Welcome to The Strength In Weakness Podcast (Previously Home From Home). Hosted by the Staff of Strength In Weakness Ministries, this podcast is bridging the gap between the Christian & LGBT Communities.
A Christian parent asked: does my teenager need to confess their same-sex attraction to the people they're studying the Bible with? Ellen and Morgan tackle this question with honesty and grace — making the key distinction between temptation and sin, why sharing our struggles with safe people brings relief instead of shame, and how isolation makes temptation feel stronger while bringing it into the light sets us free.
Our goal is to offer a framework for these difficult moments. You will learn how to listen well, keep lines of communication open, and trust God with your child's long-term faith journey. Whether you are currently walking this path or want to be prepared to support someone else, this episode provides a compassionate space to process the reality of family dynamics.

How to Keep Going When You're Running on Empty
In this episode of The Strength In Weakness Podcast, Ellen and Morgan both showed up to record this episode depleted. Instead of scrapping it, they decided to do something more valuable: be honest about it. What came out of that conversation is one of the most raw and relatable episodes they've ever recorded.
They're talking about the valley seasons of life — those stretches where you're not grieving something specific, you're just exhausted by the accumulation of it all. The unexpected ER visit. The job stress. The ministry criticism. The slow drift away from what once felt exciting and meaningful. The unmet expectations that quietly hollow you out.
Ellen brings her clinical lens as an LMFT and Morgan brings her lived experience as a mom, wife, and ministry co-host — and together they unpack how we actually get into valleys, why we stay stuck in them longer than we need to, and what it looks like to stop fighting the valley and start letting God meet you in it.
They cover the "of course" technique for building self-compassion, the difference between self-soothing and actual emotional validation, what Isaiah 26:3 has to do with your racing heart, and the powerful image of a shepherd carrying a wandering sheep — and what that means for you in your hardest season.
This one is honest, warm, and genuinely helpful whether you're in a deep valley right now or just starting to feel the descent.

What Pride Month Really Reveals About Human Longing
In this episode of the Strength In Weakness Podcast, Ellen Radcliff, LMFT explores What Pride Month Really Reveals About Human Longing.
Drawing from her own experience attending Pride events as a former lesbian, Ellen goes beyond the parades and rainbow flags to uncover the deeper story: a profound human need for belonging, acceptance, and home. She shares a moving story from a support group that reveals how many Christians are quietly asking, “How should we feel about Pride Month?”
This episode offers a compassionate, biblical path through the tension between truth and grace. Learn how to hold firm convictions without hatred, move from anger or fear to “surrendered grief,” and respond to the LGBTQ community with the same love and compassion Jesus showed.
Whether you’re a Christian trying to navigate Pride Month faithfully or simply want to understand the heart behind the celebration, this conversation will challenge and encourage you.
What You’ll Discover:
Why the longing for belonging is deeply human — and God-given
The difference between righteous indignation and contempt
Practical ways to become safe people who offer living water instead of judgment
If you’ve ever felt torn between conviction and love during Pride Month, this episode is for you.
