4. The Gospel According to John
About this episode
John reflects on the damaging impact of the ex-gay movement and his personal struggles behind the public facade.
John looks back at the spiritual wreckage the ex-gay movement leaves behind - and the lives it destroys. Publicly, he’s its polished poster boy. But behind the public halo, he’s drowning. — Atonement: The John Paulk Story is a production of iHeart Podcasts and Goldhawk Productions in association with Marks Media Co. — If you’ve been affected by any of the issues covered in this series, you can find help and support at the following links: 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline The Lifeline provides 24/7, free and confidential support for people in distress.
