Submit, Resist, Fight
Ministering on the front lines, I have learned a thing or two about spiritual warfare. I am in no way an expert, but the Lord has been faithful to “train my hands for war and my fingers for battle” just as He was with King David (Psalm 144:1). The world…
Temptation Tool Kit
Resisting temptation is a very important topic to me. I’d like to share with you some tools from my own personal tool kit. My old-nature appetites are not in the arena of same-sex attractions, but the principles are the same. In pastoring people, I never give this whole tool kit…

Learning to Trust: A Wife’s Journey
I am the wife of a man who struggled with same-sex attractions in isolation for more than 25 years of our marriage. I am also a sister, niece, godmother, aunt and neighbor to individuals who have identified as gay. The Lord has wanted me to deal with the issue of…
How to Love a Vulnerable Friend: Responding to the ‘Transgendered’
First, thank you for your commitment to your friend. Sometimes devout, energized persons like you can help prevent an already vulnerable soul from doing further injury. I realize your friend is on the verge of doing just that by pursuing gender reassignment surgery. Gender is not a product of the…
