Key Points from the Podcast
-
Guest Matthew Karchner shares his testimony of growing up in a Christian home, falling into alcohol and drugs, embracing the gay lifestyle, and how Jesus set him free.
-
Satan and the flesh will lead you into progressively deeper, darker, and more depraved sin.
-
Those struggling with a sin that they perceive as unforgivable might be deceived into thinking the gospel doesn’t apply to them.
-
Matthew Karchner now uses his story to minister to others in the LGBT community and has found that he faces more resistance to his ministry in the US than in Cambodia.
-
If a person was tempted to lie but instead told the truth, we wouldn’t label them a liar, so we don’t need to label someone with temptation to same-sex attraction as gay.
