Episode 105: Our First Study! With Matt and Laurie

Guys. We wrote a study! And it's been published! I--Laurie--began writing this while I was walking out my discipleship journey with my mentor, Carolyn. I take the lessons she taught me, sprinkle additional ones God has brought me through over the years, and invite you to join me on the journey. We explore things like how to listen to God, lament, what to do with temptation, how to process shame, Core Needs, and lots more. This is literally the book I wish I had been able to walk through when I was wrestling the most with my sexuality. It is zero percent conversion therapy. It is all the gospel's good news for my version of broken sexuality, too. This study is meant to be done in mentorship pairs, groups, or on your own. If you have been wishing/hoping/praying for a tangible something disciple-y to do with someone or as someone who experiences broken sexuality similarly to the way I do, this is our gift to you. Practically, here is the gift I can offer you! FOR PODCAST LISTENERS starting now to the end of January 2020, order the book and videos on our site--using the code PODCAST, and get it all for $19.99. The episode today explores more of the how, why, and what of the book (with Matt interviewing me!). Thanks for caring about this decade-long work of my heart. Love you, guys.   //:Highlights: “I said to God, ‘If I make it through this hell season . . . I’d love an opportunity to talk to even one other person who is even a half-step behind me.’ And I started writing.” --Laurie Krieg “This is not gay-to-straight sort of reparative therapy junk. This is: Can you walk into this third, middle, suffering-well path—with whatever version of broken sexuality you have--and can you encounter God there?" --Laurie Krieg "We Can. Not. Do. This. Without you. Ruthlessly eliminate sin in your life. Ruthlessly eliminate shame. Shred that. Start a group with your friends--whether it’s a Journey Well group or whatever ... Get in. Come shoulder-to-shoulder with us." --Laurie Krieg //: Question of the Week for Next Week: What are you nerdy about? //: Do the Next Thing: ​Find that book and corresponding videos here. ​If you just want to Amazon it, find it here.
