OM DENNE EPISODE
Same-sex attraction can become an intensely lonely battle, especially when shame and fear keep a struggling believer from seeking help. In this concluding episode of the Twisted Passions series, Ryan Swanson shares three listener testimonies that point to dependence on Christ, honest accountability, wise boundaries, and a willingness to let God use a redeemed story. The episode challenges both those seeking victory and those who want to help them: condemnation alone is not enough, pride must give way to humility, and God often provides the right people to help us walk faithfully.
