actual federal law "gay marriage" rather than rely solely on the Obergefell v. Hodges 2015 Supreme Court decision. Democrats and RINOs are fast-tracking this bill, with it being introduced July 18th, 2022, and passing in just a few days. Now it's off to the Senate to be voted on without any committees! This can happen any day now, so please contact your legislators and remind them what true conservatism is! We need the religious moral conscience to steer politics once again. #HR8404 #RespectforMarriageAct #gaymarriage #naturalmarriage #naturallaw #conservatism #Obergefell #DOMA References: The HR 8404 bill: https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/house-bill/8404 American Family Association article: https://www.afa.net/activism/action-alerts/2022/biden-and-pelosi-coming-after-christian-schools-and-nonprofits-call-your-u-s-senator/ Katy Faust & Stacy Manning.

Here's my sermon at Hopewell Community Church in Pottstown, PA, on July 10th, 2022! I show how the war between modernism and postmodernism is all part of Satan's attack against your integrity and identity as a human destined for eternal communion with God. But where the enemy comes to steal, kill, and destroy us, Jesus comes to bless us with life to the full by restoring, reviving, and rebuilding us!

Here's my 2nd of two interviews with my friend and colleague, Daren Mehl, the president of Voice of the Voiceless (of which I am a board member), whose mission is to lift up the voices of ex-LGBT and honor Jesus Christ. And he's a minister with Agape First Ministries, which equips and supports the church and loved ones of sexuality strugglers, and disciples strugglers themselves. In this interview, we discuss the history of VoV and the work VoV has done, is currently doing, and his vision for the future. In particular, we discuss Daren's involvement in a lawsuit against President Biden and the legislators behind HR5, the so-called "Equality Act," showing how the bill would undermine the fabric of society and the church. #DarenMehl #voiceofthevoiceless #equalityact #HR5 #AgapeFirst #changed #exlgbt #exgay #LGBTactivism Interview 1, Daren's testimony: https://youtu.be/54uLULBXyqk More about Daren (and topics discussed): To financially support Daren's work, go to his ministry page at Agape First: https://www.agapefirstministries.org/darenmehl To read more about Daren's story: https://darenmehlblog.com/ Check out the resources offered by Voice of the Voiceless: https://www.voiceofthevoiceless.info/ The presentation Daren and I did at the 2021 Association of Christians in Health & Human Services conference addressing the myths about "conversion therapy": https://youtu.be/P4pRzdoq2h8 The National Task Force for Therapy Equality: http://www.therapyequality.org/ My video about HR5, the so-called "Equality Act": https://youtu.be/9KDyyMPxSD8 Thank you for watching!

Daren Mehl is the president of Voice of the Voiceless, whose mission is to lift up the voices of ex-LGBT and honor Jesus Christ. And he's a minister with Agape First Ministries, which equips and supports the church and loved ones of sexuality strugglers, and disciples strugglers themselves. Daren does a lot of good in raising awareness about the attacks coming against the church from the without and within, showing how LGBT activism is threatening the advancement of the Gospel. I'm happy to say that I am on the board of Voice of the Voiceless. In this first interview, Daren shares his testimony of accepting salvation through Christ and his journey of sexual healing and integration. #DarenMehl #voiceofthevoiceless #AgapeFirst #changed #exlgbt #exgay More about Daren: To financially support Daren's work, go to his ministry page at Agape First: https://www.agapefirstministries.org/darenmehl To read more about Daren's story: https://darenmehlblog.com/ Check out the resources offered by Voice of the Voiceless: https://www.voiceofthevoiceless.info/ The presentation Daren and I did at the 2021 Association of Christians in Health & Human Services conference addressing the myths about "conversion therapy": https://youtu.be/P4pRzdoq2h8 Thank you for watching!

After giving my review of the Restored Hope Network Hope 2022 conference, I return to reflecting on the recent Theology of the Body Institute's "Revealed" conference by tying both conferences together to argue that a true understanding of Theology of the Body leads to promotion of transformational ex-gay ministry and counseling. There are increasingly popular voices in Christianity, particularly in Big Evangelicalism, that will agree with the symbolism in TOB, but they remain silent, apprehensive, or downright opposed to ministry or counseling to overcome unwanted same-sex attraction or gender identity confusion. These Christian thought leaders are missing how TOB is all about sexual and gender integration. They preach holiness without the healing, but you cannot have one without the other. #TheologyoftheBody #Revealed2022 #Hope2022 #RestoredHopeNetwork #sexualintegration #ReintegrativeTherapy #exgay #exlgbt #transformation #JackieandBobbyAngel #HowTOBHealsUs References: TOB Revealed Reflection 1: How Creation Woos Us to God: https://youtu.be/zQUXCJ7idcU TOB Revealed Reflection 2: Finding Meaning in Suffering: https://youtu.be/cDm9BGU7pqE Restored Hope Network Conference review: https://youtu.be/MSlK9_vmYfQ Bessel van der Kolk.

In the midst of tragedy, affliction, suffering, illness, and grief, how do we find meaning? I offer a reflection on Father Mike Schmitz's talk at the Theology of the Body Institute's 2022 Conference "Revealed" titled "The Body that Suffers." I pull in some additional insights from Jonathan Pageau and Jordan Peterson to discuss how struggle is necessary for the salvation of the world, and we have the honor of participating in it. #theologyofthebody #TOB #Revealed2022 #FrMikeSchmitz #suffering More Reflections on the "Revealed" Conference: How Creation Woos Us to God: https://youtu.be/zQUXCJ7idcU For more on this topic: Reflections on Loss and Mental Health Awareness Month: https://youtu.be/UZCjOXr9gwA Nihilism and Suffering through a Theology of the Body Lens: https://youtu.be/QgE1IONd-O4 (addresses antinatalism, suicide, abortion) Deliverance or Sustenance?: https://youtu.be/E61Cc8TcaUE Thank you for watching!

What is it in this life that gets you fired up, that awakens your hunger for more . . . for the infinite?

This weekend, April 29 & 30, 2022, my church, Hopewell Community Church, hosted The Jesus Generation Conference. I had no idea what to expect, but I'm so glad I went! It was rejuvenating and empowering! It was such a timely reminder to abide in intimacy with Christ so we can experientially know our true identities, then naturally share the love of Jesus with those around us. I especially loved how so much of it connected with themes I've been studying over the past several years: Theology of the Body, Orthodox Christianity's doctrine of theosis, honor-shame culture dynamics, and even attachment theory in psychology. Check out my review to see how I made all those connections! #TheJesusGeneration #IntimacywithGod #IdentityinChrist #Evangelism #SpiritLed #TheologyoftheBody #HonorShame Look into The Jesus Generation and having them (Drew and Adam McCloskey and their crew) train your church: https://thejesusgeneration.org/ For more: Christopher West on Theology of the Body, Eros, and the New Evangelization: https://youtu.be/f0mX8cyrCQY My Honor-Shame playlist: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAyCJnSE2gfrDqx13fRvknSjyyl3nfvyZ My video on Identity, Boundaries, and Tyranny: https://youtu.be/fLwwzhbK04M Thank you for watching!

Authors and teachers Christopher Yuan and Rosaria Butterfield have appeared in some recent interviews (on Alisa Childers' and Becket Cook's shows) to warn about the theology of the Revoice Conference. But while they're at it, they consistently throw Exodus International (and the former member ministries) under the bus. As a Reintegrative Therapist and someone who used to work in a former Exodus member ministry, I have a strong reaction to the baseless attacks they levy against us, going so far as to accuse us of pulling people away from Jesus! To aid in my response, I use clips from Joe Dallas' video on the history of Exodus, as well as a clip from Sy Rogers speaking at a conference. #ChristopherYuan #RosariaButterfield #AlisaChilders #BecketCook #JoeDallas #Exodus #SyRogers #ExGayMinistry #SOCE #SAFETherapy #SexualAttractionFluidity References (NOTE: clips from other videos are for commentary and fall under Fair Use): Alisa Childers interview with Christopher Yuan about Revoice and Side B Christianity: https://youtu.be/EQF68WF-hWo Becket Cook interview with Rosaria Butterfield and Christopher Yuan: https://youtu.be/cLtJTgzSyS4 Joe Dallas video on "What I've Always Wanted to Say about Ex-Gay Ministry": https://youtu.be/uTOg5hbe8fo Sy Rogers on Finding God's Healing for Sexual Brokenness: https://youtu.be/49BQNGEcgwA Comiskey, Andrew.

One trend I cannot stand is churches bending over backward to make the church more appealing to non-believers. When you're entirely inclusive, you destroy your identity and risk tyranny. In this video, I'm using clips from Premier Christian Radio's Unbelievable? (with host Justin Brierly and guests Preston Ulmer, Gaia McDermott, Paul VanderKlay, James Croft, Jayne Ozanne, and Peter Lynas) and of Jonathan Pageau (with Jordan Peterson, Benjamin Boyce, and James Lindsay) to explain the phenomenon of progressives and deconstructionists trying to reshape and redefine the Church (and society) by exalting inclusivity. I bring in Henry Cloud and John Townsend to explain the necessity of boundaries and the dynamics of certain boundary problem-types. #PremierChristianRadio #Unbelievable #JonathanPageau #Deconstruction #Inclusivity #Identity #Boundaries #Woke #PCAuthoritarianism #Tyranny #ProgressiveChristianity References: Henry Cloud & John Townsend.

Here's my review of the Reality Student Apologetics Conference by Stand to Reason, which I attended this past weekend, March 25th and 26th, 2022, at Calvary Fellowship in Downingtown, PA. We heard from some great apologists and other ministers, like Tim Barnett (AKA Mr. B from #RedPenLogic), Alan Shlemon, John Noyes, Monique Duson (from the Center for Biblical Unity), Greg Koukl, Megan Almon, Becket Cook, J. Warner Wallace, Tripp Almon, Robby Lashua, and Amy Hall. And the topics covered not only God's existence, creation, the resurrection, and the problem of evil, but tough issues that kids are facing, like racism and Critical Race Theory, abortion, homosexuality, and suicide! I was impressed with how it felt like an exciting youth rally (complete with illusionist and MC, Drew Worsham) that taught Christian doctrine in a straightforward, unashamed manner. In this video, I give my rundown of highlights, and then offer some constructive critique. #RealityStudentApologetics #StandtoReason #STR #apologetics #Christianity #CRT #CriticalRaceTheory #abortion #homosexuality #TheologyoftheBody #HonorShame For more videos on some topics I mentioned: Racism and Theology of the Body: https://youtu.be/ulc-zNynkFA Abortion and Theology of the Body: https://youtu.be/QgE1IONd-O4 Gender and Sexuality and Theology of the Body: https://youtu.be/kVXaIxRYSiU Progressivism and LGBT and Theology of the Body: https://youtu.be/Z7hyNp6Da4w My first interview with Theology Mom Krista Bontrager on different views in the church on homosexuality: https://youtu.be/EiwR8o1iPfM Part 1 of my response to Christian critics of ex-gay ministry: https://youtu.be/hdac4O06Q4c Honor and Shame 101: https://youtu.be/r89-QVkq8_8 A Gospel Presentation through Honor-Shame: https://youtu.be/DLQmgPT-xOU The Gospel of Honor sermon: https://youtu.be/dUKxMhYCli4 LGBT and Honor-Shame: https://youtu.be/Y-7yEMN6vVw Thank you for watching!

In our post-Christian world, people increasingly do not understand or tolerate Christians who choose to surrender their whole lives to Christ. If they do not indulge or express every feeling they have, the world views them as repressed, oppressed, and inauthentic. Case in point: how the world views Christians with unwanted same-sex attraction who reject an LGBT identity but instead commit to chastity and transformation. The world scoffs or vehemently tries to block their efforts. But . . . if you can understand The Mandalorian from Star Wars, you can understand true Christian conviction. #Mandalorian #StarWars #Christianity #Symbolism #SymbolicInterpretation #Integrity Thank you for watching!

Opponents to professional therapy for unwanted same-sex attraction (what they mislabel "conversion therapy") love to claim that it's harmful. Well, first, compared to what? Therapy in general has a risk of harm (or no benefit), so we must determine if it's just as harmful as or worse than therapy for other issues like depression. Here's an important segment from my interview with Carolyn Pela and Joseph Nicolosi, Jr, about the Pela and Sutton (2021) longitudinal study of 75 men who used Nicolosi's Reintegrative Therapy to explore sexual attraction fluidity. This is the first (and so far, only) study designed to empirically answer if professional therapy for SSA is harmful or effective since it was prospective and used standardized and reliable measurement tools. #ReintegrativeTherapy #SAFETherapy #SOCE #Misinformation #TherapeuticChoice #Nicolosi #PelaSutton #FollowtheScience #HarmMyth #BanConversionTherapy Full video: https://youtu.be/y27zkkh3mgc Reference for Dr. Pela’s study and how to access it: Pela, Carolyn, & Sutton, Phil.

Here is my interview with AJ Benjamin, author of the book, "When the Son Frees You: A Catholic Man's Journey of Healing from Same-Sex Attraction." We discuss the terminology around sexual orientation, his story of struggle and healing, and Theology of the Body. Enjoy! #AJBenjamin #TheSilentKnight #Changed #SameSexAttraction #TheologyoftheBody #TOB Reference: Benjamin, AJ. (2020). When the Son Frees You: A Catholic Man's Journey of Healing from Same-Sex Attraction. Charlotte, NC: TAN. AJ's website and blog: thesilentknight.net Note for my fellow Protestant Christians: AJ candidly mentions the aid of Mary, Jesus' mother, in his healing process as the link who better connected him with Jesus. This is a significant aspect of his story. I understand that this may go against the sensibilities of most Protestants, but I hope you will listen with a heart to understand his perspective.

In honor of Valentine's Day this week, I present some revelations about God that Theology of the Body has provided. With the lens of the spousal analogy that is throughout Scripture (and understanding of Jewish marriage customs), some mysteries about Jesus' singleness on earth, his second coming, and his passion all make more sense. #TheologyoftheBody #TOB #SpousalAnalogy #JewishMarriageCustoms #JewishBetrothal For more on Theology of the Body: Christopher West giving an overview of the teaching at Restored Hope Network Conference 2015: https://youtu.be/f0mX8cyrCQY David Kyle Foster talking about the Divine Marriage: https://youtu.be/OAK-peGYghQ For reference and further study on Jewish wedding customs: Chabad.org article on the Jewish betrothal: https://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/465163/jewish/The-Jewish-Betrothal-Kiddushin.htm Holy Language Institute video on the Mishna's bridal preparation insights: https://youtu.be/UzoHyeka-7s Video by the Betrothal Guys on Betrothal and Marriage in the Time of the Bible: https://youtu.be/C6KXxHe_dnQ Olive Branch Fellowship teaching on the Ancient Hebrew Wedding Model: https://youtu.be/LpIouLY5ZbY Thank you for watching!

Here are segments from my interview with Dr. Joseph Nicolosi, Jr. and Dr. Carolyn Pela that show how Big Tech and the American Psychological Association (APA) and the rest of the psychological community acquiesce to the demands of the LGBT agenda. For years, activists have repeated the mantra that therapy for exploring sexual attraction change is harmful and ineffective without authoritative research to prove these claims. The APA has done its best to discourage such research. And now that Dr. Pela has done definitive research that goes against the narrative, they're getting Big Tech to censor it. #ReintegrativeTherapy #SAFETherapy #SOCE #Misinformation #TherapeuticChoice #Nicolosi #PelaSutton #FollowtheScience Full video: https://youtu.be/y27zkkh3mgc Reference for Dr. Pela’s study and how to access it: Pela, Carolyn, & Sutton, Phil.

What on earth is so-called "conversion therapy"? What about practices like SOCE (sexual orientation change efforts), SAFE-T (sexual attraction fluidity exploration in therapy), Reparative Therapy, and Reintegrative Therapy? We need to correctly define our terms. Here's a short clip from my interview with Dr. Joseph Nicolosi, Jr, and Dr. Carolyn Pela, discussing research on the safety and effectiveness of Reintegrative Therapy for exploring sexual attraction fluidity. #ReintegrativeTherapy #SAFETherapy #SOCE #Misinformation #TherapeuticChoice #Nicolosi #PelaSutton #ConversionTherapyBan Full video: https://youtu.be/y27zkkh3mgc Reference for Dr. Pela’s study and how to access it: Pela, Carolyn, & Sutton, Phil.

If you watch just one video of mine, make it this one! This is my first time conducting an interview for my channel, and I’m thrilled that it is with Joseph Nicolosi, Jr, and Carolyn Pela to discuss the Pela & Sutton (2021) study that showed how Reintegrative Therapy is safe and effective for sexual attraction fluidity exploration. And the timing is perfect for this interview, because with Bill C-4 and other bans for counseling for unwanted same-sex attraction, and with YouTube banning Nicolosi’s Reintegrative Therapy Association channel, the attacks against our work and the client’s right to therapeutic choice are ramping up. #ReintegrativeTherapy #HarmMyth #IneffectivenessMyth #ConversionTherapyBan #SAFETherapy #SOCE #PelaSutton #Nicolosi #TherapeuticChoice #BillC4 #FollowtheScience #Misinformation #Censorship Reference for Dr. Pela’s study and how to access it: Pela, Carolyn, & Sutton, Phil.

With the enactment of Canada's Bill C-4 and the UK considering a ban, people are finally talking about the overreach of these conversion therapy bans.

A few months ago, I preached a sermon at Hopewell Community Church about worship and transformation. I wanted to do a couple short videos elaborating on some of the ideas from that sermon that were partly influenced by some videos on YouTube. The Jordan Peterson interview with Bishop Robert Barron helped me develop this idea I had been mulling over for a few years: what you worship you become. #Worship #JordanPetersonBishopBarron #Transformation #JordanPeterson #BishopBarron #RightPraise #Christianity References (Note: clips from other videos are used for commentary and fall under Fair Use): My sermon on Worship & Transformation: https://youtu.be/KnFzKMDXfY4 Jordan Peterson's video with Bishop Barron: https://youtu.be/BVrLqpt0APo Thank you for watching!

I was recently completing a training on identifying and reporting child abuse. And as I went through certain slides, I couldn't help but wonder if the current trends in treatment of children with gender dysphoria count as child abuse. So, let's examine the different types of child abuse and then check the evidence to see how well gender ideology, puberty blockers, hormone replacement therapy, and sex reassignment surgery measure up to the criteria for abuse. #Transgender #ChildAbuse #GenderDysphoria #GenderIdentity #PubertyBlockers #CrossSexHormones #SexReassignment #GenderConfirmation #GenderAffirmation References: Bränström, R., and Pachankis, J.E.
