In this powerful episode, Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse, founder of the Ruth Institute and author of The Sexual State: How Elite Ideologies Are Destroying Lives, joins the show from the Change Movement conference in California. The conversation centers around individuals who have left behind LGBTQ lifestyles and identities, often after profound encounters with faith and community.
Dr. Morse describes the testimonies of several people who spoke on the steps of the California State Capitol—stories marked by deep personal transformation, a longing for family, and spiritual awakening. The discussion also touches on the societal shift in attitudes toward sexuality and gender over recent decades, the role of media in shaping cultural norms, and the challenges of speaking out in today's environment.
She reflects on the early capture of institutions like the American Psychological Association by activist ideologies and explains how recent developments—especially around the transgender movement—are causing some to reconsider what was once seen as a “settled” cultural narrative.

Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse, founder of the Ruth Institute, joins Father Jack to discuss the Institute’s recent involvement in a major Supreme Court case on counseling freedom. She explains the arguments behind their amicus brief challenging Colorado’s ban on “conversion therapy” and highlights the broader implications for free speech, religious liberty, and therapeutic choice.
Dr. Morse also takes a critical look at the Trevor Project, a well-funded LGBTQ youth organization, raising concerns about its influence, federal funding, and online platforms. Tune in for a compelling conversation about the intersection of law, culture, and the future of family advocacy.

Key Points: 1. Supreme Court Case and Amicus Brief:Dr. Morse and the Ruth Institute filed an amicus brief in a Supreme Court case challenging a Colorado law banning so-called "conversion therapy."
The brief was submitted under the title “Brief of Sexual Orientation Scholars in Support of Petitioners.”
The case involves a Christian therapist claiming the law restricts her religious and professional freedom.
The Ruth Institute argues that bans on such therapy suppress alternative therapeutic approaches and violate rights of both therapists and clients.
Father Paul Sullins provided statistical critiques in the brief, and Morse contributed case studies and analysis questioning assumptions about sexuality, including the claim that people are “born gay.”
2. Critique of the Trevor Project:Morse criticizes the Trevor Project, a suicide prevention group for LGBTQ youth, claiming it is ideologically biased and heavily funded.
She notes that YouTube links the Trevor Project to content critical of LGBTQ identities, labeling alternatives like conversion therapy as harmful.
Morse supports the Trump administration’s decision to withdraw federal funding from the Trevor Project, redirecting it to general suicide prevention efforts.
Concerns were raised about the Trevor Project’s online community features, which critics have described as vulnerable to abuse. Morse references critiques from “Gays Against Groomers” and the California Family Council.
3. Underlying Themes:The conversation strongly critiques mainstream LGBTQ support structures and what Morse and the Ruth Institute view as coercive or ideologically driven policies.
Emphasis is placed on the rights of therapists and clients to explore identity and trauma without mandated affirming approaches.

Can people really leave behind same-sex attraction? Kimberly Zember says yes—and that claim alone makes her a controversial figure. But as she shares with Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse, her story is not about politics or slogans—it’s about a soul seeking truth, stumbling through pain, and ultimately finding peace in Christ.
Raised Catholic but lacking a clear picture of God’s love, Kimberly lived a double life for years—dating women in secret, wrestling with fear and isolation, and seeking help from those who too often offered affirmation instead of truth. Despite the confusion and the failures, she never stopped searching for something more than feelings or labels could offer.
Kimberly’s refusal to reduce herself to an identity—whether lesbian, missionary, or even “religious”—points to a deeper Christian anthropology: our actions do not define our essence. Through her testimony, she invites us to consider what it really means to live as a child of God in a culture that pushes us to define ourselves by our desires.

In this powerful interview, Fr. Rob Jack speaks with Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse, founder of the Ruth Institute and author of The Sexual State: How Elite Ideologies Are Destroying Lives and Why the Church Was Right All Along. Together, they unpack the devastating effects of the sexual revolution—from no-fault divorce and the redefinition of marriage, to gender ideology and surrogacy. Dr. Morse explains how powerful cultural elites have reshaped law, medicine, and education to fit an anti-family agenda—and how the Church offers the antidote.
If you've ever wondered why society seems so confused about sex, family, and identity—or what we can do to rebuild the moral order—this is the conversation you’ve been waiting for.

Why do some people experience same-sex attraction—and how should faithful Christians respond? In this episode of the Dr. J Show, clinical sexologist Floyd Godfrey draws on decades of experience counseling clients who experience same-sex attraction and want to live lives of chastity and integrity.
Dr. Godfrey discusses how trauma, emotional wounds, and unmet developmental needs can shape sexual desires. He explains the difference between a person’s feelings and their identity, and how healing involves both psychological insight and spiritual maturity. Rather than pushing an agenda, he walks us through how real change happens—with honesty, accountability, and deep human connection.
This conversation pushes back on the cultural narrative that says "once gay, always gay," and raises serious questions about efforts to ban talk therapy for those who seek it. If you're a parent, pastor, counselor, or simply someone concerned about the truth and the well-being of others, you won’t want to miss this important episode.

One of the most persistent myths promoted by LGBT advocates is that sexual orientation is fixed and cannot change. Research and clinical experience suggest otherwise.
In this episode of The Dr. J Show, Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse interviews Dr. Floyd Godfrey, a clinical sexologist and Christian counselor with decades of experience helping individuals overcome pornography addiction, unwanted same-sex attraction, and sexualized attachments. Dr. Godfrey explains how many of these issues stem from emotional wounds and disrupted attachment patterns—conditions that are treatable through compassionate, evidence-based therapy.
The discussion explores the concept of sex addiction as an intimacy attachment disorder, the development of the arousal template, and the role that trauma and early relational dynamics play in shaping sexual behaviors. It also contrasts mainstream therapeutic approaches with those rooted in a biblical worldview, showing that faith and science are not at odds when it comes to human sexuality.
Dr. Floyd Godfrey is a seasoned Mental Health Consultant, Speaker, and Educator with over two decades of clinical experience. He offers consulting services to individuals, families, and professionals, addressing complex issues related to mental health and human sexuality. Dr. Godfrey holds credentials as a Clinical Sexologist, Certified Sex Addiction Specialist Supervisor, Certified Christian Counselor, and Certified Mental Health Coach. His educational background includes degrees from Arizona State University, Ottawa University, and the International Institute for Clinical Sexology. Early in his career, he worked at Tempe Social Services with children and facilitated after-school programming, which deepened his understanding of family dynamics and child development. Building on this experience, Dr. Godfrey dedicated over 20 years to developing comprehensive sexual addiction programming for various populations, including adults, couples, young adults, and adolescents. His approach integrates a biblical worldview, blending academic rigor with practical expertise to create impactful interventions for mental health and human sexuality concerns.

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.

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. He is also the founder of Something More Beautiful, a site that helps people understand that just because LGBTQ+ desires/experiences might be part of their story, they are not automatically excluded from holy vocation to holy, chaste marriage.

Hudson Byblow speaks about the Catholic Faith in engaging, personalized, and trauma-informed ways, formed by his own journey of coming home to the Catholic Church – the last place the world said he should ever look! After leaving behind his prior-held “LGBTQ+ is who I am” mindset to in favor of striving to grow in the virtue of chastity, he has come to experience greater peace, joy, hope, love, and freedom than what he ever before knew was possible.
In this conversation, Dr. Jennifer Roback-Morris and Hudson Byblow explores the complexities of identity politics, particularly in relation to LGBT experiences and the Catholic understanding of chastity. Byblow shares his personal journey of reconciling his same-sex attractions with his faith, emphasizing the importance of pursuing virtue and understanding chastity as a transformative process. They discuss the distinctions between chastity, celibacy, and abstinence, and the detrimental effects of resentment on personal growth. The conversation also highlights red flags in discussions surrounding LGBT identities and the importance of seeking a deeper, more fulfilling understanding of one's vocation in life.

AJ Benjamin joins Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse to share a powerful story of healing from same-sex attraction and the deeper wounds that fed it — fatherlessness, confusion, and emotional pain. With honesty and humility, AJ walks us through the trauma he experienced as a child and how it distorted his identity, his relationships, and his view of God. Through years of spiritual growth and personal reflection, he came to see that his deepest needs weren’t about sexuality, but about truth, healing, and belonging.
Together, AJ and Dr. Morse explore how our culture often exploits emotional wounds rather than healing them — especially when it comes to sex, gender, and family life. They speak candidly about the ways trauma can mask itself as identity, and how the loss of strong father figures leaves children vulnerable to false ideologies. At the heart of their conversation is a call to compassion — not the kind that affirms everything, but the kind that loves enough to tell the truth.
This interview is filled with hope. AJ’s story is a testimony to the power of grace, the gift of confession, and the maternal care of Our Lady. His journey reminds us that healing is possible, that God hasn’t given up on us, and that love — real love — always leads us back to truth. Watch, share, and be encouraged.

In this bold and eye-opening episode of Catholic in America, Jason Adkins is joined by Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse, founder of the Ruth Institute, to expose the institutional forces behind the sexual revolution—and how the Church’s teachings are not only relevant, but prophetic.
Dr. Morse, a trained economist and former professor at Yale and George Mason, dives deep into how elite ideologies—disguised as progress—have systematically dismantled family life through no-fault divorce, contraception, and gender ideology. From propaganda in U.S. foreign aid to the ideology embedded in public schools, Dr. Morse explains why the Sexual Revolution is not grassroots—but an elite-driven, top-down campaign of cultural colonization.
Together, Jason and Dr. Morse discuss:
Why the Church has been right all along about sexuality and marriage The myth of “neutral” sexual education and its real agenda How population control and foreign policy shaped feminism and gender ideology Why stories from survivors of the Sexual Revolution are changing the conversation What it means to raise a family in a world ruled by “The Sexual State”Dr. Morse doesn’t hold back—and neither should we. If you’re concerned about the future of children, family, and faith, this conversation is a must-listen.

Dr. J Show Episode 280.
Are people really born gay? Is it true that no one ever changes? And what about those who feel same-sex desires but never act on them—what does healing look like for them?
On this week’s episode of The Dr. J Show, we sit down with AJ Benjamin—a faithful Catholic, husband, father, and counselor—who bravely opens up about his long struggle with same-sex attraction. Though he never acted out sexually, AJ describes the intense emotional and spiritual turmoil that once consumed him… and the radical transformation that followed when he surrendered it all to Christ.
With clarity, humility, and compassion, AJ reveals the family wounds that shaped his identity, the healing power of Our Lady and the sacraments, and how authentic brotherhood helped him rediscover true masculinity. His story will resonate with anyone—Catholic or not—who believes that truth and love go hand in hand.

What if the most “settled science” around abortion was built on sand? In this stirring episode of The Dr. J Show, world-renowned psychologist Dr. Priscilla Coleman exposes the deep flaws behind the much-lauded “Turnaway Study” and shares decades of suppressed research on the psychological toll of abortion.
“At least 30% of women come out of that room... and they're changed. Sometimes to the point of suicide,” she says. It’s a truth our culture refuses to face—but the data, and the stories, are undeniable.
Dr. Coleman and Dr. Morse don’t just speak from data—they speak from the heart. “It wasn’t until I went back to the Catholic Church and went to confession that the night terrors finally stopped,” Dr. Morse shares in a rare moment of personal testimony.
We cannot love women by lying to them. Watch this powerful conversation and discover how the International Institute for Reproductive Loss is arming counselors, lawyers, and pregnancy centers with scientific truth because “science is finally supporting what the Church has always taught.”

Katie McMann and her husband struggled with infertility for years, finally turning to IVF to resolve their infertility. They discovered that not only does IVF not cure infertility, but it also comes with tremendous moral implications, especially in Catholic theology. Katie explains the process she and her husband went through after they learned more about the Catholic perspective on infertility and IVF as well as the origins of their IVF ministry.
Through Shiloh IVF Ministry, Katie helps couples deal with the hardship of infertility, discern what to do with frozen embryonic children, and more.

“Infertility is hard, it is a cross, it is suffering, but we can help each other by recognizing that and choosing things that will lift up humanity instead of introduce so many harms.”
IVF is often sold as a treatment for infertility, and couples who struggle with infertility flock to it. On the surface, it appears to more than adequately deal with the problem, but if you scratch the surface, there are a host of issues that plague the couples, children, and industry. And the funny thing is, IVF doesn’t actually cure infertility. Whatever biological issues caused the infertility will still exist after IVF treatment. Katie McMann discusses her own journey with IVF, the Catholic perspective on IVF, healing from the negative effects of IVF, and setting up a ministry to help people struggling with having used IVF.
Many women experience infertility or impaired fertility at some point in their lives. Some, such as Katie McMann, turn to in vitro fertilzation. Through IVF, she and her husband bore two children, but ten others were lost in the process.
Listen as Katie explains how, as well as reveals her painful realization of the problems with IVF, and how she came to co-found Shiloh IVF Ministry.
“At every stage of IVF, there’s risk to the embryos,” Katie notes, also sharing that some of her embryos didn’t survive the thawing process.
“I tried to say, ‘Oh, they’re just droplets of water. There’s no way they’re life.’ I really tried to tell myself that they weren’t children.”
Through Shiloh IVF Ministry, Katie helps couples deal with the hardship of infertility, discern what to do with frozen embryonic children, and more.
