In today's episode, not only does Patti Height share the riveting 'next chapter' of her story, but she also answers one of the most asked questions we receive from parents, family, and friends: "How can we best minister to those in the LGBTQ community with grace and truth?"

Listen in and discover:

*God's heart for your loved one

*ways to minister to the one in front of you

*why pressing into Jesus for your joy is not just important to you but also to your loved one

Patti Height is a gifted communicator of the gospel of Jesus Christ. She is passionate about the word of God and seeing Jesus set people free. Through her own personal experience of secretly identifying as gay in her heart and mind at twelve and then coming out in her twenties, then getting radically and miraculously saved at 36, she has seen the hand of God at work in a very personal way. In 2012 Patti founded Out Of Egypt ministries, where she travels the country and internationally, in churches, high schools, colleges and other venues, equipping Christians to bring the gospel, via grace and truth, to the LGBT+ community.

Those who experience same-sex attraction or gender confusion aren't the only ones who fall into the trap of the Enemie's lies.

Our guest today, Patti Height, is all too familiar with the bondage that comes from believing and living in the deception of homosexuality.

Do you ever feel that if you stop praying for your loved one they won't come to know Jesus or that God will stop pursuing your child?

In today's Bridge Between Us episode, author and Executive Director of Restored Hope Network, Anne Edward, is joining Melinda Patrick.

Anne has a story that hopefully will allow parents to take a deep breath and rest as they continue to trust Jesus for the outcome of their loved one.

Melinda and Anne also talk about the importance of community and how you can find that through Restored Hope Network.

Anne Edward--formerly Anne Paulk--is the executive director and a board member of Restored Hope Network which is a coalition of over 50 ministries, pastors, spiritual mentors, and licensed therapists in the U.S. supporting individuals who are dealing with unwanted LGBT issues in their lives and who want to align with their values.

Anne left lesbianism years ago because she wanted to align with her faith and found greater meaning, identity, emotional, and relational thriving than in her prior experience. For decades, she has advocated for men and women who are in various stages of dealing with unwanted same-sex attractions through writing books, articles, and giving radio, TV, and print interviews. Some of these included Oprah, Good Morning America, The Gospel Coalition, Focus on the Family, FamilyTalk, Newsweek, People, CBS Evening News, Coral Ridge, the 700 Club, and the Brad Dacus Show.
