Nathan talks about life changing choices that we make when we are young and the often irreversible impacts whether positive or negative that they will have on us for the rest of our lives. He asks the listener to stop and then move past feelings and emotions, which are transitory and ever-changing, and to engage one&#8217;s critical thinking skills and to consider the consequences of the choices we make as this relates to one&#8217;s purpose and meaning in life as well as one&#8217;s destiny, legacy, and the afterlife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Comments are welcomed on Nathan&#8217;s Bible study blog at <a href=\"https:\/\/hoshanarabbah.org\/blog\/\">https:\/\/hoshanarabbah.org\/blog\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This and other videos by Nathan are available as podcasts on Spotify and Apple podcast under &#8220;Hoshana Rabbah.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are interested in participating in Hoshana Rabbah&#8217;s weekly Shabbat online fellowship (Oasis Elim Online), send an email to <a href=\"mailto:hoshanarabbah@earthlink.net\">hoshanarabbah@earthlink.net<\/a> for more information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-rumble-com wp-block-embed-rumble-com\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" title=\"A Loving Message to Those in the LGBTQ+ Lifestyle (Pt 1)\" src=\"https:\/\/rumble.com\/embed\/v7fi9ci\/#?secret=JvI4fjj4qC\" data-secret=\"JvI4fjj4qC\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"584\" height=\"329\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/SVDKCrRb4is?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en&#038;autohide=2&#038;start=1&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n<div class=\"evernoteSiteMemory\"><a href=\"javascript:\" onclick=\"Evernote.doClip({title: 'A Loving Message to Those in the LGBTQ+ Lifestyle (Pt 1)',url: 'https:\/\/hoshanarabbah.org\/blog\/2026\/11\/01\/a-loving-message-to-those-in-the-lgbtq-lifestyle-pt-1\/',contentID: 'post-24140',suggestTags: 'Gay Homosexual Lifestyle,LGBTQ+,Transgender',providerName: 'Hoshana Rabbah Blog',styling: 'text' });return false\" class=\"evernoteSiteMemoryLink\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.evernote.com\/article-clipper.png\" \nclass=\"evernoteSiteMemoryButton\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\t\t\t\t<div class=\"evernoteSiteMemoryClear\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this video, Nathan poses questions to someone in the LGBTQ+ lifestyle or who is thinking about going there.
