The Struggle is Real

In this episode we begin sharing our story by responding to a message we received on Facebook.

We will:

  • Explore the experience of growing up gay in the church.
  • Identify what it actually means to struggle with our sexuality.
  • Discuss the impact of discrimination on mental health and self worth.
  • The significance of role models and visibility in church and society.
  • Discuss gay pride.
  • Affirm our identity in Christ.

What marvelous love the Father has extended to us! Just look at it—we’re called children of God! That’s who we really are. 1 John 3:1

Born and raised in the church, Jo never expected to find himself being pushed out by it. While Jo’s journey of self acceptance and a search for belonging has been challenging, it led him to find a loving God who was far greater than the sum of his painful experiences and hurt and a return to the church of his childhood. He hopes that all will be able to experience, as he has, a love that not only transforms them but also changes the way they see others.
