Dr. Joseph Nicolosi Jr. explores these questions through Reintegrative Therapy—a trauma-focused, evidence-based approach designed for those experiencing unwanted sexual attractions. Critics label it "conversion therapy," but Nicolosi argues it’s something entirely different.

In an age where ideological conformity is demanded, even a hint of dissent can be grounds for exile. Radical acceptance is the new litmus test—and conservative parents are failing by default. Inste...

That led to an invitation to church—and during that very first visit, the Holy Spirit met him powerfully. In this episode, Bec...

When Jesus introduced the new blueprint for marriage—no divorce, total monogamy—it stunned the Apostles. His vision was bold, uncompromising, and utterly countercultural. But with the power of the Holy Spirit, it’s not only possible—it’s transformational.

Katie Coblentz grew up a tomboy—Spider-Man, catch with dad, boys’ clothes. As a teen, she felt like a misfit and found fleeting belonging in the LGBT community. In college, YouTube videos of joyful ‘trans men’ promised freedom from her anxiety and pain.


She transitioned—testosterone, surgery, a new name. The illusion worked. Until one day, she looked in the mirror… and saw a woman.


That moment unraveled everything.
