In this episode, Dr. Lucas Wilson shares his experience in surviving conversion therapy. Growing up in evangelical Christianity Lucas struggled to accept his queerness. Overwhelmed with shame, he signed up for conversion therapy at the fundamentalist Christian Liberty University he was a student at. Lucas shares the details of the practices he had to go through, his journey of coming out and accepting his gayness, and his work in helping Christians reconcile their faith and sexuality.
About Me
I’m George Lizos, spiritual teacher, psychic healer, and #1 bestselling author. Growing up in a small Christian community, I was judged and rejected for being gay and different. After a futile two-year attempt to change who I was born to be, I called myself a human abomination and almost took my own life. Fortunately, in my darkest moment, I saw the light and ventured on a healing journey of love, forgiveness, and spiritual awakening.
Yet, my gay dating life since hasn’t always been all roses and rainbows, and my past dramas and traumas have definitely kept things spicy. Fast forward past many awkward dates and disappointing sex, I Created Can’t Host to challenge toxic gay stereotypes, explore the complex dynamics of gay sex and relationships, and create opportunities for healing and growth. https://georgelizos.com/
