If you or any of your children are identifying as gay or lesbian, or are considering it, this episode was meant for you. If this decision is a struggle for you please take the time to listen through this whole episode. It’s not an accident you are hearing this. The message was meant for you and it will change your life. I’ve brought a guest who will share her own personal experience because she wants you to know you are seen, known and loved.

Hope Harris is a former LGBT rights activist who publicly identified as a lesbian from a young age. She had interactions with Christians protesting at gay rights rallies and events, which led her to believe that God and His followers hated members of the LGBTQ community. In part 1 of this episode Hope shares her story of how God reached her and revealed the truth of her identity and purpose in life and how to hear what God is trying to say to you.

If I asked you right now what you were born and created to do, could you tell me? If I asked you right now to tell me your purpose could you answer me right away or would you have to think about it? For some that is the difference between what gets them out of the bed with a fire in their soul on a gloomy day or what makes them feel drained and lifeless. If you’re struggling with your answer I brought someone who can help.

If you were born or raised in an abusive home, you may have had a generational curse placed on you that makes you more likely to become an abusive father/husband and take up destructive vices like alcohol pornography and drugs. But curses can be removed and you don’t have to become the way you grew up. My guest will share his story and how he broke the curses on his life and how you can too.
