Focus on the Family's Web-based magazine for college students, Boundless, recently featured the stories of two Christians (staff members of Exodus International) who detail their own struggle to reconcile their spirituality with their sexuality.

Randy Thomas, Executive Vice President for Exodus International, details his remarkable 15-year journey from a liberal gay- identified man to a conservative Christian in the article, "Same-Sex Attraction." He notes his own spiritual journey as well as the lessons he has learned about God's powerful love for every individual. Read it at

Mike Ensley, who serves in the Exodus Student Ministries division, writes about the reality of someone who struggles with same-sex attraction even after choosing to follow Christ in "Still Struggling with Same-Sex Attraction." He offers practical tips on dealing with the issue and concludes with a hopeful message, "There's nothing worth missing our abundant life in Christ for. And there's too much we don't know to waste time neglecting what we do know. Start being the person you want to be,
and making the choices you've always wished you would make." Read it at http://www.boundless.org/2005/articles/a0001447.cfm
