PRIDE 2024 - Pray the Gay Away
In this episode, we confront the harmful implications of the 'pray the gay away' narrative within Christian communities. From conversion therapy to the pressure to conform, we examine how these practices can deeply wound individuals grappling with their sexual orientation. Join us as we hear personal stories, explore the psychological effects, and discuss the evolving theological perspectives on sexuality. Together, we'll seek understanding and advocate for compassion in faith-based dialogues.
