Descripción

Where can I find peace when my son or daughter has come out as LGBTQ+? Many Christian parents in this situation wrestle with a torrent of emotions and questions. In such tumultuous waters, peace might feel impossible, especially when there’s no obvious path to “fixing” the situation ourselves. Yet the Bible offers an alternative path to peace. The tried and true habit of prayer before the face of God. Today’s episode from Joan McConnell explores why prayer is powerful to producing peace in the heart of a believer, even when their circumstances don’t change. She shares why prayer matters so much to God, what He is seeking to teach us through prayer, and how prayer not only produces peace, but also strength and comfort in the believer’s continued walk with the Lord. If you’re feeling anything but peace in your situation, this article will comfort, challenge, and encourage you.

Your Body Is Not for Sale: Helping Young Men Resist Self-Objectification by Stephen Moss

Men are racing to objectify themselves. Whether they’re looking for affirmation, clout, sexual gratification, or an extra buck, young men see the opportunity to objectify themselves on social media or platforms like OnlyFans as too good to pass up. Today’s episode from Stephen Moss calls young men to understand the purpose and dignity of their bodies. After exploring the temptations of our cultural moment and the spiritual roots that drive it, Stephen calls young men to consider Christ’s purpose for their bodies and the wonder that Christ’s shed his precious blood to redeem their whole person, soul and body.

What Should You Look for in a Local Church? by Mark Sanders

Harvest USA is a unique place. The topics of discussion, the raw honesty of sharing, and the incredible sense of safety are not always what people experience walking into their local churches. If you’re struggling with sexual sin and looking to join a local church, what should you look for? Today’s episode from Mark Sanders offers five points to consider as you evaluate churches for their approach to caring for, discipling, and helping people struggling with sexual sin. No church is perfect, and any helpful discipleship in these areas will require initiative on our part, but churches that are faithfully displaying the qualities shared in today's episode can be great options to join as you pursue sexual integrity.

The Transgender Trend: Is It Over? by Mark Sanders

On October 14, 2025, Matt Walsh posted on X, “Transgenderism is effectively over. We destroyed it. Clearest and most decisive cultural win that conservatives have ever achieved.” But does the data really show that young people are rapidly abandoning these labels and identities? On today’s episode Harvest USA President Mark Sanders takes a closer look at the cultural moment. He challenges us to look past cultural narratives to remember the suffering our brothers and sisters with loved ones embracing transgender identities are facing. Finally, he calls the church to stand fearlessly for God’s truth without losing our zeal to reach the lost, knowing that whatever opposition we face, we’ve been given a kingdom that cannot be shaken (Hebrews 12:28).
