Jon Carl Lewis talks about going through conversion therapy to escape being gay
Manage episode 339487986 series 3296076
My guest, Jon Carl Lewis, was raised in an evangelical religion and received early messages that being gay was definitely not OK. For 10 years, starting at puberty, Jon Carl did everything he could do to "pray the gay away". When that failed, in his early 20's, he entered into conversation therapy. His personal recounting of this experience blew my mind. At age 56, his journey with reconciling his love for Jesus and undeniably being gay has been a very long and slow process. His breakthrough came only 2 years ago. Now, he describes a beautiful sense of inner peace. If religion has played havoc with your life as a homosexual, I invite you to listen.
Jon Carl is a spiritual director, writer, and public speaker.
