Perhaps you, too, have same-sex attractions and wrestle with fears of rejection or judgement as you try to build new friendships with other men or women. Or maybe you wonder how to tell if you're truly desiring friendship or unconsciously hoping to get closer to someone you find attractive.

You're not alone, and in this podcast, Josh unpacks these emotions and the complexities they bring to developing male relationships.

Listen in as we explore questions like these alongside the thoughtful listener who wrote in.

Josh shares insights and experiences and most importantly, he offers hope.

Undeniably, fear, shame, and insecurities can be major roadblocks when trying to foster healthy same-sex friendships. But what if we told you that it's both possible and important to navigate through these barriers?

It's crucial to not let the possibility of rejection or falling overshadow your need for genuine connection with other men or women.
