In this Episode I chat to the wonderful Shay Douglas featured in Netflix Documentary Liberated, who candidly and passionately shares his journey away from counterfeit intimacy towards true intimacy.
Shay Douglas was born in Cairns, Australia and spent many years in the US on a Soccer scholarship. Whilst partying at Spring Break, Florida with friends, he found himself getting involved in a documentary project which was being filmed by Exodus Cry. The documentary explored the hook-up culture amongst young adults in our generation and common attitudes and behaviours about sex.
After the filming finished, what followed for Shay was a journey of emptiness, regret, soul searching and reflection before he found himself making some powerful decisions that would lead him towards radical forgiveness, restoration and freedom. A journey that he is still on.
Shay reflects on his childhood and upbringing, and shares his evolving belief systems and perspectives about sexuality and intimacy. He tenderly yet honestly speaks of the demons he has had to face and the struggles that he has experienced around identity, intimacy and his role in today's hook up culture.
Shay also shares with us his current projects and future dreams to help young men develop healthy and honouring belief systems about manhood, respect, intimacy and valuing human dignity.
