What do you do when someone you love is living a gay lifestyle — and you watch them die from it? In this raw and deeply personal episode, Janet Boynes sits down with Richard Harris, Executive Director of Truth and Liberty (an Andrew Wommack Ministries outreach), for a conversation that goes far beyond headlines and policy debates. Richard and his twin brother John grew up in a home marked by extreme poverty, alcoholism, and an emotionally distant father. John always felt compared, rejected, and overlooked — and Richard only learned after John's death how deep that wound ran. John died of AIDS at 34, coming to faith in Christ in his final days in the hospital. Richard and Janet — who lost her own brother to AIDS in 1999 — open up about what it means to love a gay family member without compromising God's word, and without losing them either. In this conversation you will hear: How childhood rejection and a lack of affirmation can shape sexual identity What Richard wishes he had said and done differently with his brother Why John stayed in the gay lifestyle even after his AIDS diagnosis — and what finally changed How loneliness drives people into and keeps them in homosexuality The conversion therapy ban in Colorado and what was at stake at the Supreme Court How Truth and Liberty responded to the assassination of Charlie Kirk — including snipers on the roof A closing word of encouragement for anyone struggling with same-sex attraction This is the kind of honest, compassionate conversation the church desperately needs to have. Whether you have a family member living a gay lifestyle, or you are personally wrestling with same-sex attraction, this episode will meet you with truth and love.
