Summary

Jake and Bob take time to debrief the series on Same Sex Attraction and address feedback from listeners.

Key Quote:

For our struggle is not with flesh and blood but with the principalities, with the powers, with the world rulers of this present darkness, with the evil spirits in the heavens. - Ephesians 6:12

Key Points:

Jake and Bob address some listener feedback about the series
The distinction between a pastoral approach and a philosophical or theological approach to the conversation
Can heterosexual and homosexual sins be weighted the same?
The denial of truth that’s pervasive in our current culture
Why it’s problematic to apply the term ‘conversion therapy’ too broadly
Bad therapy vs good therapy
The difference between being ‘value neutral’, imposing an ideology or respecting a client’s freedom in therapy
Defining healing and the healing process
Jake and Bob close with their hopes for this past season and a reveal of what’s coming next

Practical Application/ Reflection Questions:

Did you experience a reaction of grief during any episodes in this series? Note when and why and spend some time in prayerful reflection.

What’s your response to Jake and Bob’s distinction between ‘good therapy’ and ‘bad therapy’?
