He’s Gay. She’s Straight. They Fell in Love Anyway | Samantha Greenstone & Jacob Hoff
Love in SessionShow Notes
What happens when the person you fall in love with doesn’t fit the story you’ve always understood about yourself?
Jacob Hoff identifies as gay. Samantha Greenstone identifies as straight. But what began as an unexpected friendship grew into a relationship neither of them could quite explain—and eventually, a marriage and a family.
Samantha and Jacob join Paul C. Brunson and Dr. Lisa Paz to share how they learned to trust a connection that didn’t fit a conventional roadmap. They open up about identity, attraction, intimacy, monogamy, the assumptions people make about their marriage, and why neither of them needed to change who they were in order to choose each other.
Together, they explore what their story can teach all of us about the difference between attraction and connection, the labels we use to understand ourselves, and what it means to build a relationship that is healthy—even when it isn’t conventional.
Can love challenge what we thought we knew about ourselves without changing who we are?
