From addiction and living out (or acting on) same sex attraction to redeemed by Christ

Haley lived both lives… and one nearly destroyed her.

For years, Haley Burns walked a double life, faith on the outside, chaos on the inside.

Same-sex attraction. Pornography. Alcohol. Shame. Suicidal thoughts.

She tried everything the world said would make her feel free… but instead, she felt like her spirit was suffocating.

Then one moment changed everything.

This is a raw, honest conversation about identity, addiction, grief, and what it actually looks like to come back to Jesus Christ when you feel completely lost.

If you’ve ever felt stuck between who you are and who you want to be… this episode is for you.
