If you're feeling frustrated and confused as you try to address homosexuality while remaining faithful to God's Word, only to find that your efforts are causing division and misunderstanding among your friends and family, then you are not alone! Despite your best intentions, your conversations may be filled with judgment and condemnation instead of love and acceptance, leading to further distance and pain.

In this episode, you will be able to:

• Journey through Matthew Karchner's enlightening transition from a conventional corporate world to a purpose-driven life as a missionary.
• Grasp the tactic of addressing homosexuality without deviating from God's Word.
• Recognize humility's vital role in bearing witness to Christian faith and gospel proliferation.
• Imbibe the invaluable principle of sacrificial love that lies at the heart of Christian parental care and ministry work.
• Comprehend the profound significance of missionary labor and the necessity for a divine call from God.

My special guest is Matthew Karchner

Matthew Karchner is an American missionary with a compelling story centered in Cambodia's heartland. Originally from Pennsylvania, his Christian upbringing didn't shield Matthew from freight-train-like temptations but strengthened his eventual escape from this lifestyle. This escape occurred 13 years ago when Matthew's life took a spiritual U-turn, leading him to the people of Cambodia. His primary goal? Reach out to the young LGBTQ+ Cambodians, a group hugely neglected by mainstream Christian ministries. Matthew uses his past experiences to heal others and spread God's word.
