Navigate the complex journey of same-sex attraction as a Christian with grace, faith, and self-acceptance. For Christian men grappling with same-sex attraction, reconciling faith and sexuality can feel like an impossible battle. Many devout Christians experience intense internal conflict when their same-sex attractions clash with their deeply held religious beliefs. This struggle can lead to shame, isolation, and fear of rejection from their faith communities and society at large. With a lack of resources that address both spiritual convictions and sexual feelings, men can be left without an option to navigate the complicated path of sexuality. In Walk by Faith, Not by Sexuality, board-certified Christian therapist Terry Reese and seasoned minister Scott Beyer offer a compassionate and practical approach to this complex issue. Reese, drawing from his professional expertise and personal experience with same-sex attraction, introduces the Faith-Based Acceptance, Abstinence, Congruency & Practice (FB-AACP) Therapy protocol. Beyer, with over two decades of preaching and counseling experience, contributes his insights on how Christian men can live in peace and congruence with their faith, rooted in biblical teachings. This innovative framework provides readers with: ¿A path to self-acceptance and reduced shame while maintaining their faith. ¿Strategies for developing healthy masculinity and nonsexual male friendships. ¿Insights into navigating relationships and Christian living with same-sex attraction. ¿Practical tools for managing sexual urges and living in alignment with God and the Bible. ¿Guidance for church communities on creating supportive environments for those with same-sex attraction. This book goes beyond simplistic condemnation or full acceptance of a gay identity, offering a nuanced, middle-ground approach. Reese's and Beyer's unique blend of personal story, psychological insight, and biblical wisdom provides a road map for readers seeking to live authentically while honoring their faith. For Christians struggling with same-sex attraction, Walk by Faith, Not by Sexuality offers hope, healing, and a way forward in their life and soul journeys.
