[ep 117] After graduating college, Laurie Krieg, someone who has experienced attractions toward her same gender from a young age, felt like she was faced with two choices: End her life or come out as a lesbian atheist. In the midst of this soul-shredding decision, she prayed a prayer, “God? If I make it through this, will you please help me to be a voice of hope for even one other person?” The result of that prayer is this ministry.

Laurie now teaches around the country—exhorting all believers in Jesus to surrender their whole lives to Him (including their version of broken sexuality), link arms with each other, and make disciples.

Laurie most often links arms with her husband, Matt Krieg, a therapist and the director of Caring Well Counseling. Together, they wrote a book called An Impossible Marriage: What Our Mixed-Orientation Marriage Has Taught Us about Love and the Gospel. They also co-host The Hole in My Heart Podcast, and enjoy life with their three kids in Michigan.

Laurie tells her story which is simply incredible. This is an episode that is just so full of hope. It will also alter some paradigms you have about marriage and sex. I think Laurie and Matt have some amazing insights into both and you can learn a lot from their story.
