In Season 2, Episode 12 of the Renewed and Transformed Podcast, host Kyla Gillespie welcomes author and speaker Gregory Coles for a thoughtful and deeply encouraging conversation on faith, same-sex attraction, biblical singleness, and belonging in the Church.
Greg vulnerably shares his journey of growing up in a Christian home, discovering his same-sex attraction at a young age, wrestling with theology and identity, and ultimately embracing a life of celibacy rooted in his conviction about biblical marriage. Together, Kyla and Greg explore what it means to follow Jesus wholeheartedly without being “disqualified” by sexual struggles—and how the Church can become a place of true family, intimacy, and grace.
This episode offers biblical clarity, pastoral wisdom, and hope for Christians navigating LGBTQ+ questions, sexual identity, singleness, and discipleship.
Key Highlights:
-Greg’s Story: Growing up Christian, discovering same-sex attraction, and wrestling honestly with Scripture.
-Is Change Promised? Addressing the myth that faith guarantees heterosexuality.
-Celibacy & Calling: Rediscovering the beauty, dignity, and purpose of biblical singleness.
-Parents & Shame: Why parents are not to blame—and what research actually suggests.
-Belonging in the Church: How Christian community can cultivate vulnerability, intimacy, and spiritual family.
-Engaging LGBTQ+ Neighbors: Practical, compassionate ways to reflect Christ outside the Church.
-Discipleship Without Disqualification: Why no one is beyond the invitation of Jesus.
Whether you are personally navigating same-sex attraction, walking alongside someone who is, parenting through identity questions, or seeking to build a more compassionate and biblically faithful church culture, this episode provides thoughtful, grace-filled guidance grounded in Scripture.
