He states “I would be lost without Christ guidance in my life.

Recently, Joshua informed his peer of his actions. The colleague apologizes but continues to engage in insensitive and harmful behaviors. Joshua is upset and trying to forgive the individual.

Joshua is eager to receive support services to assist him with the current challenges he is experiencing.
