I often encounter the same question when I share about the work we do at Outpost. The scene is always similar. We’re sitting down over coffee or those all-too-addictive Chick-Fil-A waffle fries. “So what exactly does Outpost do?” they ask. I give the quick pitch: Outpost is a ministry that…
Voices: Real Connection, Real Freedom
In a word, I have found in twenty-three years of ministry, that people find lasting freedom from same-sex attraction (SSA) through connection. I believe anyone can find consistent power to overcome SSA if they can attain and maintain meaningful connection: 1) to God through His Son, Jesus; 2) to a…

Linda’s Story: Tranformation of a Transgender
From my earliest memory I wanted to be a boy instead of a girl. Somehow I just knew that if I had male genitalia, my life would be complete. As a child, I prayed repeatedly for God to make me into a boy and became obsessed with my pursuit. However,…
Blown Away
The following testimony is from a Joshua Fellowship participant after completing the Holy Aggression Masculinity Course at the end of last summer: I went into the [weekend retreat] expecting, but not expecting much. So now I’m a little blown away and still trying to process the weekend. God met me in…
