  • Thank you

    Thank you for saying all these things! As a counselor, the Lord has taught me these things and I say them to people everyday. I don’t always hear all of this in the church and it was a balm of encouragement to my soul to hear you all say what the Lord has also shown me for the healing process.

  • Ignorant and Uninformed

    The podcasters come across as unintelligent and uninformed. “We can’t be what we want to be. I can’t be a football player because I’m too old and too fat.” Really? That’s the analogy you go for when thinking about someone’s gender identity?

  • Living Hope is a Blessing to the Local Church

    The LGBTQ community labels anyone that doesn't embrace complete and total affirmation of their positions as hate. It’s a completely dishonest and lazy take. I know for a fact the leadership at Living Hope Ministries genuinely loves all people, like Jesus did, from all backgrounds and their approach to ministry is a biblically centered approach that honors God’s design for mankind as written in the Scriptures and highlighted by Jesus’ teachings in the New Testament. No one is coerced or manipulat... more

312 Navigating a Mental Health Diagnosis

Diagnoses can be required to bill insurance and can open doors to resources and appropriate treatment options, even if they should not define a person.

Q: What kind of encouragement would you give to a man or a woman that is maybe really in that wrestle of, is it really worth following Jesus?
The biggest thing I wish I knew earlier in my journey was to know God's heart for me, recognizing His kindness leads to repentance.
