About this episode

Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”

What happens when a young Catholic man wonders if he might be gay after developing a deep friendship with another guy? This question opens the door to a profound exploration of identity, desire, and our ultimate purpose as human beings.

The cultural narrative tells us we are defined by our attractions and feelings—that they represent our immutable identity. But what if there's something deeper? What if our attractions, even when they feel confusing or overwhelming, are actually pointing us toward something greater?

Download the Claymore Battle Plan at jp2renewed.org and go to the resources link. Join a movement of young men reclaiming territory for Christ by fostering a culture of authentic love. Your journey begins not with a label, but with the profound truth that you are made for more than this world can offer.

Read the Article: Am I Gay? Discovering Your True Identity in Christ 

Take Action: This week, spend 15 minutes in Adoration or pray with Matthew 6:33, asking, “Jesus, who am I to You?” Journal your thoughts. Then, connect with a Claymore Disciple, friend, or priest, to share your journey—you’re stronger together.

Reflection Questions:

· How does being a beloved child of God shape your view of yourself?

· How can the Eucharist help you align your desires with God’s plan?

· Who can you lean on to live the Church’s teaching with courage and joy?

Scripture Referenced: Matt 22:23-33, Rev 19:7, Rev 21:5, Eph 5:25-32, Gal 3:28 and the Catechism of the Catholic Church 2357 and 2358
