Ep. 12 - Conversion Therapy Speed Dating w/ Luke Wilson

from Growing Up Christian · host Casey Greseth

There's something... unsettling about a confessional, don't you think? Like, why is this old fuddy duddy so interested in the sordid details of your "slip-ups?" What's that rustling sound? Why does it smell like a Jimmy John's in here, all of a sudden? Did I step in gum? So many questions!   Our guest, this week, is Luke Wilson, and he's on a mission to end to "gay conversion therapy." Luke is a Liberty University graduate working towards his PhD, and has written extensively about the mental, emotional, and spiritual toll that four years of conversion therapy took on him. He has worked diligently to shine a light on the harmful and dangerous practices employed by people like the recently-retired Dane Emerick, who oversaw the program at LU. Follow Luke on twitter (@wilson_FW) and Instagram (@LukeSlamDunkWilson), and be sure to check out his articles on the subject!   If you haven't joined our Discord, yet, come on in! https://discord.gg/7vQYRdxs
