How Sexual Confusion Takes Root — and the Way Out | Dr. J & Floyd Godfrey

Can people change patterns of sexual attraction and behavior? Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse sits down with Dr. Floyd Godfrey—clinical sexologist and Christian counselor—to explore the deep emotional roots of sexual confusion, same-sex attraction, and pornography addiction. With over 20 years of experience, Dr. Godfrey unpacks how trauma, attachment wounds, and unmet relational needs can shape a person’s sexual development—and how healing is possible.

Dr. Godfrey explains why so many struggling with unwanted sexual feelings are not “born that way,” but rather shaped by life experiences that can be understood and resolved through compassionate, faith-based care. They also tackle the controversies surrounding “conversion therapy,” what the APA gets wrong, and why efforts to silence therapy options are a threat to both science and religious liberty.

Whether you are a parent, pastor, counselor, or someone looking for clarity and hope, this episode offers a path of understanding rooted in truth, science, and Christian love. You'll also hear about Dr. Godfrey’s healing workbook for young men dealing with sexualized attachments—an invaluable resource for those seeking to restore their God-given identity and wholeness.
