From same-sex attractions, porn, drinking, and being bullied…to dating, retreats, and encountering God in the Eucharist – AJ’s story is very real and very inspiring. Read about his journey of faith as he realizes that God has been pursuing his heart, even in the midst of the everyday trials and triumphs of his life.  

This powerful testimony stands in contrast to many of the cultural expectations and generalizations that are placed on youth that experience same-sex attraction. AJ is a brother in the faith that encourages and challenges every teenager – regardless of their experience of sexuality – to live God’s greater plan for their life.
