Healing from Abuse as a Gay Latter-day Saint - Review of Preston's Book

Send us Fan MailOn his first mission in Asia, Preston experienced the unthinkable: he was sexually and emotionally abused by a companion. Returning home early, he dealt with clinical PTSD, depression, and was understandably bitter toward God. Preston wrote about his experience of healing through Christ's atonement in his new book, "This Boy and His Mother"—the title coming from a quote in Elder Holland's conference talk, "Behold Thy Mother," in which he detailed some of Preston's story.   On today's episode, we talk about Preston's experience, the book, and some of the key lessons he learned in the healing process. You can purchase Preston's book here:https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B59HFQLJIf you enjoyed this episode, please leave us a 5-star review on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or whatever platform you use. Subscribe to your YouTube Channel!https://youtube.com/channel/UCQLkj5TX9vqhibqdj8yi0RgFollow us on Instagramhttps://instagram.com/sitdownwithsky?utm_medium=copy_linkFollow us on Twitterhttps://twitter.com/sitdownwithsky?s=21All of our links:https://linktr.ee/SitdownwithskyOn this podcast, we are faith-affirming first.
