Thank you for helping me to unlearn the isolation from your loving guidance, I am no longer under attack and can now see that you are the one who has always protected me.
James Powell invites you into the second chapter of his deeply personal podcast, 'This Little Light of Mine'. In this episode, aptly titled 'Surrender', James opens up about some of the darkest moments from the past year that pushed him to the brink.

From sexual abuse to exorcism, and from addiction to conversion therapy, James doesn't shy away from the harrowing details that have shaped his journey. This episode carries a listener advisory for its intense and potentially triggering content. Despite the heavy topics, there's a thread of hope woven through James's story. He speaks candidly about the moments that nearly broke him but also about the surrender that led to a profound sense of healing and possibility.
His reflections on growing up as a closeted gay Christian in the Evangelical church reveal a life lived in fear and isolation, yet also a life moving towards unconditional love and acceptance. James's narrative is not just a recounting of past traumas but an offering of solidarity to anyone facing similar struggles. He poses poignant questions about inner whispers and higher powers, urging listeners to reflect on their own fears and the barriers that hold them back.
