In this conversation, Nathanael Blake discusses his book 'Victims of the Revolution: How Sexual Liberation Hurts Us All,' exploring the implications of the sexual revolution on society, particularly focusing on the harm it has caused to children and families. He argues for the superiority of Christian sexual ethics and critiques the notion of sexual liberation, emphasizing the need for authentic love and commitment in relationships. The discussion also touches on the political context surrounding transgender issues and the failures of modern political philosophy to address the needs of children.

Nathanael Blake, Ph.D., is a Fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center, focusing on American political theory, Christian political thought, and natural law. He holds a doctorate in political theory from the Catholic University of America, where he wrote on the relationship between natural law and history. Dr. Blake has taught political science and was a Richard M. Weaver Fellow. His commentary has appeared in Public Discourse, The Federalist, National Review, and more. His forthcoming book, Victims of the Revolution: How Sexual Liberation Hurts Us All, will be published by Ignatius Press in Spring 2025.

In this powerful episode, Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse, founder of the Ruth Institute and author of The Sexual State: How Elite Ideologies Are Destroying Lives, joins the show from the Change Movement conference in California. The conversation centers around individuals who have left behind LGBTQ lifestyles and identities, often after profound encounters with faith and community.

Dr. Morse describes the testimonies of several people who spoke on the steps of the California State Capitol—stories marked by deep personal transformation, a longing for family, and spiritual awakening. The discussion also touches on the societal shift in attitudes toward sexuality and gender over recent decades, the role of media in shaping cultural norms, and the challenges of speaking out in today's environment.

She reflects on the early capture of institutions like the American Psychological Association by activist ideologies and explains how recent developments—especially around the transgender movement—are causing some to reconsider what was once seen as a “settled” cultural narrative.

Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse, founder of the Ruth Institute, joins Father Jack to discuss the Institute’s recent involvement in a major Supreme Court case on counseling freedom. She explains the arguments behind their amicus brief challenging Colorado’s ban on “conversion therapy” and highlights the broader implications for free speech, religious liberty, and therapeutic choice.

Dr. Morse also takes a critical look at the Trevor Project, a well-funded LGBTQ youth organization, raising concerns about its influence, federal funding, and online platforms. Tune in for a compelling conversation about the intersection of law, culture, and the future of family advocacy.

Resources Mentioned:

• Ruth Institute YouTube Channel

Key Points: 1. Supreme Court Case and Amicus Brief:

• Dr. Morse and the Ruth Institute filed an amicus brief in a Supreme Court case challenging a Colorado law banning so-called "conversion therapy."

• The brief was submitted under the title “Brief of Sexual Orientation Scholars in Support of Petitioners.”

• The case involves a Christian therapist claiming the law restricts her religious and professional freedom.

• The Ruth Institute argues that bans on such therapy suppress alternative therapeutic approaches and violate rights of both therapists and clients.

• Father Paul Sullins provided statistical critiques in the brief, and Morse contributed case studies and analysis questioning assumptions about sexuality, including the claim that people are “born gay.”

2. Critique of the Trevor Project:

• Morse criticizes the Trevor Project, a suicide prevention group for LGBTQ youth, claiming it is ideologically biased and heavily funded.

• She notes that YouTube links the Trevor Project to content critical of LGBTQ identities, labeling alternatives like conversion therapy as harmful.

• Morse supports the Trump administration’s decision to withdraw federal funding from the Trevor Project, redirecting it to general suicide prevention efforts.

• Concerns were raised about the Trevor Project’s online community features, which critics have described as vulnerable to abuse. Morse references critiques from “Gays Against Groomers” and the California Family Council.

3. Underlying Themes:

• The conversation strongly critiques mainstream LGBTQ support structures and what Morse and the Ruth Institute view as coercive or ideologically driven policies.

• Emphasis is placed on the rights of therapists and clients to explore identity and trauma without mandated affirming approaches.

Can people really leave behind same-sex attraction? Kimberly Zember says yes—and that claim alone makes her a controversial figure. But as she shares with Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse, her story is not about politics or slogans—it’s about a soul seeking truth, stumbling through pain, and ultimately finding peace in Christ.

 

Raised Catholic but lacking a clear picture of God’s love, Kimberly lived a double life for years—dating women in secret, wrestling with fear and isolation, and seeking help from those who too often offered affirmation instead of truth. Despite the confusion and the failures, she never stopped searching for something more than feelings or labels could offer.

 

Kimberly’s refusal to reduce herself to an identity—whether lesbian, missionary, or even “religious”—points to a deeper Christian anthropology: our actions do not define our essence. Through her testimony, she invites us to consider what it really means to live as a child of God in a culture that pushes us to define ourselves by our desires.

In this powerful interview, Fr. Rob Jack speaks with Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse, founder of the Ruth Institute and author of The Sexual State: How Elite Ideologies Are Destroying Lives and Why the Church Was Right All Along. Together, they unpack the devastating effects of the sexual revolution—from no-fault divorce and the redefinition of marriage, to gender ideology and surrogacy. Dr. Morse explains how powerful cultural elites have reshaped law, medicine, and education to fit an anti-family agenda—and how the Church offers the antidote.

If you've ever wondered why society seems so confused about sex, family, and identity—or what we can do to rebuild the moral order—this is the conversation you’ve been waiting for.

Why do some people experience same-sex attraction—and how should faithful Christians respond? In this episode of the Dr. J Show, clinical sexologist Floyd Godfrey draws on decades of experience counseling clients who experience same-sex attraction and want to live lives of chastity and integrity.

 

Dr. Godfrey discusses how trauma, emotional wounds, and unmet developmental needs can shape sexual desires. He explains the difference between a person’s feelings and their identity, and how healing involves both psychological insight and spiritual maturity. Rather than pushing an agenda, he walks us through how real change happens—with honesty, accountability, and deep human connection.

 

This conversation pushes back on the cultural narrative that says "once gay, always gay," and raises serious questions about efforts to ban talk therapy for those who seek it. If you're a parent, pastor, counselor, or simply someone concerned about the truth and the well-being of others, you won’t want to miss this important episode.
