A Listening: Saved, Single, and Same-Sex Attracted
In this episode, Yana sits down with her friends Jonathan & Kat to hear about who they are and their stories. Jonathan points to the value of friendship and accountability through his season of exploring what following Jesus meant for him, even down to his sexuality. He shares the hope and joy found in forfeiting what his flesh felt like it genuinely needed, and in the forfeiting his soul and heart found what it actually needed and was longing for. Kat shares about her experience and story of coming to know Jesus. She shares about learning to trust the Lord and that He is not scared of her flaws and sin, but more so pursues her because of those things. In Jonathan and Kat’s stories, we hear about their moment of realizing that Christ is the answer to having a fulfilled life, and that it is not through our sexual desires being fulfilled.
