I'm kicking off my series of interviews with seasoned ex-gay veterans with one of my heroes, Joe Dallas! (Recorded 1/4/23.) Joe is a very well-known counselor, author, and past-president of Exodus International, the former network of ministries for sexuality strugglers. We also both serve in ReStory Ministries, which resources the church to address LGBT issues and minister to sexuality strugglers. In this interview, we dive into his personal story of salvation, ministry, backsliding into gay activism, then back to orthodoxy, and being called to counsel others leaving homosexuality. He dispels myths about Exodus and ex-gay ministry, and shares his heart for the future.

If you're struggling with guilt over your sin or feeling distant from God, this video is for you! Let's explore the amazing connection between the 70-30 rule in "good enough" parenting and God's love for you--yes, even in your waywardness.

Going along with the recent videos I've done on shame and guilt, I invited onto my channel Dr. Diera Shaw-Mendez to share the presentation she did with her husband, Juan Mendez, at the July 2026 First Love Unbroken Conference. She and Juan co-direct Hope House for Our Families, operating discipleship homes in New Jersey for people in recovery. For her doctor in education degree at Liberty University, she completed a dissertation with research on the elements of moral injury and spiritual struggles that are so often missing from recovery treatment plans. We touch on some topics that are critical for my clients and so many others struggling with patterns of sin.

Justin Greenfield is a speaker and spiritual director, coaching churches and individuals to more redemptively address LGBTQ+ topics. I invited him onto my channel to share his story, which serves as a decent case study in the common roots of developing same-sex attraction. We also tie in poignant commentary on recent research.
