Women and Same-Sex Attachments: Longing for a True Home by Ellen Mary Dykas

“It began as an innocent friendship—at least I thought so. I admired her: a strong kind, beautiful woman. I didn’t think of it as sexual; I just wanted closeness, to be wanted. My desires deepened, and the emotional boundaries blurred. I thought about her constantly, craved her attention, and was jealous when others were close to her. One day, a casual touch from her felt electrifying— and terrifying. What was this feeling? Was I physically attracted to her? It went no further physically, and I put some space between us, but I felt hooked . . . entangled emotionally in something unhealthy and dangerous. -A. C. (former women’s discipleship group member)”Today’s episode from Ellen Mary Dykas walks us through her experience of ministering to countless women who have wrestled with unhealthy and sinful same-sex attachments. She helpfully lays out a wide range of heart postures and behaviors that indicate when attachment has veered into sinful territory. She also clarifies what godly attachments involve, ending with a hope-filled way forward for repentance in God-honoring relationships.Read along with today’s article here → https://harvestusa.org/women-and-same-sex-attachments-longing-for-a-true-home/--📣 Giveaway! 📣During the month of February, we’re giving away five copies of Sex in a Broken World: How Christ Redeems What Sin Distorts by Paul David Tripp.Click here to enter for a chance to win this excellent title: https://gleam.io/MaynL/sex-in-a-broken-world-giveawayEntries close on February 28.
