Summary
Garry Ingraham is a husband and father of two wonderful boys. He and his wife Melissa co-founded the Love & Truth Network; a community to help others find the same life-giving, restorative arms of Jesus that has wonderfully blessed them.
Although Garry grew up in a Christian home, he struggled with same-sex attraction, pornography, and masturbation beginning at an early age. Due in part to the silence of spiritual leaders on issues with which he was struggling, Garry left Bible College in frustration, turned away from God, and fully embraced a gay identity.
While the new sense of acceptance and belonging Garry felt in the gay community was initially intoxicating, it eventually eroded into a profound sense of emptiness. So, in desperation, Garry came to authentic faith in Christ by surrendering his life.
After experiencing years of genuine acceptance, support, and restoration in a healthy, life-giving church, Garry met and later married his wife, Melissa.
We invited to Garry on the Real Men Connect Podcast to share his testimony as well as his insights on topics most churches unfortunately avoid when it comes to sex and same sex attraction.
