 Episode notes 
From Secret Life To Surrender
- Brady grew up feeling different, entered the gay community, then surrendered to Christ in college and began a long discipleship journey.
- He found identity, value, and power over desires through Scripture, community, and the Holy Spirit.
Instant Deliverance Often Harms
- Deliverance ministry often promises instant fixes and sets unrealistic expectations for change.
- When the instant change fails, people hide struggles and become hopeless or disillusioned with faith.
Discipleship Over Quick Fixes
- Walk with people long-term in community rather than expecting quick fixes or silence.
- Provide honest accountability, gospel application, and patient discipleship for ongoing change.
