A Catholic Response to LGBT Identity and Chastity: Hudson Byblow’s Path to Peace | Dr. J Show ep 283

The Ruth Institute Podcast - A podcast by Dr Jennifer Roback Morse

Categories:

The narrative promoted by pro-gay activists is that sexual orientation is fixed, immutable, and that efforts to change it are both futile and harmful. In this interview, Hudson Byblow offers a deeply personal and thoughtful counterpoint to that claim. He describes how emotional wounds, unmet childhood needs, and confusion about belonging contributed to the development of his same-sex desires. His testimony reveals that identity is more than a label and that healing is possible through love, truth, and authentic relationships.   Byblow speaks candidly about how chastity and Catholic teaching did not restrict his life but instead opened a pathway to peace and interior freedom. He unpacks the ways in which early experiences of isolation and a longing for male friendship became entangled with sexual attraction. Rather than feeling condemned by the Church, he was embraced by faithful Catholics who walked with him patiently, helping him to see his dignity not as something he created, but as something he received from God.   Throughout the conversation, Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse provides thoughtful questions and pastoral insight that help frame Hudson’s story within the broader struggle of many who experience same-sex attraction. The discussion challenges prevailing cultural assumptions while offering encouragement for anyone seeking hope, healing, and holiness. It’s a conversation that testifies to the transforming power of truth told in love.   Watch Part 1 here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_o11j1YzcjA     Subscribe to our newsletter to get this amazing report: Refuting the Top 5 Gay Myths https://ruthinstitute.org/refute-the-top-five-myths/   Watch the full episode on censorship-free Rumble or Locals: Rumble: https://rumble.com/v6t6m2n-hudson-byblows-story-will-deepen-your-faith-a-catholic-witness-of-healing-a.html Locals: https://theruthinstitute.locals.com/post/6917798/hudson-byblows-story-will-deepen-your-faith-a-catholic-witness-of-healing-hope     Hudson Byblow is a Catholic Speaker and author who specializes in training faithful Catholics how they can respond to all things LGBTQ+ in an authentically Catholic way.
