Dear Ellen, I’ve been trying to support a woman in our ministry who deals with same-sex attraction. She’s incredibly thoughtful and devoted, really seeking the truth, but also deeply academic. She has lots of questions and struggles to understand why God asks us to live within certain boundaries, especially when it comes to marriage and sexuality. I want to help her stay connected to God and encourage her, but it’s hard to know how to navigate these conversations without making it all about rules and losing sight of God’s love. How can I support her well? – Unsure How to Help

Dear Ellen, I’ve been struggling with same-sex attraction for a long time. I’ve prayed countless times for God to take these feelings away, but they haven’t gone.

Dear Conflicted, Thank you so much for sharing your heart and trusting me with this part of your story. I’m […]
