Are we predestined by biology when it comes to who we love? Our latest series heralds a deep and respectful exploration into the often-polarizing question of whether people are born gay. Join us as we fuse our expertise in counseling, psychology, and theology to weave through the historical, psychological, and spiritual threads of sexual orientation. This thought-provoking series is not just another discussion; it's an educational pilgrimage designed to cultivate understanding and support within the church community.

Embark on a historical trek with us as we revisit the psychological landmarks that have charted the course of societal attitudes toward same-sex attraction. From the scrutiny of early psychological models to the seismic shifts in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, we dissect the legacy of researchers like Alfred Kinsey and engage in the challenging debates over the 'gay gene', brain mapping, and hormonal influences. Moreover, we confront the delicate interplay between personal convictions and professional responsibilities faced by Christian mental health workers, encouraging a dialogue that's as compassionate as it is courageous.

As we conclude this series, prepare for a candid discussion on the intersections of homosexuality, Christianity, and personal identity. We'll unravel the complexities around attending gay weddings and the impact of sexual abuse on sexual orientation, all within a framework that honors spiritual growth and the transformative power of faith. Whether you're seeking answers, understanding, or simply a fresh perspective, our conversation is an invitation to grow together through knowledge and empathy.
