Horror Film Pushes False Narrative About Faith-Based Counseling

Faith Facts

• New horror film ‘Leviticus’ misrepresents Christian counseling and faith-based approaches to unwanted same-sex attraction
• The movie portrays biblical teaching and voluntary counseling as violent ‘conversion therapy’ while ignoring real stories of transformation
• Film represents Hollywood’s ongoing campaign to criminalize Christian perspectives on sexuality and deny testimonies of changed lives

A new horror film titled “Leviticus” has arrived in theaters with a deeply troubling agenda: to demonize faith-based counseling and misrepresent Christian teaching on human sexuality. The film follows the well-worn path of secular Hollywood’s attempts to vilify biblical truth and those who seek help aligning their lives with God’s design.

The movie centers on so-called “conversion therapy,” a loaded term activists use to paint all faith-based counseling with the same broad brush. What the film conveniently ignores are the countless testimonies of men and women who have found freedom from unwanted same-sex attraction through prayer, biblical counsel, and authentic Christian community.

By framing voluntary counseling as horror, the filmmakers reveal their true intent: to silence the Church and deny people the freedom to seek help consistent with their faith. This isn’t entertainment—it’s propaganda designed to criminalize Christian belief and pastoral care.

The timing of this film is no accident. Across America, activists are pushing legislation to ban even voluntary counseling for minors struggling with unwanted same-sex attraction. These laws would prevent pastors, Christian counselors, and parents from offering biblical guidance to young people seeking it.

What “Leviticus” won’t show audiences are the real stories—men and women who testify to God’s transforming power in their lives. It won’t acknowledge that many people experience unwanted same-sex attraction and deserve access to counseling that respects their faith and values.

Instead, the film opts for caricature and fear-mongering, portraying Christians as villains and biblical teaching as abuse. This misrepresentation does a profound disservice to both the Church and to those genuinely seeking help.

The entertainment industry’s hostility toward biblical Christianity grows more brazen with each passing year. Films like “Leviticus” represent a coordinated effort to marginalize traditional Christian belief and normalize perspectives that directly contradict Scripture.

Concerned believers should recognize this film for what it is: another salvo in the culture war against religious freedom and parental rights. When Hollywood tells only one side of the story—and tells it through the lens of horror—the goal isn’t dialogue but demonization.

Christians must continue speaking truth with compassion, sharing testimonies of transformation, and defending the right of individuals to seek counsel consistent with their deeply held religious convictions. The answer to bad storytelling is better storytelling—and the Church has countless true stories of redemption to share.
