    Should Christians Trust Their Feelings?

    We live in a culture that tells us to trust our feelings, follow our hearts, and be our authentic selves. But what happens when what feels authentic conflicts with what God has said? In this episode, I look at what Jesus meant when He said to deny ourselves, why our feelings are real but cannot be our final authority, and why true freedom is found in following Christ.

    The Church Is Missing This About Celibacy

    What happens after a Christian with same-sex attraction chooses costly obedience to Christ? We spend a lot of time talking about what the Bible calls believers to do, but have we asked what the church is called to do for those who faithfully walk the path of biblical celibacy? In this conversation, I explore what Scripture teaches about the church as a spiritual family and challenge all of us to consider how we can better love our brothers and sisters who are following Jesus in faithful obedience.

    Is God Silent… Or Are You Ignoring What He Already Said?

    Have you ever felt like God is silent?

If you're waiting for God to reveal the next step, this biblical message will encourage you to trust Him by obeying what He has already said.

    The Cost of Obedience

    What does it really cost to follow Jesus? In this conversation, I share what God taught me during my morning devotional and why obedience is a daily decision for every Christian. If you're facing temptation, discouragement, or a hidden battle, I hope this encourages you to keep following Christ one day at a time.

    Does Scripture Define Marriage?

    I experience complete same-sex attraction. If anyone had a reason to want a different answer from Scripture, it would be me. In this episode, I explain God's design for marriage and sexuality as defined in Genesis, reaffirmed by Jesus in Matthew 19, and how it applies equally to all Christians. This is a personal conversation about Scripture, obedience, truth, compassion, and the cost of following Christ.

    Why We Still Choose Sin

    Most Christians already know what God says about sin. The real struggle is often not a lack of knowledge but a battle of competing desires. In this episode, Arch Kennedy explores why we continue returning to sins we know are wrong, the difference between information and surrender, and how freedom begins when we stop making excuses and start telling God the truth.

    Why Didn't Acceptance Fix This?

    If acceptance is the answer, why do alcohol and drug abuse rates remain elevated in the gay community? In this episode, I explore that question through my own experience. When I first came out in the late 1980s and early 1990s, society was far more hostile toward gay people than it is today. Rejection, stigma, and isolation were real, and many people point to those factors as major contributors to addiction. But society has changed dramatically, and yet the struggles remain. Drawing from my own journey through addiction, recovery, and faith, I explain why I eventually came to believe the deeper issue wasn't merely social—it was spiritual. I also share what people mean when they say "Jesus is the answer" and how that played out in my own life through sobriety, boundaries, self-control, and lasting change.

    Why I Stopped Celebrating Pride Month

    People often tell me I don't understand Pride Month. The truth is, I spent years immersed in the gay community. I attended Pride events, marches, and festivals, and experienced that culture from the inside. In this episode, I share my journey from identifying with the gay community to finding my identity in Christ. I discuss what I witnessed firsthand, how years of Bible study challenged my assumptions, and why I no longer support or celebrate Pride Month.
