![Is there really a way out of homosexuality? Pastor Phillip Lee of His Way Out Ministries sits down with Brandon Holthaus for an honest conversation about same-sex attraction, the church's silence, and the hope found only in Christ.
In this episode of Tip of the Spear, Brandon interviews Phillip Lee — who has spent more than 30 years ministering to men and women struggling with same-sex attraction — on what the Bible actually says, why so many churches and prominent leaders have gone quiet, the crucial difference between "gay" and "homosexual," the real story on HIV/AIDS today, and why his teams take the gospel to the world's largest gay pride events, including Tel Aviv. This isn't about winning an argument. It's about souls.
⛪ This conversation is for the parent, pastor, or friend who knows someone wrestling with this and wants a response deeper than "it's wrong."
