INTRODUCTION:

In this episode of the 'Sex, Drugs, and Jesus' podcast, host De’Vannon Seráphino introduces Lucas Frederick William Wilson, a conversion therapy survivor and post-doctoral fellow at the University of Calgary. Lucas discusses his upcoming book, 'Shame, Sex, Attraction: Survivors' Stories of Conversion Therapy,' which compiles harrowing stories from individuals who have endured conversion practices. The episode delves into Lucas's personal experiences, the emotional and editorial challenges in compiling the book, and broader themes of spirituality and mental health. Lucas reads an excerpt from his book, sharing a poignant and often humorous account of his time at Liberty University. The conversation also touches on the broader implications of religious shame, the healing journey of survivors, and the controversial figures associated with Liberty University. The episode concludes with a light-hearted segment of dad jokes.
