What Are Emotions For? Talk for West-Mont Christian Academy Chapel and Small Groups
I was invited to speak at West-Mont Christian Academy for their chapel and small groups this past week. They requested I submit a pre-recorded video for their Jr and Sr High students. So, I chose to do a teaching based on a handout I made several years ago about the purpose of emotions. I include moments to pause and do brief group discussions.
In this video, I teach the two main purposes of emotions: communication and motivation. I explain how God gave us emotions for our survival, how we can detect and identify our emotions, how our thoughts/beliefs create our emotions, and how emotions influence our actions.

Ranting about Being Relevant
This video is me ranting about the mantra over the past few decades that "the church needs to be relevant." What does that mean? What has been the outcome of churches pursuing cultural relevance? And what should we be doing instead?

Milo Yiannopoulos: The Ex-Gay Fool?
In celebration of April Fools Day, here are my thoughts on the news of rightwing provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos now claiming to be ex-gay and intending to open a "conversion therapy" center in Florida. Is he fooling us all?

The Importance of Individual Integrity
Continuing my series on how we will need integrity to survive the coming totalitarianism as Christian dissidents. In order to have integrity as a body, each of us individually need integrity, a wholeness that comes from the heart, mind, soul, and strength all loving God in unison. The increasing scandals among church and ministry leaders highlights this need for all of us to hold to Christ's teachings with our whole selves.

4 Different Views on Homosexuality & Gender Identity in the Church
If you're trying to sort through all the many voices in the Christian world when it comes to homosexuality and transgenderism, this video is for you! Jason Thompson from the Restored Hope Network member ministry Portland Fellowship made a very helpful chart that breaks the different views in the church into four categories: Revel (full LGBT-affirmation), Resist (LGBT identified but adherence to the historic Christian sexual ethic), Renounce (rejection of the LGBT identity and behaviors, with a focus on repentance and submission to God's will), and Rebuild (repentance identity and behavior as well as openness/pursuit of transformation). This video will break down the categories, mention some of the prominent names in each category, and point out the type of counseling or ministry that one might offer each perspective.

Integrity through Truth vs Unity through Fear: My Story as a Youth Pastor
In my last video, I said my next video would be a story time. This is the story about why I chose to part ways with a youth conference in which I had been involved for years as a youth pastor and a workshop speaker. This story is from 2018 and it serves as a perfect illustration of what I've been discussing in my recent videos: unity with the world and the coming totalitarian attack on truth and religious liberty, unity in the church, and the primacy of doctrinal integrity over unity.
Note: I had held off on sharing this story for a while in order to avoid gossip or slander. I used names only to make it easier to tell the story, so please do not try to contact or harass any of the people involved.

No Unity without Integrity
Where does the call for unity in the Church hit its limit? Where there's a lack of integrity to the Gospel, to God's Word, and orthodox Church teaching. The time is now here when people will not put up with sound doctrine. And there are plenty of teachers that will tell them what their itching ears want to hear. Will you stand upon the truth, no matter the cost?

Unity in the Church: The Integration of Evangelical, Sacramental, & Pentecostal Traditions
Following up on my video, Unity with the World, in which I argued that surviving the rising totalitarianism will require Christians to unite. And in response to the increasing stories of Christian deconstruction and deconversion, and a video on Paul VanderKlay's channel titled "Why the Symbolic World and the Charismatic Movement Must Meet," and then reading Gordon T. Smith's book on why the church needs to combine all the best from evangelicalism, Pentecostalism, and sacramental Christianity . . . and a lifetime of personal experience working with Christians from a variety of backgrounds, I present my thoughts on how we work toward integration.

Wonder Woman 1984 Reflection: Truth and Sacrifice

Unity with the World? A Christian Response to the Call to Unify with the Authoritarian Progressives
In the midst of all our social upheaval and the markings of a postmodern neo-Marxist revolution in America, the recent call from progressives to unify rubs me in a bad way. For us to unify with this agenda would be to enter into a codependent abusive relationship. In this video, I explain why we are so prone to falling into such codependency and what makes the call (demand?) to unify so dangerous. With insights from Rod Dreher's recent book, "Live Not by Lies: A Manual for Christian Dissidents," I offer some suggestions on how we're to survive and resist these totalitarian efforts.

Disney Pixar's Soul: A Commentary on Spirituality, Theology of the Body, and the Meaning of Life
My spoiler discussion on the message of the new animated feature film by Disney/Pixar, Soul (2020), written and directed by Pete Docter. I have mixed thoughts on this one, as it presents a fairly Gnostic, New Age understanding of humans, the spirit realm, and purpose in life. However, even so, with a biblical, Theology of the Body perspective, we can still draw some profound insights from the film.

Therapy for Unwanted SSA Q&A Part 2: Strong Support Webinar
Here is the addendum video I made to answer the remaining questions from the webinar with Strong Support.
Note: Strong Support is an international organization for Muslims with unwanted same-sex lust/attraction and behavior. The director invited me to kick off their webinar series by talking about the trends in therapy for SSA. They were all fully aware that I am a Christian and they were respectful in understanding my perspective.
Questions:
1:42 - What is the evidence of the efficacy of EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)? And can it be performed via Zoom?
5:11 - If I cannot pay for therapy, what would you suggest that could be helpful?
7:57 - Do you have a baseline assumption of the sexual identity that someone can be born with? Is it fluid or fixed?
14:55 - What do you suggest when reading SSA materials and experiencing a sense of being overwhelmed?
16:05 - Lisa Diamond said sexuality is not rigid or unchangeable. What's going on in those individuals as they grow that's changing their sense of self?
20:23 - For someone with SSA, how do you know when you're ready for marriage?

Therapy for Unwanted SSA Q&A Part 1: Strong Support Webinar
Here is the first part of the Q&A from the webinar I did with Strong Support back in May 2020. Note: Strong Support is an international organization for Muslims with unwanted same-sex lust/attraction and behavior. The director invited me to kick off their webinar series by talking about the trends in therapy for SSA. They were all fully aware that I am a Christian and they were respectful in understanding my perspective.
Questions:
4:44 - Is aversion therapy still be applied today and is it effective?
9:09 - If I cannot remember traumatic experiences from early childhood, should I do psychoanalysis to retrieve repressed memories?
20:02 - What is the connection between SSA, Complex PTSD, and narcissistic parenting? And are there holistic approaches?
27:00 - Polling the audience about their own therapy experiences.
30:36 - How can I do self-therapy if there are no therapists available?
35:00 - Are there atheist therapists in this field?
39:50 - Have you ever encountered people who developed SSA later in life?
48:19 - Are there profiles of therapists in this field? Are they mainly in the US?

More Therapeutic Approaches to Unwanted Same-Sex Attraction: Strong Support Webinar Part 2
This is part 2 of my webinar I did in May 2020 with Strong Support, an organization for Muslims with unwanted same-sex lust/attraction and behavior. I was invited to speak on the trends in therapy for SSA/homosexuality. I ran out of time in the live webinar, so I made an addendum video to finish my presentation. This contains the section about the various therapeutic approaches beyond Nicolosi's Reparative Therapy and Reintegrative Therapy: Richard Cohen's 4-Stage Model, Narrative Therapy, CBT, and Christopher Doyle's Family Systems Model, and various experiential approaches.
Note: thought the original audience is Muslim, this video and Part 1 are incredibly informative for any person interested in more info about SOCE (sexual orientation change efforts) or SAFE-T (sexual attraction fluidity exploration in therapy).

Trends in Therapy for Unwanted Same-Sex Lust: Strong Support Webinar Part 1
On May 23rd 2020 (I accidentally say June in the intro), I was invited to speak at the inaugural webinar for Strong Support, a UK-based organization for Muslims around the world who struggle with unwanted same-sex lust/same-sex attraction. The founder and director. Ali Asad Jaffery, asked me to speak about the trends in therapy for unwanted same-sex attraction/behavior. Due to the length, I am splitting this webinar into separate videos.
Please note: if you are new to my channel, I am a Christian psychotherapist, but I work with individuals of various faiths, including Muslim men working through unwanted same-sex eroticization. As Ali mentioned, there are far too few Muslims trained in effective and ethical therapeutic approaches to sexual struggles. So, I appreciate Strong Support seeking to partner with non-Muslims to help equip their community to better support their members that face great distress and stigma over their sexual attractions.
If you are watching this as a non-Muslim, you may still find benefit in this webinar especially since this part is about the shared history of homosexuality and counseling in terms that should clear up a variety of myths and misunderstandings.

True Honor: What the Woke Don't Get
Reflecting on recent events, particularly in light of Pearl Harbor Day this week. A quote on a memorial got me thinking about how this generation does not understand true honor. Instead, the leftwing, PC authoritarian, woke, identitarian, intersectionalist, social justice warrior, neo-Marxists are ushering in a twisted version of honor-shame cultural dynamics.

A Victory for Gender Sanity!
On 12/1/20, a high court in the UK ruled in favor of Keira Bell (and another claimant) in her lawsuit against the Tavistock Center, the NHS' sole gender reassignment clinic. This is a step in the right direction toward protecting children and adolescents facing confusion and distress over their sex and gender, creating a barrier from being fast-tracked to puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and the removal of healthy body parts.

A Victory for SOCE Client Rights and Therapy Equality!
Something I'm thankful for: on Nov. 20, 2020, the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that Boca Raton and Palm Beach County, FL's ban on therapy for unwanted same-sex attraction and gender confusion for minors was unconstitutional! The plaintiffs were Robert Otto and Julie Hamilton. The two judges that ruled in favor of the plaintiffs, Britt Grant and Barbara Lagoa, were appointed by President Trump. And the dissenting judge, Beverly Martin, was appointed by President Obama. The ruling shows the difference in the way the two types of judges honor the Constitution. I walk through parts of the decision document to highlight the rationale used.

The Psychology of BLM Rioters and Looters
I'm continuing to dive into controversial subjects by providing my critique of the Black Lives Matter movement in general, and in particular the attempt to justify the rioting and looting (stealing). I provide commentary on a video featuring author Kimberly Jones making a case early on in the George Floyd riots in defense of looting. Her video serves as an example of the multiple drivers of the culture war that I've been discussing in my videos: honor-shame dynamics, materialism, society-wide cognitive distortions and lack of critical thinking, and victim mentality and lack of anti-fragility.

The Satanic Conspiracy of the Sexual Revolution and the War against Therapy for Sexuality
I pray this video will help give some perspective on how Satan has been using the sexual revolution to wage a full-out assault on the image of God expressed in our sexuality. With this insight, you will understand the real reason why therapy for people struggling with unwanted same-sex attraction and behavior or gender identity confusion is so vehemently opposed by the ruling class. It's all part of the Satanic conspiracy to control the population by creating a system of including all the margins and excluding any opposition.

Comparing the Treatment of COVID-19 Doctors and "Conversion Therapy"
This summer, when medical doctors came forward with their arguments against the mass lockdowns and with evidence of the effectiveness of hydroxychloroquine to fight Coronavirus, the way they were treated was very familiar. They were chastised, threatened professionally, censored, and ridiculed in the same ways that so-called "conversion therapists" are. This leads to certain powers controlling information and messaging, and providing a smokescreen for big entities to cover up their own corruption.

Restored Hope Network Censored! And More Attacks on Ex-Gays and Sexual Identity Strugglers
Restored Hope Network, the largest umbrella organization for Christian ministries, pastors, and counselors offering help to people with unwanted same-sex attraction, homosexuality, and gender identity confusion, was just censored and de-platformed from Facebook. This summer, Facebook and Instagram announced their plans to ban any content that promotes what they consider so-called "conversion therapy," a misleading label for any counseling, pastoral care, or even teaching that helps people change from LGBTQ identities or homosexual attractions and behaviors, as well as gender identity conflicts. Thanks to decades of well-funded propaganda by the LGBTQ lobby, most people have fallen for the myths that any counseling approach for these issues are harmful and unhelpful. And most people don't care how the rights of sexual identity strugglers are constantly being violated.
It was also #NationalComingOutDay this weekend. If you care about the freedoms of people with same-sex attraction, then join us in fighting for their freedom to explore ALL their options, and to even change their minds.

Psychological Effects of Social Distancing and Masks: A Therapist's Concerns
As the response to the Coronavirus/COVID-19 pandemic has stretched on for several months, I've seen some psychological effects in my clients and the general population: loss of purpose from work, increased anxiety and obsessive-compulsive tendencies, dehumanization, and pacification.
