Are you walking through questions of sexuality, codependency, or watching someone you love struggle—and wondering if freedom is possible?

In this powerful episode, Emily shares her raw and honest story of navigating same-sex attraction, deep codependency, and the lies that held her captive for over a decade. Like so many of us, she tried behavior modification—cutting off the "fruit" of sin—only to discover that true transformation comes when God addresses the roots of the heart.

Through vulnerability and truth, Emily shows us that freedom is possible when we place God first, surrender daily, and walk in community. Her journey isn't just for those struggling personally—it's a message of hope for parents, friends, and anyone who longs to love well and experience God's power to transform.
