Can homosexuals ever change on this edition of Truth in Love?

I'm Heath Lambert and you're listening to Truth in Love, a podcast of the Association of Certified Biblical Counselors,

where we seek to provide biblical solutions

to the problems that people face.

main issues that we're addressing all the time is the issue of homosexuality.

Christians can be controversial in that environment when they talk about the

fact that homosexuality is sinful. But Christians can be even more controversial when they insist that

people who struggle with homosexuality can change. And so we want to deal with this issue today

on the podcast of homosexuality and change.

Amy Evenson is the producer of Truth and Love.

We can answer it out of the overflow of our experience, or we can answer it out of the overflow of what the scriptures teach.
