S04 E10: Edwin Valles on Same Sex Attraction and the Courage to Follow God's Plan for Sexuality

EDWIN VALLES is the president of Courage Philippines, a Catholic apostolate for persons with same sex attraction, which provides a safe place to live chaste lives faithful to the teachings of the Church. His choice to follow the Lord is truly an inspiring story.

In this episode, we talked about his faith journey from living a gay lifestyle to knowing Christ and accepting God's plan for our sexuality. We also talked about why using labels such as "gay", or "lesbian", draws us away from living our true identity, which is, a child of God. Know how to connect with Courage Philippines if you're a person with same-sex attraction, or Encourage Philippines if you're a friend/family of someone who has one.
