In today’s episode of Calibrate Conversations, Brady responds to a deeply honest email from a young Christian man who left the gay lifestyle and is now wrestling with a difficult question:
“If most of my past sexual sin involved homosexual desires, can I still pursue marriage to a woman? And how do I know if I’ll ever feel enough attraction?”
Brady shares his personal journey through same-sex attraction, surrendering his sexuality to Christ, rejecting identity labels, and discovering a biblical vision of marriage—not as a cure, but as a sacred covenant designed by God.
Topics discussed:
🔹 Why marriage can’t be your hope—Christ must be.
🔹 The dangers of idolizing marriage OR rejecting it completely.
🔹 Do you need strong sexual attraction to pursue a godly marriage?
🔹 How intimacy grows biblically—through knowledge, trust, commitment, and sacrifice.
🔹 Encouragement for men and women who feel unqualified or broken because of their past.
This conversation isn’t just for those with same-sex attraction—it’s for any Christian trying to understand marriage, desire, holiness, and God’s design.
