About this episode
Amanda Smith shares her journey out of a lesbian identity and discusses the factors behind same-sex attraction with Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse.
Amanda Smith lived as a lesbian for 12 years. She dressed like a man, dated feminine women, and was convinced God had made her that way. Then, alone in a new city with nothing but a Bible her mom had given her, everything changed. Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse sits down with Amanda Smith, a staff missionary with Desert Stream Living Waters, to talk about the journey out of a lesbian identity, the real contributing factors behind same-sex attraction, and what the Church gets right — and wrong — when walking alongside people in sexual and relational brokenness. 📄 FREE: Refuting the Top 5 Gay Myths → https://ruthinstitute.org/ruthnewsletter/ 🌐 Desert Stream: https://www.desertstream.org/ 📧 Amanda: lwmissionary11@gmail.com ▶️ HOPE Conference: https://www.restoredhopenetwork.org/hope-20-2020- ▶️ Desert Stream Substack: https://desertstream.substack.com/p/so-far ▶️ Desert Stream YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQ4dESRkJxc ⏱️ CHAPTERS 00:00 — Cold open 00:30 — Intro 00:53 — Amanda's role at Desert Stream 01:17 — The mission: equipping the Church 01:41 — What sexual brokenness includes 02:04 — Not just an ex-gay ministry 02:43 — Not therapy — lay-driven discipleship 03:06 — vs…
