By Words: Honest Faith Conversations for Christian Women

141. Same-Sex Attraction, Deconstruction, Mental Illness: How Our Doubts & Questions Can Lead Us to the Real God (ft. Brenna Blain)


Listen Later

Today we’re talking to Brenna Blain, author of “Can I Say That? How Unsafe Questions Lead Us to the Real God.” Brenna shares her story of same-sex attraction, mental illness, and finding God’s truth in the midst of her doubts and questions.

We explore the paths of deconstruction that often lead people away from faith versus the journey that brings us closer to the truth about God, strengthening our faith. We also discuss the importance of asking tough questions and being radically honest, and how believers can create safe spaces within their communities to reflect God's heart, especially towards those who feel unsafe or unwelcome. This is a conversation you definitely don’t want to miss!
