A powerful story of faith, love, and overcoming religious dogma.
Deeply religious and in a happy relationship with his girlfriend, Alex King's entire world is shaken when he discovers his childhood best friend is secretly gay. And as Alex shakes off the weight of religious closed-mindedness and begins to accept his friend's sexuality, he makes a startling realization of his own.
Refusing to accept himself and keeping his sexuality hidden from his friends and family, Alex finds comfort in the guidance of Pastor Kenny C. Holmes. With the accepting Pastor's advice, he begins to navigate the difficult and confusing world of sexuality while fighting to find his identity. But the Deacons of the Church aren't so welcoming.
When Pastor Kenny is forced to preach against homosexuality and betray his principles, he soon falls into a vicious downward spiral. Alex knows he has to make a stand - but that would mean coming out to his entire congregation. Can he challenge the Deacons and muster the strength to show his community that no matter your sexuality, you can still serve the Lord? Or will he stand by and watch his mentor be silenced?
Blending the often-conflicted worlds of homosexual relationships and religious life,
Master, Can You Use Me?
explores the struggles of a religious young man as he reconciles his faith with his sexuality, creating a powerful testament to how faith and acceptance can overcome narrow-mindedness. Gripping, poignant, and deeply moving, Alex King's story will resonate with any member of the LGBT community who has found it difficult to come out to their religious friends, family, church and community.
