An Attempt to ‘Fix’ What Was Never Broken
Jay was sent to Agape Boarding School under the belief that he needed to be “fixed.”He shares that, in his heart, he believes he was sent away in an attempt to “pray the gay away” — a decision rooted in fear, theology, and misunderstanding. What his parents may not have realized is that sending him to an all-boys boarding school would become one of the most traumatic chapters of his life.In this deeply honest conversation, Jay opens up about the abuse he endured at Agape — being physically attacked, jumped by other students, spiritually manipulated by staff, and living in an environment fueled by shame and control.Jay also bravely speaks about sexual abuse and the lasting trauma that follows — the confusion, the silence, and the long road toward healing.Olivia and Jay have an important conversation about the lack of love shown to the LGBTQ+ community within certain Christian spaces, and what it truly means to reflect Christ. They discuss the difference between faith and fear, accountability and condemnation, and how Christians should treat every human being with dignity and compassion.This episode is not about politics.It’s about humanity.It’s about what happens when identity is treated like a sin instead of a person.Jay’s story is raw, courageous, and necessary.

He opens up about the fear-based environment, the punishments, and the trauma he and so many other boys endured.But James’ story takes a complicated turn.After aging out, he remained at Agape and was hired as a staff member. For six months, he saw the system from the inside — not just as a student, but as someone expected to enforce the very structure that once harmed him.And then he was fired.Not for misconduct.Not for breaking rules.But because he “wasn’t mean enough.”James discusses what that experience revealed about the inner workings of Agape, the expectations placed on staff, and the culture of control that thrived behind closed doors. He also shares insight into the filming of Teen Torture Inc., the legislative process surrounding the bill that was eventually signed, and his thoughts on the closure of the school.We talk about what it means to survive something that was designed to break you — and what he would say today to those who once tried.This episode sheds light on the systemic nature of abuse at Agape and why closing a building does not close the wounds left behind.
