Episode 46: “Love Without Affirming” is OUT NOW on all Platforms!

Welcome back to the Forty-Sixth episode of The Narrow Path Podcast! In this episode, Jake and Justin sit down with Christian Poncsak for a vulnerable conversation about navigating same-sex attraction while following Jesus. Christian shares his journey of wrestling with desires, identity, and faith, and how returning to Scripture and community became the foundation for conviction, transformation, and freedom. They discuss why feelings cannot be the ultimate guide, why discipline matters more than emotion, and why Christ-centered identity is the only stable foundation.

We want to be clear: we love every person, including those struggling with same-sex attraction, but love doesn’t mean affirming behavior Scripture calls sin. Romans 1 and 1 Corinthians 6 warn against same-sex sexual behavior without repentance, yet remind us that anyone can be washed, sanctified, and justified in Jesus Christ. Christian shares how God’s kindness, even in letting him reach the end of himself, led him to surrender, encounter God’s presence, and declare, “the only man I’m pursuing now is Jesus.”

Anchored in Scripture, compassion, and truth, this episode explores freedom in Christ even amid temptation, finding identity in Jesus rather than sexuality, and loving people well without affirming sin. If you’ve wrestled with same-sex attraction or want to walk faithfully in both grace and truth, this episode is for you.
