Anne Edward - A Story Of Hope and a Longing Fulfilled {Eps 93}

Do you ever feel that if you stop praying for your loved one they won't come to know Jesus or that God will stop pursuing your child?  In today's Bridge Between Us episode, author and Executive Director of Restored Hope Network, Anne Edward, is joining Melinda Patrick.  Anne has a story that hopefully will allow parents to take a deep breath and rest as they continue to trust Jesus for the outcome of their loved one.  Melinda and Anne also talk about the importance of community and how you can find that through Restored Hope Network.   Anne Edward--formerly Anne Paulk--is the executive director and a board member of Restored Hope Network which is a coalition of over 50 ministries, pastors, spiritual mentors, and licensed therapists in the U.S. supporting individuals who are dealing with unwanted LGBT issues in their lives and who want to align with their values. Anne left lesbianism years ago because she wanted to align with her faith and found greater meaning, identity, emotional, and relational thriving than in her prior experience. For decades, she has advocated for men and women who are in various stages of dealing with unwanted same-sex attractions through writing books, articles, and giving radio, TV, and print interviews. Some of these included Oprah, Good Morning America, The Gospel Coalition, Focus on the Family, FamilyTalk, Newsweek, People, CBS Evening News, Coral Ridge, the 700 Club, and the Brad Dacus Show.   To connect with Anne Edward: Restored Hope Network   To connect with Melinda Patrick: www.melindapatrick.org   Discount code for RHN Hope 2025 - Bridge25  (**Code expires on May 9. 2025)   More information regarding RHN Hope 2025 watch parties: RHN watch parties   Prior episodes mentioned: Andrew Rodriguez Gretchen Stockman Dean Greer with Living Waters Kathy Grace Duncan with Portland Fellowship
