Listen Later

In this episode of The Dr. J Show, Bryan Shen—a professional counselor and independent Catholic missionary—shares his powerful journey from military fighter pilot to frontline advocate for truth and healing. Drawing from his extensive experience across Asia, Bryan sheds light on the often-overlooked challenges faced by individuals with same-sex attraction in conservative religious cultures. He underscores the need for compassion rooted in truth, and the critical role of spiritual and psychological support. As a representative of the International Foundation for Therapeutic and Counseling Choice, Bryan offers firsthand insight into how cultural and religious values can both challenge and guide individuals toward authentic healing. This episode is a compelling reminder that identity, when grounded in faith and reason, leads to true freedom.
