Welcome to Tim Men of Bible Talks, where we connect the Bible to your life and the time it takes to get to work.

My name is Patrick Miller. And I'm Keith Simon.

When do you first remember having romantic feelings toward other women?

Toward other women, it would probably be in high school,

probably towards my junior or senior year. I didn't really think much of it at the

time it was just like oh she's really pretty or like talking to girls like oh she's cool

or like I want to spend more time with her.

Not necessarily romantically at first,

but more just like kind of get to know them,

kind of like the talking stages kids do nowadays.

But yeah, towards girls.

And they kind of like started it,

is like just get to know them,

and then it would kind of like slowly lead

to other things.

What was your reaction to that? Were you scared? Were you proud? Did you deny it? How did you respond to these

attractions you were experiencing? I wouldn't say I was like scared because honestly it felt natural to me it felt more natural than like talking to the boys or having some of the boyfriends that I had but it felt more comfortable, it felt more natural.

It kind of just happened.

I didn't really like stop and think like, oh, what am I doing?

But like I knew at the same time like it was wrong, so would hide it like I wouldn't tell like my

my friends in high school and kind of just kept it a secret because I knew

deep down then it was wrong but at the same time like it felt right and it felt natural.
