- Ellen Radcliff, a therapist and the author of the forthcoming book: Love Covers Over: A Guide for Christian Parents Raising Kids in an LGBTQ+ World. Ellen channels her love for God, her clinical expertise, and her experience as a former lesbian to walk alongside individuals, couples, and families as they navigate the nuances of sex, sexuality, and gender in our modern world, while remaining rooted in their faith.
In this conversation, we talk about her journey in faith and sexuality, the fluidity of female sexuality, and about healthy ways to parent LGBTQ kids. Learn more about Ellen's ministries: Strength in Weakness Ministries, Home from Home Podcast, and Heart Set Above.

I do not understand how Christian’s in good conscience can use someone’s “preferred pronouns”. Eventually a line must be drawn in the sand with this nonsense. We are not talking about a different flavors of preferred ice cream here. We are talking about twisting the fabric of reality and undermining God’s creation. To use someone’s preferred pronouns is to enable their fantasy. Truth must be spoken in love.
How does a non-believer like JK Rowling see this more clearly than believers who know the truth of God’s Word?
The church mostly has not recognized the state of where things are at and what we are living in. This is an avalanche of change that has happened over 20 years, when in the early 2000’s Hilary Clinton was saying homosexual marriage was wrong!!
We need to wake up and start speaking with courage. This cannot continue.
I identified as a lesbian for 35 years. After accepting Christ as my Savior, He has over time revealed to me that my SSA was born from a place of brokenness. In the beginning it wasn’t so much that I found women sexually attractive but instead I had been so hurt by the men in my life the thought of intimacy with a man caused such great fear and feelings of disgust towards myself. I was a self mutilator and attempted suicide 9 times before I had turned 21. I thought there was something seriously wrong with me, that I gave off a vibe telling men that it was ok to take what they wanted. I did not believe I had the right to say “No!” I desperately needed to believe my life had worth but had been raised that my worth was found only in another’s “love” for me. There is a natural attraction we all have for others of the same gender. This is evident in our friendships. In my brokenness and out of my need to be accepted and to be loved, I perverted the natural for the unnatural. Only after my first SSA encounter did I say to myself, “Oh! OK, I now understand!”! From one pleasant experience, I came to believe I was a lesbian. So…for the next 35 years I believed the lies I had told myself.
She should speak up Preston and tell people. They can work out their discomfort.
You said it's misogynistic when people don't know what your wife does bc she is "like the CEO of both" the CFSG and Theology in the Raw and refer to her as your "boss." Yet all of your websites feature multiple pictures of you, your bio, your titles, and only the CFSG lists your wife as holding any position - that of Vice President, which would not be the "boss" of you, the President. If your wife is actually the CEO of both orgs and you want to dismantle misogyny, PROMOTE HER.
They should speak up. People can work out their discomfort.
I love ya'll! People are silly!
You know what sweet lady, I would have bowed out. They can keep their complentarianism and their foolishness. I am sorry, that stuff and foolishness is ridiculous. It's time to start letting them know or it won't change.
