Importance of Context and Understanding
When counseling individuals struggling with same-sex attraction, it is crucial to remember the context of the conversation. Engaging in angry debates or social media rants is not helpful when someone is seeking guidance and support. Instead, approach the conversation as a friend or shepherd, seeking to understand their personal struggles rather than just focusing on the issue itself.
