Thank you both for sharing this really difficult, vulnerable part of your lives. The “big C”church needs this- it shouldn’t be hiding from this subject, shunning ppl or condemning people into fear/hiding.
Christians who follow Jesus, are pursuing sanctification, and struggle with same-sex attraction, should be able to speak about their struggle, find community/accountability & help/tools in their pursuit towards holiness.
To the people who see Jeff’s “death to self” as sad, pathetic, or harmfu... more
This is the most honest and most helpful podcast I’ve ever listened to. It’s helping answer so many questions we’ve never understood and given us so much hope for a wonderful future and life we have prayed for. I went back and started from the first episode. It’s such a gift to families who need help knowing how to help and not hurt others in the process. I wish we would have had this information 7 years ago. Thank you both and your guests for your honest open truthful help.
Highly recommend this podcast! Love their realness to talk about big issues.
Jeff is literally me right now. Like I can relate so much with Jeff his feelings and all. I grew up non denominational full gospel- preacher grandkid - so much I could say but I hope to connect with Jeff and Jourdan and talk more - so much here but such an amazing feeling to hear all of this!!!

I appreciate their openness and vulnerability. However, I fundamentally disagree with Jourdan and Jeff about who Jesus is, and I think this podcast is damaging for gay Christians– who I believe should be openly affirmed within the church and should live as God created them to be. Besides that, I am concerned about the way Jeff talks over Jourdan, the underemphasis on Jourdan’s sexuality as valid and important (does anyone care about her needs!!?? He even pokes fun of her for being inexperienced)... more
