Hole In My Heart Podcast

Friday, January 2, 2026 - 46 minutes

Happy New Year! We’re kicking off the year by diving into your thoughtful questions, including:

  • How do we find the courage to speak truth with love?
  • How can I love a gay friend well when they enter a same-sex relationship?
  • How can a same-sex attracted man discern between marriage and singleness?
  • How do I navigate pornography and masturbation conversations in a mixed-faith marriage?
  • What healthy boundaries can we set for our kids when it comes to preventing sexual abuse without becoming “helicopter” parents?
  • How do we engage and disciple our kids when family members identify as gay or trans?

Thanks for bringing the content! We’re so glad you are here.
