Watch and listen to the Anchored North's video interview of the incredible life story change of one man's whole life identity of Homosexuality and all that was connected to it like being part of the LGBT community and the Hollywood scene. The change came from a different truth and love he had not heard growing up and didn't care to know, content and fighting to love his life. Starting from elementary school, becoming open to a friend as a high school junior, led to dating and in college his lifestyle of homosexuality became a his "core identity."
He testifies to the truth and love of Christ being what changed him from seeing the world in a different light, through the proverbial light of the gospel that shines brightly though sometimes appearing dimly in a dark world and dark hearts. God intervened, opened his eyes to see, his heart to trust, and surrender his life wholly to the Lord.
Here are some great quotes from the video:
- "Wanted to find success, career, and true love."
- "I thought they [5 relationships] were almost like my Messiah."
- "That life I was living was fun. Satisfying. I felt high from it."
- "The pastor came out preaching from Romans 7, and the Holy Spirit flooded me. And that's when I saw the holiness of God and my sinfulness at the same time ... It was like this mix of joy and sorrow. Like sorrow over my sin and joy over the fact that I just met the King of the universe, God, Jesus. In that moment, I knew that God was real. Jesus was real. Heaven was real. Hell was real. Eternal life was real. The Bible was real. God was like, this is who I am. This is who you are ... we are now reconciled ... God you have my whole life ... It's all yours."
- "When I was living that gay life for many years, I was a hundred percent sure that was my identity. I was born that way. My orientation. It was like it was immutable."
- "Upon conversion, I knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that homosexuality was not who I was and that my identity was in Christ."
- "It's unloving to let someone spend eternity without God."
- "Whether you believe it or not, we will meet him on the last day."
- "Do you want this temporary pleasure right now? Or eternity with God?"
- "Don't let this one issue ... prevent you from eternity from God."
