Many Christians who struggle with sexual brokenness — whether it be related to same-sex attraction or not — grapple with not only the weight of their struggles, but the deep shame and self-hatred caused by it. Oftentimes, the lies and stories they tell themselves can more than outweigh anything the world might say. In this episode, Garry Ingraham and guest Jason Mellard discuss the power of the stories we tell ourselves, and the critical importance of recognizing the truth of God, even in our inner world.

Christine Sneeringer grew up in a home that reinforced one message: being a woman is not safe. Being a woman means being abused and rendered powerless by men. Due to this, as she grew she chose to embrace her views on the dangers of men by becoming gay, as well as doing all she could to avoid Christianity— but Jesus had other plans. In part one of this two part interview, Christine tells her incredible story of not just redemption from fear of men, and hatred of Christianity, but transformation into a brand new, beautiful woman of God, crafted in his image.

True surrender to the lordship of Jesus is rarely comfortable. More often, it’s intense, deeply personal, and calls for continual trust. In part one of this two-part conversation, Keith Boyette shares with Garry Ingraham how God asked him to lay down everything: his lifelong dream of becoming a pastor, a successful career in Washington D.C., and even his family. What followed was a journey of obedience, testing, and ultimately, transformation through the power of surrender.
