| | | | | | Key to Your Child's Heart Father's Healing Weekend
November 17-19, 2023
This weekend provides fathers of same-sex attracted or LGBT-identified children the opportunity to connect with other dads that are in the same position, and learn together how they can rise up and face the challenges that affect their families and children. Fathers will gain great insight into their child’s needs by learning, growing, and taking part in group activities with each other during this interactive weekend. Dads will be empowered by understanding how their own background has influenced parenting styles, while at the same time, realizing how they can lead their children and family into a healthier future. This weekend away is set at a beautiful country farmhouse retreat in rural Maryland. Our small group of fathers is a safe place to process, learn, and heal. Dads will leave with answers, tools, techniques, and hope! |

In this interview, Christopher Doyle talks about his observations of the clients he meets, especially in terms of the in-congruency between their faith and their feelings. He talks about how the Institute for Healthy Families helps its clients discover who they are as people in the eyes of God and in their self-view, whilst helping them understand both the fluidity of sexuality, and the factors which can influence the development of sexuality in a climate where major psychological bodies are seeing this as a taboo topic.

Brinton's sister says family was 'slandered,' never sent him to get 'conversion therapy'
The family of Sam Brinton — former high-level Biden nuclear-waste appointee, alleged luggage-stealer and self-described "gender-fluid bisexual" — is finally speaking out publicly to debunk what they say are lies he told about them.
"Former Biden Department of Energy official Sam Brinton claims to have been beaten by their [his] father, who held a gun to their [his] head and forced them [him] into [ex-gay] conversion therapy — but their [his] family insist it is all lies," reported the New York Post Feb. 19, using Brinton's "preferred pronouns" of "they/them."

| | Ex-gays respond to Andy Stanley’s claim that LGBT people have ‘more faith than a lot of you’
Christians who once identified as homosexual have mixed opinions about recent remarks made by Pastor Andy Stanley, in which the megachurch leader said that LGBT individuals who go to church have “more faith than a lot of you.”
Christopher Doyle, a professional counselor and executive director of the Institute for Healthy Families, told The Christian Post that, because the full sermon is not easily accessible online, Stanley’s “words leave me with more questions than answers.” “I appreciate Pastor Stanley's compassion for Christians struggling with sexual and gender identity. As a young man, I experienced unwanted same-sex attractions and having a safe place surrounded by loving, embracing Christians would have really helped me on my healing journey,” said Doyle.
