To reach out to Debbie, email us at and we will connect you.ĭebbie Franek, and her husband Andy, were very intentional in raising their 3 children. They say you aren't supposed to talk about Sex, Religion and Politics or you are sure to step on some toes. Join Debbie and Sheila on an emotional and challenging conversation as we hear Debbie's experience and wrestle with all those questions. What was Debbie's responsibility to her child, her God and His People? Where was the support system of the Church? What does the Bible say about homosexuals? This confession took Debbie on a journey of research, rejection, righteousness, religion and responsibility. Her life and their children's lives were in service to God and His Church, and then everything she believed and trusted was tested after a tear-filled confession by her son that he was gay. She grew up with a Christian Family, went to Christian school, married a Christian man and even won an award for Best Christian Testimony, three times! She and her husband were involved in ministry and they turned to the Bible and pointed their children to God for everything. True to his Enneagram 4ness, we go deep, profound, up and down in our conversation, but I think you'll be as impressed as I was and happy that the world has young people like Gatton stepping up in this next generation of leaders.ĭownload his music on Spotify on IG, FB and Youtube as well to see videos, pictures and musings.ĭebbie is a Christian mom of 4 boys. He has recently had a huge accomplishment with two of his songs hitting 1 million downloads and he tells us about that, but it's almost a side note to the messages of love, diversity, self-reflection and healing that he wishes to encourage us with. Wise beyond his 22 years, Gatton is a singer, songwriter, artist, and creative director who is on a mission through his various art form to remind the world that we are 'More the Same than Different'.
