Episode Eighty Six - A Need-Greater In The Dominican Republic

"In a way I felt like I was better than everyone else in the world, because I knew the truth. I was one of the few that was going to be saved at Armageddon, but at the same time I felt like I was worthless because no matter what I did it was never enough, and I could never truly compensate for being gay. That was never going to go away and I couldn't do anything about it. So I felt worthless and better than everyone else at the same time." – Patrick The songs that Patrick chose to represent his story are Let It Go by Idina Menzel and How Far I'll Go from Auli'i Cravalho Support the show by donating to the cause on our Patreon page, Patreon.com/shunned Are you struggling in some area of life?
