Summary

No one has lived closer to the controversy over being “ex-gay” than Anne Paulk. When her ex- husband returned to the homosexual lifestyle, the world jumped at the opportunity to label him, and anyone else claiming to be “ex-gay”, a fraud. But what if there is no either/or? What if sanctification for those with same-sex attraction is no different than it is for every one of us –a process of becoming more like Jesus, one day at a time? Grab your coffee and join Juli as she talks with Anne Paulk about walking away from same-sex relationships and moving toward God’s design for sexuality.
