    From Transition to Transformation: Finding True Belonging in Christ

    In this episode of the Strength and Weakness Podcast, hosts Ellen Radcliff, LMFT, and Morgan Roberts sit down with Kyla Gillespie, author of the new book "Transformed." Kyla shares a concise recap of her personal story—growing up in a Christian home, struggling with gender dysphoria and same-sex attraction, her full transition to living as a man named Bryson, and her eventual detransition after a profound encounter with God's love. We dive deep into the messy middle of navigating transgender ideologies: how to humanize the experience with compassion while holding firm to biblical truth. Kyla offers wisdom for parents, young people experiencing gender dysphoria, and Christians grappling with polarized views—whether dismissing it as "ridiculous" or bending to affirmation out of empathy. Hear emotional stories from her book, including pivotal moments with friends who loved her unconditionally through disagreement, and Kyla's reflections on writing such a vulnerable memoir. Discover how surrendering to God brought freedom from self-autonomy and slavery to identity struggles. Kyla's book "Transformed" releases on March 17th—preorder now on Amazon!

    Is This The Hill I Want To Die On: Holding Truth Without Losing Relationship

    In this episode of the Strength and Weakness Podcast, Morgan Roberts and Ellen Radcliff, LMFT, respond to a powerful question from a Christian parent of an LGBTQ child: “Is this the hill I should die on?” Together, they unpack what that question really means — fear, grief, love, and the longing to stay connected to your child while remaining faithful to God. They discuss: What it means to “pick your battles” as a parent Why convictions are not the same as your relationship with God How to disagree without making agreement the price of relationship This episode is especially for Christian parents who feel torn between their beliefs and their love for their child — and who want to know how to walk this road with both truth and compassion. 🎧 Be sure to listen to the next episode, where we continue this conversation and focus specifically on how parents can talk with younger children about LGBTQ topics. ⁠Connect With Strength In Weakness⁠ #Faith #ChristianPodcast #OvercomingSin #StrengthAndWeakness #christianparenting

    116. Understanding Special Needs & Gender Through God’s Heart

    In this episode of the Strength In Weakness Podcast Morgan and Ellen step carefully and compassionately into a topic many Christian parents are quietly wrestling with: the overlap between autism and LGBTQ identification. With honesty, humility, and personal experience, they explore why autistic individuals may feel “other,” how that longing for belonging intersects with cultural messages around gender and sexuality, and how the church can respond with the heart of Christ. As both a therapist and a mom to a child with autism, Ellen shares gentle insight into how neurological differences shape identity processing, social perception, and emotional experience. Together, she and Morgan talk through why LGBTQ spaces can feel comforting for those who have often felt misunderstood—and how the Christian community can grow in offering that same warmth, safety, and belonging in a biblical way.⁠ Connect With Strength In Weakness⁠ https://linktr.ee/strengthinweakness#Temptation #Faith #ChristianPodcast #OvercomingSin #StrengthAndWeakness

    115. Grafted In: Adoption, Identity, and the Heart of the Father

    In this episode of The Strength In Weakness Podcast, Morgan and Ellen explore adoption through a deeply biblical lens—our own adoption into God’s family—and how that spiritual reality can shape the way parents walk with their adopted children through questions of identity and LGBTQ experiences. Drawing from Ellen’s counseling work and Morgan’s family stories, they talk about the unique ache and beauty of adoption: the grief of expectations that shift, the longing for belonging, and the sacred reality of being chosen and brought into a family by love, not biology. Together, they help parents see how their relationship with God—as adopted sons and daughters—can guide how they love, steady, and shepherd their children, especially when fear or self-blame rises. They unpack: How God’s adoptive love models patient, non-controlling, unconditional presence Why adopted kids may wrestle more deeply with identity and belonging How parents can reflect God’s tenderness, stability, and pursuit in moments of tension Practical ways to anchor your child’s worth in being chosen—not just by you, but by God This episode invites parents to breathe again, to grieve and rejoice at the same time, and to remember: the story of adoption has always been God’s story—and He walks with you as you live it out in your own home.

    114. The Truth About Temptation

    In this episode of the Strength & Weakness Podcast, hosts Guy Hammond and Davion Hambrick dive deep into the often-misunderstood topic of temptation. Is being tempted the same as sinning? Why does the Bible say even Jesus was tempted in every way? And could it be that temptation isn’t a punishment but actually an opportunity to grow, declare your loyalty to God, and become more like Christ? Guy and Davion challenge the stigma around temptation, share personal stories, and explore passages like James 1 and Romans 7 to reveal a new perspective: temptation is not your downfall—it’s your chance to put faith into action. Whether you’re wrestling with everyday struggles or seeking encouragement in your spiritual walk, this conversation will give you a fresh outlook on overcoming sin and embracing the refining process that draws us closer to Jesus. 👉 Subscribe for more faith-building conversations on navigating life’s challenges with honesty, humility, and biblical truth.

    113. The Tragedy of Perfection

    In this episode of the Strength In Weakness podcast, hosts Guy Hammond and Davion Hambrick kick off a brand-new series inspired by Guy’s book Tempt Away: How to Defeat Every Temptation in Under 60 Seconds. Together, they dive into one of the biggest struggles Christians face—the unrealistic expectation of living a “perfect” life. Why do so many believers feel pressured to hide their flaws? Why is authenticity often replaced by a polished façade on Sunday mornings? And what does the Bible really say about weakness, grace, and growth? Guy and Davion explore scriptures like 1 John 1:8–9 and 2 Corinthians 12:9, unpack the idea of church as a spiritual hospital, and remind us that Christianity isn’t about perfection—it’s about progression. Along the way, they share personal stories, practical insights, and encouragement for anyone who feels weighed down by the burden of perfectionism. 👉 Tune in and discover why embracing your weaknesses may actually be the key to experiencing God’s strength.
