I'm so happy to present this conversation! Andrew Comiskey is one of the early pioneers of the ex-gay ministry movement, founding Desert Stream Ministries, developing the Living Waters program (for any sexual struggler, not just those with SSA), and writing numerous books. I include Marco Casanova, as he is helping lead the ministry into the future. We all recently served together at a Living Waters training in conjunction with the Theology of the Body Institute in my old hometown of Quarryville, PA, so we reflect and joke about that experience. Enjoy this fun interview!

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.
