As someone that has struggled with this for my entire life, it is such a blessing to hear creators talking more about it & being open and honest. Praise God
You struggle for acceptance, not because of your orientation. There is nothing wrong with your orientation. There is something wrong with these two’s understanding of it.
This is SOOOOOOOOO strong! So strong. Thank you guys for your witness, your testimony, your willingness to be vulnerable for God. This testimony and this witness is representative of so many of us. Thank you for being willing to stand for God.
If you are gay and reading this, God loves you. You don’t have to believe everything you believe and see here on TH-cam. Their story is not representative of everyone’s story. God bless.
Incredible testimony. I am so beyond grateful and proud of you two awesome men of God. What a faith restoring, deep, real and timely discussion of truth and the power of repentance May the Lord continue to preserve and bless you both. Keep up the good fight brothers. I love y'all !!
Thank you Rashad for being bold in your faith and in your witness. The Word of God tells us that we overcome by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of our testimony. Keep sharing your testimony and watch God do wonders in and through your life. God bless 🙏❤️
wow, glory to God, watching it through and so blessed man by this!! yo the "no, it just means that God can use anything"!! ouff, the bit about platforms was so good, needed to hear that. God bless y'all for your testimony, super duper blessed by it man!!!❤🔥
Thank you both for this video. Thank you so much Rashad for your testimony!.This is showing me that I truly need to read the bible. Instead of being lukewarm because God has guided me to this video. That having homosexual desires and the desire to be trans is against God. Thank you God for showing me this man’s testimony Amen!!. God bless you both!🙏❤
14:07 I’ve never heard principalities being described in this way, but he’s absolutely correct about Chicago having a murder spirit, Alaska having a suicide spirit and Atlanta having a gay spirit, that is so true. There’s also spirits of addiction ravishing many states and cities right now such as Philadelphia and Seattle.
Hi Carew. I almost never comment on TH-cam channels, but felt it placed on my heart to encourage you & Rashad on the Kingdom work you are a part of. My best friend is a gay man, and is *SOOO* close to a relationship with Jesus. I love him dearly, as close as I would a brother, and we often talk about God, Jesus, and our belief systems. My best friend displays a love (service) that is generous and giving to so many, and he is sensitive to others and works doubly hard to make someone feel “seen”. Without having a personal relationship with Jesus he is about as close as it gets!!! I pray my best friend will have a supernatural encounter with our Lord that will radically change his vision so he can see the plan our God has on his life: to have a relationship with him. I pray over you and Rashad to continue your work and reflect how God redeems our brokenness, trading ashes for beauty, because it gives so many people the chance to hope… which I consider to be key to our individual walks with Jesus in addition to faith. Bless you. Olivia
Carew when you started talking about anxiety and sin and addiction, that hit me so HARD i cannot even describe it with words because thats exactly what ive been dealing with for so long that hearing tou talk about it almost felt like a breath of fresh air, just to know that im not crazy or alone in these struggles. 🙏🙏
Vc pode lutar contra sua Sexualidade a vontade vc vai continuar sendo gay!! Não existe ex gay . Não existe cura para o que não é doença e nem demônio!!.
I deeply needed this. Heart,mind body and especially soul. I have been trying to fight homosexuality for a long time. I really feel like I can give it to Jesus. The embarrassment is hitting me but Ik it’s worth it. Ik that Jesus is with me. Thank Jesus for the both of you!! 🤍🤍🤍🤍
Awe man. I needed to hear this. I felt like straight tugged in my spirit when hearing this. I was dealing with same sex attraction ever since I was small & its a testimony that I need stated @ it’s given time. But man I truly identified, with being bi/gay. I had relations with 50+ people @ the age of 19. Earlier in the weeks, I was in the ER after I could no longer tolerate bowel pain after falling into sin, days earlier when I was meant to go to a missions trip. And God’s so loving & compassionate to not let me go to that trip so when I go I can truly save souls, not suffer the pain I was going through if I were going to go. And that same thing our brother brought up, is the world tells us to experience if you like it, and I did it by trial & error. Until I ended up liking it but I was diagnosed with Herpes & Syphillis but even in that ER before church because I had to play that same day. I thank God for being there with me & God let’s us suffer our own consequences, God is not mocked. Pray for my soul, my being because even after being treated, its habits in me that pleasure feels good that I keep doing it , when I what makes me feel whole & clean is living in the spirit with God :)
Homosexuality is a healthy natural sexual orientation with an evolutionary meaning. If it was caused by psychological influences, it could be changed to heterosexual in a therapy, but it cant. Thats what we know for sure. So its innate. Why did it come up in evolution? There is a permanent share of 90-96% heterosexuals and 4-10% share of homosexuals in all living beings with sexuality since 385 million years. The reason is the evolutionary advance through several factors, for example: Same-sex sexuality evolved by natural selection because it created or strengthened male-male alliances and female-female alliances and mutual social benefit to all the animals in the tribe, better survive better defense, better social interaction. There are interesting studies about it. I wish for you that you find a loving same-sex partner, marry and maybne raise kids in responsibility.
hi. I really hope that you’re doing well, and I don’t mean to be overbearing but I just want you to know that there is nothing unclean or wrong about having same-sex attraction. There are so many queer people who live the entirety of their lives denying themselves and pushing to be someone they’re not. If you’re bi/gay God still loves you and any Christian who convinces you otherwise, or that you need to change because you deserve to go to hell otherwise is not a true Christian. The problems you could’ve been having could be due to the fact you were with 50+ people by the age of 19, it’s just a given that you would have trouble due to that- but understand no matter your identity or sexuality, love truly is not a sin and whichever way is happiest is the life you should choose with no regrets. xx
@@tash3291 Psalm 24:4-5: "Only those with clean hands and pure hearts, who have not worshiped idols, who have not made promises in the name of a false god. They will receive a blessing from the LORD; the God who saves them will declare them right". Was living for myself now I live for Him. Love is selfless it does not boast, nor adulterates nor fornicate nor wants to please the flesh only in confines of marriage guided by the Holy Spirit. We evaluate love sometimes based on what you can offer me, but love isn’t defined im feeling you now but later im not, its compromise and that’s what we see moduled with a man & wife under the eyes of God. Those who loose their life will gain it but those who keep their life will loose it because what does it matter if a man gains the world but looses his soul? What does it matter if you loose yourself, and gain nothing once you leave this Earth. Point is God is first above all, and I put people before God. When all I needed was Him. Nobody convinced me it was the Holy Spirit. God calls us to deny ourselves & pick our cross Christianity is tough but its for the brave who say I choose Christ no matter what anybody says, nobody the persecution.
Amigo não existe ex gay!! Não existe cura para o que não é doença. A pessoa pode escolher praticar o Celibato mais nem todos tem esse dom !! A palavra de Deus diz em 1 Corintios 7 que quem não consegue controlar seus impulsos sexuais que case!! Simples
You could pray for me, I've dealt with same-sex attractions. I'm out of the lifestyle and have had deliverance but from time to time I struggle with porn. Im also homeless 10 plus years, i also have chronic pains. My wish is that I could have a friend to walk with me but im growing in the secret place.

i want you to know- it’s okay to be gay and love Jesus. God made you the way you are, the bible has been misinterpreted and translated by man to fit their narrative and agendas. please read into it and your life will change. much love❤
Thank you Rashad for your testimony , thank you Carew for your platform and for bringing topics like this on the pod. It is so very needed especially in these times that we are living in. 🤍 thank you speaking truth and may the lord continue to bless you. 🩷
this podcast was fire!! i struggled with lustful sin for years and when i gave my life to Jesus i stopped watching p*rn and having the desire for it. i am forever grateful to God for saving me from that lifestyle.
I am 15 years old, I got saved a year ago. You have really inspired me to talk to others about Jesus and just to grow up as a light to others. I have pulled my friends closer to Jesus and I have pulled other teenagers out of hell, and I really don’t want that to stop 🫶
So I decided to fast and pray today.. I was struggling with the fasting part.. but I'm so glad I clicked on this video.. this is probably the most powerful video I've watched in a while
Yesss Jesus!! Before I came to Christ I struggled with homosexuality, transgenderism, and witchcraft. But my mother was steady and firm in Christ and at the time I had no idea how right she was. She would tell us about Sodom and Gomorrah and how homosexuality is an evil demonic thing. I used to think she was cruel and homophobic and how dare she not love her kid for who they (very mistakenly thought they) were. But oh God is good. My mother’s faith is what led me back to Christ Jesus. How right she was! My eyes have been opened to the rampant evil the enemy is trying to pollute our children with. There is no compromise for a Christian. You can’t be gay and a Christian, trust me, I thought you could. All glory be to God Most High. Jesus loves you all and wants to deliver you. May God bless you all 🫶
@@carew_ellington Yea, how 'holy' for you to call gay people 'children of satan'. How nice it must be to be a total jackass and total bigot and just blame 'God' for all your nasty rhetoric?

It is the kindness of God that leads us to repentance. We must preach repentance - in 2008, I was a gay-identified man, in a committed, monogamous same-sex relationship, active in an affirming church, then found myself in an ICU where the medical team classified me clinically dead after a 22-minute flatline. I experienced death, judgement and hell. When I couldn’t take any more demonic torment, I cried out in repentance, “Jesus!” and I heard the Savior say, “I am here.” At that moment, I saw with my eyes the Wind of the Holy Spirit fill my ICU and with great power, He pick up Satan and the demonic and blew them out of the room. On that day, my life changed, the redemptive Blood of Jesus cleared my mind, and completely healed and restored every failing organ. Glory to God!
Honestly, this is probably the most meaningful and motivational podcast I've ever listened to! I thank God for helping me find this video and you guys for sharing your testimony and thoughts on this topic with us. Thank you for not inflicting the feeling of conviction on us, but rather help us relate to you and better understand how to hone our relationship with God! I thank Him for your existence, guys. After all, God is great! I may be only 15 years old, but i truly believe that what you do is great and that you'll save so many souls! I may repeat myself, but you dont know how much i needed to hear all of this! GOD BLESS!❤❤❤

Videos like this can fuel intense hatred toward the LGBTQ+ community, pushing individuals to suppress their true identities. When people are made to feel that their natural feelings are wrong, it can lead to deep self-loathing and a sense of isolation. This internal struggle can become so overwhelming that some may even feel that the only way to escape the pain is by taking their own lives. The harmful impact of such content is devastating, reinforcing a cycle of shame and despair that can have tragic consequences.
Bruh he’s speaking his truth and literally his own story, both their stories actually. You can’t speak for everyone man, and regardless what you want to call it it’s Gods truth. They are not spreading hate at all, and no Christian should hate but we’re not gonna water down the truth either. I also Identified as part of the community before but I no longer do because of my conviction and love for my God over my own wants and I really enjoyed their video, no hate here
@@sophiasmith6363"You cant speak for everyone" then you saying its just Gods truth is dumb. So you are saying essentially that I cant disagree with you because ultimately you know Gods truth and I dont. So you are speaking for me aswell? Also your conviction towards God shouldnt hurt you or anyone else around you, otherwise you are simply just being a zealot. And explain to me why you are so convinced that you are speaking truth? What is truth to you? Evidence, facts and scientific analysis or faith, emotion and metaphysical abstractions?
this obsession that christian’s have to speak on the LGBTQ+ community is highly concerning. they talk about gay people more than gay people talk about themselves. at some point, you gotta look within and really figure out why you care so much about someone else’s sexuality unless you’re trying to overcompensate for something in yourself that you’re ashamed of.
and funny enough, there’s a fair amount of “ex-gay” people that feel the need to talk about the LGBTQ+ community all the time. definitely sensing some internalized homophobia. I just wonder how they would identify if they weren’t told that being gay was wrong?
It is not an obsession but a worry people in this work are overcome but popular ideas and new ways and they latch on to the most interesting and progressive idea of the time and they push that as a wonderful positive thing when it is inherently wrong and against nature as though we can have desire or a want to do something to doesn’t mean it’s coming from a good place or a place of correct judgement
@@tropicolana5786God made man for women and women for man. And why do you think just because animals do it we can? Animals eat their own kind and their young should we do that? No! I can share some verses in the Bible and what it says about homosexuality if you like.
So happy that you two are true followers of Christ, not cherry picking the Bible. I pray more our age become true Christian’s. We will still trip but we follow the true God, not the socially acceptable Christ
To be a Christian is to cherry-pick the Bible, there is no other way. The Bible is full of natural error and contradictions, you have to have extra biblical schemes to adhere to any of it.
u don’t even understand thank u so much for posting about this topic this touched me and was exactly what i needed to hear from the Holy Spirit so thank u for being a vessel❤️ i love you brothers
Carew, I looove this Podcast!!! Holy Spirit is using you!! May God bless you. I will continue to pray for you ❤️ And thank you Rashad for your testimony!! So important! May the Lord bless you too ❤️ I love you guys
This video made me so nervous to watch idk like I’ve been battling with the lies of “your gay” and I just feel it’s never ending and growing up I’ve always been attracted to men and I still am but I’ve been struggling with my identity and I just pray for healing and deliverance
No your a perfect the way you are don’t suppress your true self because of a religion remember being a Christian is a choice being homosexual isn’t I recommend you look to science for more information following religion as a homosexual only leads to sadness
14:22 Finally, somebody said it. I thought it was just me that had picked up on it but yes, Atlanta definitely has a principality or principalities (plural) of homosexuality dominating over the city (region). I discerned this a while back. Rashad is accurate in pointing that out. Church, we’ve got to pray!!

What a blessing! You guys are anointed! Such wisdom! You are 100 💯 percent correct when you talk about going from gay to God instead of trying in your flesh to go from gay to straight. That never works!
Yes, there is. Being Christian is a choice. Being gay is not. If you pit the two of them against each other, you will always push the gay person away from God. The Bible does not condemn homosexuality in its original language. The anti gay stuff entered the Bible in 1946.
@GilbertGTV sir, that simply isn't true. It's always been echoed throughout the bible that sexual relations only belong within the marriage of a husband and wife. This isn't just homosexuality, but its included. Now, I don't agree with people bashing and demeaning the LGBTQ community because that goes against the core teachings of Jesus, but to say it isn't a sin is just a blatant lie.
so if same sex attraction is a sin in the eyes of God, then why is opposite sex attraction ok? "It's to make babies," what about the straight people who physically can't have kids for one reason or another? "they can adopt" and queer people can't?
Praise God for the boldness you both have! It takes a lot to speak on a subject that this generation isn’t open to hearing. I pray the Lord protects you both and may he anoint you both with his grace and favor. Any scheme that the enemy wants conjure upon your lives we cancel it to in the Mighty Name of JESUS! Keep serving the lord brothers!
31:54 - 32:18 : 2 Timothy 1:7 comes to mind here! Amen! “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.”
First, I would like to say this conversation was very interesting to watch and listen to. I think its a very good thing to hear others opinions, or truths so to speak. Second I'd like to add that it is perfectly okay to walk with and worship Jesus while being Gay, I know this to be true because I have been in somewhat these same shoes. God welcomes all his children and their imperfections. We are all human beings trying are best to Love God just as much as he loves us. and when the day of rapture comes he will strip us all of our fleshly wounds and desires and we will become the true image of him. Amen. I will be praying for you both fellas.

Jesus was not shy when it came to saying what he wanted to say. Gays existed before and after Jesus. During the time he was alive he never mentioned homosexuality as a sin. Also, if are saying you are or think about men and women, you are already sining the word of god. Because even though your actions are saying you are not a sin your heart does. The heart is what takes you to heaven not your words and actions.
Yea, sure. Just like the thousands of 'ex gays' who came out and said they were lying when Exodus International shut down some years ago. No one is 'delivered from homosexuality' because sexuality is not a choice and cannot change from one day to the next. It's scientifically impossible. You can be bisexual and choose to repress your gay desires or not act on them, but no one goes form 100% gay to 100% straight because of God. Stop the lies.
this hits deep especially after getting saved & breaking up with my girlfriend because i was asking for intimacy with Jesus & slowly the lustful urges went away. i was so scared to tell her but i did & now i feel no attraction i just miss being close with my Father 🦋🩷 thank you for sharing y’all! these hate comments really prove how people are trying to make evil GOOD & good EVIL our generation is going to bring a lot of people back home. i was thinking i could be a lesbian while having Christian values. knowing i wanted all of it & not being lukewarm Christian. too many sad people projecting in the comments we have to pray for them
THIS IS SO POWERFUL!! I felt the Holy Spirit thru the phone! Praise God! I felt conviction in this with the private browser part and I completely forgot about it until now! Like why do I even have it on my phone!? Thank for sharing your powerful testimony! Praise God that we are brothers and sisters in Christ❤ 1:25:58 and on is so powerful!!!
I just wanted to say this video was so good because you and Rashad were just open to being used by God to share your (mainly Rashad's) testimony and give good advice/the truth on what it means to truly seek Christ. This is an issue that is very prevalent right now, so I am grateful that you and Rashad were willing to speak up on it because it is touching a lot of souls. Much love to you all, brothers in Christ 🫶🏽.
This podcast is truly something special. Not only did it open my eyes, but it made me realize that I had never just directly prayed to God about my struggles. I realized that I never demanded to be broken free in Jesus' name. What you two do is truly amazing, and I will always be thankful to God I came across this video. I truly believe I have started something new in my life, and I give all glory to God.
God set me free from homosexuality in March 2023. Following your journey has been so inspiring to know there are others out there like me whom God has called to freedom. Thank you both for your bravery and boldness for the gospel. You inspire me SO much. HALLELUJAH!!!!
Nothing "sets you free" from homosexuality. If you're gay, you cannot get rid of that. Now, if you mean to say that you are choosing to live a life of celibacy, or that you are in a relationship with a woman despite not being sexually attracted to them, that's fine, but it doesn't change the fact that you're still gay.
@@scottmoore7588 I have no reason or anything to gain from lying or being dishonest about what God has done for me and millions of other people that have sought Him. My testimony is on my channel, I encourage you to listen! God bless you.
I am curious, when you were set free from homosexuality, does this mean you: 1) no longer feel any same-sex attractions (e.g. exclusively heterosexual) OR 2) still experience same-sex attractions, but choose not to identify with or pursue them
@@DanSmith01ave thanks for your question. To begin, I think it’s important that to note that “heterosexuality” is not a fruit of the spirit, but self-control is. To directly answer honestly, I would say, yes, my attractions have changed. That’s not to say I don’t experience temptations in that area because it’s where I’ve been set free so the enemy tries to get my mind back in that way at times. By the power of the Spirit I am able to redirect my thoughts if I am ever tempted with same-sex fantasies. Deeper in to your question, personally I was always attracted to women as well as men, but pursued men exclusively for a period of my life because the attraction was stronger. I had no desire to engage in any form of heterosexual relationship or romance. After being set free through prayer and fasting, God 100% redirected my vision. My desire to date men was gone, the desire to pursue them sexually, all of that, was taken away, because I prayed for God to help me in that area, and I was willing to give it up and walk in obedience no matter the cost. It takes a level of true love for Him to be able to overcome this sin of same-sex lifestyle/attraction, because it becomes rooted in your “identity.” I would say it’s a combination of both because it’s not a black and white issue, if that makes sense, given the information I’ve shared. It’s not so much that God “made me straight,” but rather gave me a much stronger desire for holiness, a heterosexual marriage if that’s what He wills for me, and the fruit of self-control in the face of same-sex temptation if that ever does comes up. And I will say it’s not difficult nor impossible, and I don’t consider it to be suppressing anything, rather yielding to His will instead of the old flesh patterns I engaged with for so long. I hope that answers your question. God bless. 😇🫶🏼
If you are questioning your sexuality or gender identity, talk to someone who will accept you either way. If you are afraid of being gay or trans, don’t be. Millions of queer people live happily; they are loved by others, and they love themselves. If you’re meant to, you can be like those people - living not with a secret shame, but instead living with pride. Who is the one person you could honestly tell how it makes you feel when you hear the word gay?
Then you didn’t learn anything, yes God love you but man does he not approve of that sinful identity, read the scripture man, seek the truth and be free
@@oscarvega1943 There's no 'sinful identity'. 200 years ago Christians said being black was a mark of the devil that justified slavery. Your brand of bigotry is just the latest in a long list. And people are over it.
i struggled with this with myself and was really convinced that it was normal but yet i always felt guilty and was scared to be caught. but since finding Jesus i can truly say he’s delivered me from these thoughts and ways ❤️ i thought i was going to have to take this secret to the grave but Jesus truly delivered me from it
There's nothing 'not normal' about being gay. Your churches can teach people to hate themselves all they want to, but people are waking up. Religious bigotry is still bigotry. End of.
@@RationalistMH church didn’t teach me to hate myself, i did that. maybe church hurt you when you were younger but it’s not about the church, it’s about the message and who’s giving that message. Jesus saved me, not church. i don’t have any judgment or hate towards the gay community, we can all get closer to God. God bless ❤️
@@calebdidit You felt guilty because you probably grew up in an environment where being gay was a very taboo. Christianity in general makes a lot people feel shame about anything related to sexuality.
@@ohuntermc9321 i get what you’re saying but still not true, i knew it wasn’t in my character but i was feeding into it. it was more so kids from school and my Dad that would say things like that to me but it didn’t really affect me till my later years. again, i was born again and he’s takin me away from that sin, God bless ❤️
Wow! Such great testimony. Really so inspiring and encouraging! I pray I will be able to follow a similar path as I have felt the Lord pursuing me for years and have been making the early steps of following him and turning away from my worldly ways and influences.
as long as you’re loving a life that doesn’t negatively harm yourself or anyone else, I believe that’s the most important thing. no matter what your sexuality is, you were made beautifully in His image ❤
@@KN_builds Yea we know. Hatred and bigotry is your brand of 'biblical' Christianity. Christian slaveowners in this country also thought considering black people to be literal animals was the word of the Gospel. Something tells me you would have been right there supporting them.
I will definitely have to agree with you. The Bible is a translation by man, we truly don't know what God will have to say about being gay and being a Christian. Love is love regardless of whom it is, I feel that you can be a Christian and be gay. I'm really Suprised people are bringing down people who are gay. Like they belive in God, they belive in his teaching, they just love some one of the same sex. If live your life and just be real about things and give him all the glory respect that he gave his only sin, to be tortured ridiculed and killed just for his beliefs So here in this podcast you both basically state the because you are gay you can't be a Christian. I disagree whith both of you on this matter. It is not or place to judge. Upon the final days we will be judged and there he will judge us, it's not man's place to judge or make statements such as this. It's not factual
Thank you for talking about the hard topics Carew. This is such a touchy subject in todays world but we need to not shy away from it just to make other people comfortable. As Christian’s we receive so much backlash when we bring up anything in regards to this community but the truth needs to be preached. Keep being a light Carew and don’t let any hate get to you ❤️
It's not a touchy subject. It's a group of people relentlessly hating on and spreading vile propaganda about a minority group, and you want to not be called out on your hatred because 'the bible said so'. I think not.
You cannot stop being gay. It’s who you are. You are born that way. Jesus loves people who are gay. and I despise of labels. Jesus loves me gay, straight, darker skin tone, lighter skin tone, happiness, depression, anxiety, addiction. RuPaul is an icon. And I feel so sorry they he grew up with such hateful, ignorant people.
@@Sarah-vj6qrmm if god don’t make gay ppl then why do we know there’s a genetic reason for being gay also you can’t repent of being gay lmao it’s proven not work conversion therapy is just fucking torture
God loves everyone but He still hates the sin. We are all born sinners. We were all born that way. It was who we all were. So yes you are born that way and yes you that is who you are. But when we accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior we become born again a new creature in Christ. When we are born again into the family of God, we are no longer a sinner.
I was never exposed to gay porn before I felt the attraction to other boys. And there has never been the slightest bisexuality, or attraction both to men and women, to which I ever can relate.
I'm glad you mentioned that coz all these gay testimonies are always centered around porn addiction, promiscuity and addiction to drugs and alcohol as if that's exclusive to gay people
The power of the cross indeed, I am so honor you guys being disciples of Christ. I was raised in Pentecostal church, an preach son who was molested by seduction at 9 yrs. old my first homosexual experience by a 16 yrs.old relative. I kept secret until 22 yrs.old. I had enterain the homsexul life style fully. I am now a senior in my 60s no longer act on homosexual experiences,places or things. Yes,I die daily from old behaviors. I have a soultie with someone long distance has stop the connection for years. God, has kept me thus when I couldn't keep my self. The Holy Spirit will lead and guide you through all things. I am so happy for all whom come out of the homosexual spirit. Amen!
I struggled with Drug addiction, pornography, and just being a decent person overall, but homosexuality is not something that changed when i got saved, so i disagree with this as a whole because being gay is not perversion. Perversion is perversion. But being in a healthy, loving, gay relationship with your partner who is hopefully also transformed by the blood of Jesus, is not wrong. I prayed for God to take this away from me my entire life, and i haven't ever had a conviction about being "gay" but i have had convictions about my sex addictions and drug addictions
Hi brother. Unfortunately, feelings are not a good measure to see if something is wrong or not. The heart is deceitful and our flesh opposes the spirit. The Word of God is extremely clear about who will inherit the kingdom. I pray that you would separate yourself from all ungoldy influence, and seek the truth for yourself❤
@@giginoriega I used to believe in the “repent of your sins” gospel from when I was 16 to 19. I was in constant fear and bondage when I couldn’t repent of my sins. Constantly asking “to be forgiven” Until I saw someone on TH-cam with the opposite view of me when I was 20, I argued and said “but faith without works is dead” and I was hit with like 50 verses that said faith alone. And after several days, I realized they were right. To be saved, you trust/believe in Jesus Christ alone for your salvation. Whether you like it or not, repenting of sins is seen as works (filthy rags) and you are trusting in yourself.
@ To turn to God to receive Forgiveness from sins implies turning away from your sins. To be follower of Jesus, we can’t just say we believe in him and then live any way we choose neither can we simply live a moral life without a personal relationship with God because good behavior cannot bring forgiveness from sin. Ask God to help you rid your life of any sins he points out, and then allow him to transform you so you live in a way that please him not your sinful nature. Praying for you I know is hard especially when you don’t have the help you need and the right ppl around you to help to guide you 🙏🏽🥺
You can be gay and be loved by god. Religion is a choice and being gay, bi, lesbian, etc., is not. If I truly had a choice, I would not want to be gay, but here I am. I love myself and I know god loves me.
Hey! God does love all of us, but there should be a clear distinction on whether you have made sexuality your identity… when we introduce ourselves we dont say hi “I am a heterosexual, or I am gay” if we make sexuality our identity, then everything around it, problems, relationships revolve around the fact that you think or somebody else thinks that sexuality is their identity when in reality, all of us are more than our sexuality. Hope it makes sense, we shouldnt use Gods love in any way to justify our sinful nature, and that goes for us all. Have a blessed day. Not in any way should I be the one to convince you of anything, I leave it in Gods hands. I just felt the need to tell you this.
here’s how i see it, God gave us free WILL. we are not born gay, we are born sinful. God gave us free will to either follow Him (and His Word) or follow the world (and worldly desires). I also believe you can’t claim to be Christian and go against everything the Word of God says.
also like they said “God will never give you a purpose against his will and his word” therefore your not born gay, it’s a choice. in fact literally every thing is a choice, we can either choose God or the world
They Love God over their sinfulness and God will reward them with eternal life for doing so. And because they love God this shows that they love themselves!
Prayer is powerful too and I’m pretty sure that helped to staying in contact with God as you progress to give your life to Christ!! ❤️ love this thank you Jesus for deliverance… this is the best way to live!! ❤️
As someone that has struggled with this for my entire life, it is such a blessing to hear creators talking more about it & being open and honest. Praise God
You struggle for acceptance, not because of your orientation. There is nothing wrong with your orientation. There is something wrong with these two’s understanding of it.

14:07 I’ve never heard principalities being described in this way, but he’s absolutely correct about Chicago having a murder spirit, Alaska having a suicide spirit and Atlanta having a gay spirit, that is so true. There’s also spirits of addiction ravishing many states and cities right now such as Philadelphia and Seattle.
Hi Carew. I almost never comment on TH-cam channels, but felt it placed on my heart to encourage you & Rashad on the Kingdom work you are a part of. My best friend is a gay man, and is *SOOO* close to a relationship with Jesus. I love him dearly, as close as I would a brother, and we often talk about God, Jesus, and our belief systems. My best friend displays a love (service) that is generous and giving to so many, and he is sensitive to others and works doubly hard to make someone feel “seen”. Without having a personal relationship with Jesus he is about as close as it gets!!! I pray my best friend will have a supernatural encounter with our Lord that will radically change his vision so he can see the plan our God has on his life: to have a relationship with him. I pray over you and Rashad to continue your work and reflect how God redeems our brokenness, trading ashes for beauty, because it gives so many people the chance to hope… which I consider to be key to our individual walks with Jesus in addition to faith. Bless you. Olivia
I’m proud of you 2 young brothers are doing. Keep talking and teaching the word. And helping others. May God bless you both.

Carew when you started talking about anxiety and sin and addiction, that hit me so HARD i cannot even describe it with words because thats exactly what ive been dealing with for so long that hearing tou talk about it almost felt like a breath of fresh air, just to know that im not crazy or alone in these struggles. 🙏🙏

Awe man. I needed to hear this. I felt like straight tugged in my spirit when hearing this.
I was dealing with same sex attraction ever since I was small & its a testimony that I need stated @ it’s given time.
But man I truly identified, with being bi/gay. I had relations with 50+ people @ the age of 19. Earlier in the weeks, I was in the ER after I could no longer tolerate bowel pain after falling into sin, days earlier when I was meant to go to a missions trip.
And God’s so loving & compassionate to not let me go to that trip so when I go I can truly save souls, not suffer the pain I was going through if I were going to go. And that same thing our brother brought up, is the world tells us to experience if you like it, and I did it by trial & error.
Until I ended up liking it but I was diagnosed with Herpes & Syphillis but even in that ER before church because I had to play that same day.
I thank God for being there with me & God let’s us suffer our own consequences, God is not mocked.
Pray for my soul, my being because even after being treated, its habits in me that pleasure feels good that I keep doing it , when I what makes me feel whole & clean is living in the spirit with God :)
Homosexuality is a healthy natural sexual orientation with an evolutionary meaning.
If it was caused by psychological influences, it could be changed to heterosexual in a therapy, but it cant.
Thats what we know for sure.
So its innate. Why did it come up in evolution?
There is a permanent share of 90-96% heterosexuals and 4-10% share of homosexuals in all living beings with sexuality since 385 million years. The reason is the evolutionary advance through several factors, for example: Same-sex sexuality evolved by natural selection because it created or strengthened male-male alliances and female-female alliances and mutual social benefit to all the animals in the tribe, better survive better defense, better social interaction.
There are interesting studies about it.
I wish for you that you find a loving same-sex partner, marry and maybne raise kids in responsibility.
hi. I really hope that you’re doing well, and I don’t mean to be overbearing but I just want you to know that there is nothing unclean or wrong about having same-sex attraction. There are so many queer people who live the entirety of their lives denying themselves and pushing to be someone they’re not. If you’re bi/gay God still loves you and any Christian who convinces you otherwise, or that you need to change because you deserve to go to hell otherwise is not a true Christian.
The problems you could’ve been having could be due to the fact you were with 50+ people by the age of 19, it’s just a given that you would have trouble due to that- but understand no matter your identity or sexuality, love truly is not a sin and whichever way is happiest is the life you should choose with no regrets. xx
Sounds like a troll
@@tash3291 Jeremiah 17:9 ,”The heart is deceitful above all things”.
@@tash3291 Psalm 24:4-5: "Only those with clean hands and pure hearts, who have not worshiped idols, who have not made promises in the name of a false god. They will receive a blessing from the LORD; the God who saves them will declare them right".
Was living for myself now I live for Him. Love is selfless it does not boast, nor adulterates nor fornicate nor wants to please the flesh only in confines of marriage guided by the Holy Spirit.
We evaluate love sometimes based on what you can offer me, but love isn’t defined im feeling you now but later im not, its compromise and that’s what we see moduled with a man & wife under the eyes of God.
Those who loose their life will gain it but those who keep their life will loose it because what does it matter if a man gains the world but looses his soul?
What does it matter if you loose yourself, and gain nothing once you leave this Earth. Point is God is first above all, and I put people before God. When all I needed was Him.
Nobody convinced me it was the Holy Spirit.
God calls us to deny ourselves & pick our cross
Christianity is tough but its for the brave who say I choose Christ no matter what anybody says, nobody the persecution.
It’s the anointing that destroys the yolk of bondage instead of breaks because anything broken can be fixed, but anything destroyed can’t be fixed

Não existe ex gay!! Não existe cura para o que não é doença.
this podcast was fire!! i struggled with lustful sin for years and when i gave my life to Jesus i stopped watching p*rn and having the desire for it. i am forever grateful to God for saving me from that lifestyle.
I am 15 years old, I got saved a year ago. You have really inspired me to talk to others about Jesus and just to grow up as a light to others. I have pulled my friends closer to Jesus and I have pulled other teenagers out of hell, and I really don’t want that to stop 🫶
So I decided to fast and pray today.. I was struggling with the fasting part.. but I'm so glad I clicked on this video.. this is probably the most powerful video I've watched in a while
Yesss Jesus!! Before I came to Christ I struggled with homosexuality, transgenderism, and witchcraft. But my mother was steady and firm in Christ and at the time I had no idea how right she was. She would tell us about Sodom and Gomorrah and how homosexuality is an evil demonic thing. I used to think she was cruel and homophobic and how dare she not love her kid for who they (very mistakenly thought they) were. But oh God is good. My mother’s faith is what led me back to Christ Jesus. How right she was! My eyes have been opened to the rampant evil the enemy is trying to pollute our children with. There is no compromise for a Christian. You can’t be gay and a Christian, trust me, I thought you could. All glory be to God Most High. Jesus loves you all and wants to deliver you. May God bless you all 🫶

Omg I relate to Rashad so much I appreciate your bravery in sharing your testimony
It is the kindness of God that leads us to repentance. We must preach repentance - in 2008, I was a gay-identified man, in a committed, monogamous same-sex relationship, active in an affirming church, then found myself in an ICU where the medical team classified me clinically dead after a 22-minute flatline. I experienced death, judgement and hell. When I couldn’t take any more demonic torment, I cried out in repentance, “Jesus!” and I heard the Savior say, “I am here.” At that moment, I saw with my eyes the Wind of the Holy Spirit fill my ICU and with great power, He pick up Satan and the demonic and blew them out of the room. On that day, my life changed, the redemptive Blood of Jesus cleared my mind, and completely healed and restored every failing organ. Glory to God!
Where are you in your life now? Have you been attracted to women?
YOUR TESTIMONY JUST BROUGHT ME TO TEARS! I HEARD JESUS SPEAK TO ME THROUGH THIS. I NOW WANT TO CONFESS MY SIN AND PURSUE MY FATHER GLORAYYYYY TO YAH

I thank God for helping me find this video and you guys for sharing your testimony and thoughts on this topic with us. Thank you for not inflicting the feeling of conviction on us, but rather help us relate to you and better understand how to hone our relationship with God! I thank Him for your existence, guys.

Videos like this can fuel intense hatred toward the LGBTQ+ community, pushing individuals to suppress their true identities. When people are made to feel that their natural feelings are wrong, it can lead to deep self-loathing and a sense of isolation. This internal struggle can become so overwhelming that some may even feel that the only way to escape the pain is by taking their own lives. The harmful impact of such content is devastating, reinforcing a cycle of shame and despair that can have tragic consequences.
Bruh he’s speaking his truth and literally his own story, both their stories actually. You can’t speak for everyone man, and regardless what you want to call it it’s Gods truth. They are not spreading hate at all, and no Christian should hate but we’re not gonna water down the truth either. I also Identified as part of the community before but I no longer do because of my conviction and love for my God over my own wants and I really enjoyed their video, no hate here
@@sophiasmith6363"You cant speak for everyone" then you saying its just Gods truth is dumb.
So you are saying essentially that I cant disagree with you because ultimately you know Gods truth and I dont. So you are speaking for me aswell?
Also your conviction towards God shouldnt hurt you or anyone else around you, otherwise you are simply just being a zealot.
And explain to me why you are so convinced that you are speaking truth?
What is truth to you?
Evidence, facts and scientific analysis or faith, emotion and metaphysical abstractions?
"we're failing an open book test"
this obsession that christian’s have to speak on the LGBTQ+ community is highly concerning. they talk about gay people more than gay people talk about themselves. at some point, you gotta look within and really figure out why you care so much about someone else’s sexuality unless you’re trying to overcompensate for something in yourself that you’re ashamed of.
and funny enough, there’s a fair amount of “ex-gay” people that feel the need to talk about the LGBTQ+ community all the time. definitely sensing some internalized homophobia. I just wonder how they would identify if they weren’t told that being gay was wrong?
It is not an obsession but a worry people in this work are overcome but popular ideas and new ways and they latch on to the most interesting and progressive idea of the time and they push that as a wonderful positive thing when it is inherently wrong and against nature as though we can have desire or a want to do something to doesn’t mean it’s coming from a good place or a place of correct judgement
@@Ava-xs6niIf it’s against nature then why do many animals species engage in homosexual behaviors? It’s not just humans. It’s natural.
@@tropicolana5786God made man for women and women for man. And why do you think just because animals do it we can? Animals eat their own kind and their young should we do that? No! I can share some verses in the Bible and what it says about homosexuality if you like.
I’m gay but at least they’re just talking about us and not throwing us off of buildings like Muslims are in the Middle East
So happy that you two are true followers of Christ, not cherry picking the Bible. I pray more our age become true Christian’s. We will still trip but we follow the true God, not the socially acceptable Christ
To be a Christian is to cherry-pick the Bible, there is no other way. The Bible is full of natural error and contradictions, you have to have extra biblical schemes to adhere to any of it.
This is an incredibly important ministry, we need more of it because the world is full of false teachers spoken about in 2 Peter chapter 2.

No your a perfect the way you are don’t suppress your true self because of a religion remember being a Christian is a choice being homosexual isn’t I recommend you look to science for more information following religion as a homosexual only leads to sadness
Also remember that Leviticus verse in the Bible isn’t the original it was drastically misinterpreted to the current one

Thank you so much for this episode! It spoke to my current situation. God is good!!
Well said Rashad: “There’s no such thing as a gay Christian.”
Yes, there is. Being Christian is a choice. Being gay is not. If you pit the two of them against each other, you will always push the gay person away from God. The Bible does not condemn homosexuality in its original language. The anti gay stuff entered the Bible in 1946.

@GilbertGTV sir, that simply isn't true. It's always been echoed throughout the bible that sexual relations only belong within the marriage of a husband and wife. This isn't just homosexuality, but its included. Now, I don't agree with people bashing and demeaning the LGBTQ community because that goes against the core teachings of Jesus, but to say it isn't a sin is just a blatant lie.
@@LeoAnimationsTMNT amen!
so if same sex attraction is a sin in the eyes of God, then why is opposite sex attraction ok?

and queer people can't?
Praise God for the boldness you both have! It takes a lot to speak on a subject that this generation isn’t open to hearing. I pray the Lord protects you both and may he anoint you both with his grace and favor. Any scheme that the enemy wants conjure upon your lives we cancel it to in the Mighty Name of JESUS!

Second I'd like to add that it is perfectly okay to walk with and worship Jesus while being Gay, I know this to be true because I have been in somewhat these same shoes. God welcomes all his children and their imperfections. We are all human beings trying are best to Love God just as much as he loves us. and when the day of rapture comes he will strip us all of our fleshly wounds and desires and we will become the true image of him. Amen. I will be praying for you both fellas.

Leviticus 18:22, Romans 1:26-27, 1 Corinthians 6:9-10, Matthew 19:4-5 ( what marriage should be)
Jesus was not shy when it came to saying what he wanted to say. Gays existed before and after Jesus. During the time he was alive he never mentioned homosexuality as a sin. Also, if are saying you are or think about men and women, you are already sining the word of god. Because even though your actions are saying you are not a sin your heart does. The heart is what takes you to heaven not your words and actions.
This was SO good 🥺💞 Thank you!!!! Love the two of you together
I recently got delivered from homosexuality and I love this video💙
Yea, sure. Just like the thousands of 'ex gays' who came out and said they were lying when Exodus International shut down some years ago. No one is 'delivered from homosexuality' because sexuality is not a choice and cannot change from one day to the next. It's scientifically impossible. You can be bisexual and choose to repress your gay desires or not act on them, but no one goes form 100% gay to 100% straight because of God. Stop the lies.
@@RationalistMHjust respect their decision…
@@RationalistMH calm down
@@RationalistMH oh my they are here 🙂
How exactly do you get delivered from homosexuality?
This is so real and raw and beautiful to hear as a young follower of Jesus in this society🤍
“And they had this show RuPaul‘s drag race playing on the TV” “what is that 💅”
this hits deep especially after getting saved & breaking up with my girlfriend because i was asking for intimacy with Jesus & slowly the lustful urges went away. i was so scared to tell her but i did & now i feel no attraction i just miss being close with my Father 🦋🩷 thank you for sharing y’all! these hate comments really prove how people are trying to make evil GOOD & good EVIL
our generation is going to bring a lot of people back home. i was thinking i could be a lesbian while having Christian values. knowing i wanted all of it & not being lukewarm Christian.
too many sad people projecting in the comments we have to pray for them
This was so good brothers! Giving me hope! Thank you
My testimony hasn’t been told but it’s gonna be one for the book.
THIS IS SO POWERFUL!! I felt the Holy Spirit thru the phone! Praise God! I felt conviction in this with the private browser part and I completely forgot about it until now! Like why do I even have it on my phone!? Thank for sharing your powerful testimony! Praise God that we are brothers and sisters in Christ❤ 1:25:58 and on is so powerful!!!
I just wanted to say this video was so good because you and Rashad were just open to being used by God to share your (mainly Rashad's) testimony and give good advice/the truth on what it means to truly seek Christ. This is an issue that is very prevalent right now, so I am grateful that you and Rashad were willing to speak up on it because it is touching a lot of souls. Much love to you all, brothers in Christ 🫶🏽.
Thank you so much for sharing and being bold and courageous. So so so grateful for you both sharing your stories ❤
halfway through the video 🔥 thank you Jesus for these testimonies!!! GLORY TO GOD
I'm so proud of you guys for sharing this your testimonys were beautiful I love you Carew! ❤
Very POWERFUL!!! Thank both of you. I was truly blessed by God while watching it
This podcast is truly something special. Not only did it open my eyes, but it made me realize that I had never just directly prayed to God about my struggles. I realized that I never demanded to be broken free in Jesus' name. What you two do is truly amazing, and I will always be thankful to God I came across this video. I truly believe I have started something new in my life, and I give all glory to God.
Praise Jesus God is using you for his glory ✝️❤️
Thank you for keeping it real and Biblical.
God set me free from homosexuality in March 2023. Following your journey has been so inspiring to know there are others out there like me whom God has called to freedom. Thank you both for your bravery and boldness for the gospel. You inspire me SO much. HALLELUJAH!!!!
Nothing "sets you free" from homosexuality. If you're gay, you cannot get rid of that. Now, if you mean to say that you are choosing to live a life of celibacy, or that you are in a relationship with a woman despite not being sexually attracted to them, that's fine, but it doesn't change the fact that you're still gay.
Ok, Karen.
@@scottmoore7588 I have no reason or anything to gain from lying or being dishonest about what God has done for me and millions of other people that have sought Him. My testimony is on my channel, I encourage you to listen! God bless you.
I am curious, when you were set free from homosexuality, does this mean you:
1) no longer feel any same-sex attractions (e.g. exclusively heterosexual) OR
2) still experience same-sex attractions, but choose not to identify with or pursue them
@@DanSmith01ave thanks for your question. To begin, I think it’s important that to note that “heterosexuality” is not a fruit of the spirit, but self-control is. To directly answer honestly, I would say, yes, my attractions have changed. That’s not to say I don’t experience temptations in that area because it’s where I’ve been set free so the enemy tries to get my mind back in that way at times. By the power of the Spirit I am able to redirect my thoughts if I am ever tempted with same-sex fantasies. Deeper in to your question, personally I was always attracted to women as well as men, but pursued men exclusively for a period of my life because the attraction was stronger. I had no desire to engage in any form of heterosexual relationship or romance. After being set free through prayer and fasting, God 100% redirected my vision. My desire to date men was gone, the desire to pursue them sexually, all of that, was taken away, because I prayed for God to help me in that area, and I was willing to give it up and walk in obedience no matter the cost. It takes a level of true love for Him to be able to overcome this sin of same-sex lifestyle/attraction, because it becomes rooted in your “identity.” I would say it’s a combination of both because it’s not a black and white issue, if that makes sense, given the information I’ve shared. It’s not so much that God “made me straight,” but rather gave me a much stronger desire for holiness, a heterosexual marriage if that’s what He wills for me, and the fruit of self-control in the face of same-sex temptation if that ever does comes up. And I will say it’s not difficult nor impossible, and I don’t consider it to be suppressing anything, rather yielding to His will instead of the old flesh patterns I engaged with for so long. I hope that answers your question. God bless. 😇🫶🏼
If you are questioning your sexuality or gender identity, talk to someone who will accept you either way. If you are afraid of being gay or trans, don’t be. Millions of queer people live happily; they are loved by others, and they love themselves. If you’re meant to, you can be like those people - living not with a secret shame, but instead living with pride. Who is the one person you could honestly tell how it makes you feel when you hear the word gay?
This podcast is good!!!!! Y'all have such a great testimony to tell!!!🔥✝️
Não existe ex gay!! Não existe cura para o que não é doença !!.
@@nicolasoliveira3653 okay buddy keep on telling yourself that
I’m a gay Catholic and I know God loves me for who I am and that he made me this way!!
Then you didn’t learn anything, yes God love you but man does he not approve of that sinful identity, read the scripture man, seek the truth and be free
@@oscarvega1943 There's no 'sinful identity'. 200 years ago Christians said being black was a mark of the devil that justified slavery. Your brand of bigotry is just the latest in a long list. And people are over it.
@oscarvega1943, so then he must not approve of straight people either.
This piece of content is so offensive
@@Cixte3n the video? I know.
i struggled with this with myself and was really convinced that it was normal but yet i always felt guilty and was scared to be caught. but since finding Jesus i can truly say he’s delivered me from these thoughts and ways ❤️ i thought i was going to have to take this secret to the grave but Jesus truly delivered me from it
There's nothing 'not normal' about being gay. Your churches can teach people to hate themselves all they want to, but people are waking up. Religious bigotry is still bigotry. End of.
@@RationalistMH church didn’t teach me to hate myself, i did that. maybe church hurt you when you were younger but it’s not about the church, it’s about the message and who’s giving that message. Jesus saved me, not church. i don’t have any judgment or hate towards the gay community, we can all get closer to God. God bless ❤️
You’ve been indoctrinated
@@calebdidit You felt guilty because you probably grew up in an environment where being gay was a very taboo. Christianity in general makes a lot people feel shame about anything related to sexuality.
@@ohuntermc9321 i get what you’re saying but still not true, i knew it wasn’t in my character but i was feeding into it. it was more so kids from school and my Dad that would say things like that to me but it didn’t really affect me till my later years. again, i was born again and he’s takin me away from that sin, God bless ❤️
this podcast saved me thank you to both of you ily
This is SO good, Thank you Carew
Wow! Such great testimony. Really so inspiring and encouraging! I pray I will be able to follow a similar path as I have felt the Lord pursuing me for years and have been making the early steps of following him and turning away from my worldly ways and influences.
Quem disse que homossexualidade é algo mundano? Não existe ex gay , o único pecado é a prosmicuidade!!
as long as you’re loving a life that doesn’t negatively harm yourself or anyone else, I believe that’s the most important thing. no matter what your sexuality is, you were made beautifully in His image ❤
That isn’t exactly biblical
@@KN_builds Yea we know. Hatred and bigotry is your brand of 'biblical' Christianity. Christian slaveowners in this country also thought considering black people to be literal animals was the word of the Gospel. Something tells me you would have been right there supporting them.
no
I will definitely have to agree with you. The Bible is a translation by man, we truly don't know what God will have to say about being gay and being a Christian. Love is love regardless of whom it is, I feel that you can be a Christian and be gay. I'm really Suprised people are bringing down people who are gay. Like they belive in God, they belive in his teaching, they just love some one of the same sex. If live your life and just be real about things and give him all the glory respect that he gave his only sin, to be tortured ridiculed and killed just for his beliefs So here in this podcast you both basically state the because you are gay you can't be a Christian. I disagree whith both of you on this matter. It is not or place to judge. Upon the final days we will be judged and there he will judge us, it's not man's place to judge or make statements such as this. It's not factual
@@KN_builds I don’t remember asking + who cares
Thank you for talking about the hard topics Carew. This is such a touchy subject in todays world but we need to not shy away from it just to make other people comfortable. As Christian’s we receive so much backlash when we bring up anything in regards to this community but the truth needs to be preached. Keep being a light Carew and don’t let any hate get to you ❤️
It's not a touchy subject. It's a group of people relentlessly hating on and spreading vile propaganda about a minority group, and you want to not be called out on your hatred because 'the bible said so'. I think not.
"A half truth is a full lie." So true This was a such a good episode!
I eccepted Jesus 33 years ago. I've been praying God would deliver me from homosexality for 33 years. Sometimes i feel he's not listening.
Self hatred becomes Homophobia.
You cannot stop being gay. It’s who you are. You are born that way. Jesus loves people who are gay. and I despise of labels. Jesus loves me gay, straight, darker skin tone, lighter skin tone, happiness, depression, anxiety, addiction. RuPaul is an icon. And I feel so sorry they he grew up with such hateful, ignorant people.
Jesus does love you. But He didn’t create you gay. Jesus calls all sin to be repented of❤️
@@Sarah-vj6qrmm if god don’t make gay ppl then why do we know there’s a genetic reason for being gay also you can’t repent of being gay lmao it’s proven not work conversion therapy is just fucking torture
God loves everyone but He still hates the sin. We are all born sinners. We were all born that way. It was who we all were. So yes you are born that way and yes you that is who you are. But when we accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior we become born again a new creature in Christ. When we are born again into the family of God, we are no longer a sinner.
Did you watch the entire video?
@@molly2frodo222 No, because it’s untutored.
I was never exposed to gay porn before I felt the attraction to other boys. And there has never been the slightest bisexuality, or attraction both to men and women, to which I ever can relate.
I'm glad you mentioned that coz all these gay testimonies are always centered around porn addiction, promiscuity and addiction to drugs and alcohol as if that's exclusive to gay people
@@thori_ginoYeah and I have never been exposed either to drugs or alcohol.
God bless you two! This convo and this kind of content needs to be PLATFORMED and EVANGELIZED
The power of the cross indeed, I am so honor you guys being disciples of Christ. I was raised in Pentecostal church, an preach son who was molested by seduction at 9 yrs. old my first homosexual experience by a 16 yrs.old relative.
I kept secret until 22 yrs.old. I had enterain the homsexul life style fully.
I am now a senior in my 60s no longer act on homosexual experiences,places or things.
Yes,I die daily from old behaviors.
I have a soultie with someone long distance has stop the connection for years.
God, has kept me thus when I couldn't keep my self. The Holy Spirit will lead and guide you through all things.
I am so happy for all whom come out of the homosexual spirit. Amen!
I struggled with Drug addiction, pornography, and just being a decent person overall, but homosexuality is not something that changed when i got saved, so i disagree with this as a whole because being gay is not perversion. Perversion is perversion. But being in a healthy, loving, gay relationship with your partner who is hopefully also transformed by the blood of Jesus, is not wrong. I prayed for God to take this away from me my entire life, and i haven't ever had a conviction about being "gay" but i have had convictions about my sex addictions and drug addictions
Hi brother. Unfortunately, feelings are not a good measure to see if something is wrong or not. The heart is deceitful and our flesh opposes the spirit. The Word of God is extremely clear about who will inherit the kingdom. I pray that you would separate yourself from all ungoldy influence, and seek the truth for yourself❤
the Bible literally says it's a sin in Romans 1
@TruthRevealed982 but is the word homosexuality or gay used at all?
@@serena1269you are saved by putting your trust in Jesus Christ alone for your salvation. It’s a gift, it’s free
Im a disciple and struggle with same sex attraction. the struggle is real !
Yes it is
You don’t have to repent of your sins to be saved. You can be a gay christian
@@MrLegirtagel your only deceiving yourself
@@giginoriega I used to believe in the “repent of your sins” gospel from when I was 16 to 19. I was in constant fear and bondage when I couldn’t repent of my sins. Constantly asking “to be forgiven” Until I saw someone on TH-cam with the opposite view of me when I was 20, I argued and said “but faith without works is dead” and I was hit with like 50 verses that said faith alone. And after several days, I realized they were right. To be saved, you trust/believe in Jesus Christ alone for your salvation. Whether you like it or not, repenting of sins is seen as works (filthy rags) and you are trusting in yourself.
@ To turn to God to receive Forgiveness from sins implies turning away from your sins. To be follower of Jesus, we can’t just say we believe in him and then live any way we choose neither can we simply live a moral life without a personal relationship with God because good behavior cannot bring forgiveness from sin. Ask God to help you rid your life of any sins he points out, and then allow him to transform you so you live in a way that please him not your sinful nature. Praying for you I know is hard especially when you don’t have the help you need and the right ppl around you to help to guide you 🙏🏽🥺
You can be gay and be loved by god. Religion is a choice and being gay, bi, lesbian, etc., is not. If I truly had a choice, I would not want to be gay, but here I am. I love myself and I know god loves me.
Hey! God does love all of us, but there should be a clear distinction on whether you have made sexuality your identity… when we introduce ourselves we dont say hi “I am a heterosexual, or I am gay” if we make sexuality our identity, then everything around it, problems, relationships revolve around the fact that you think or somebody else thinks that sexuality is their identity when in reality, all of us are more than our sexuality. Hope it makes sense, we shouldnt use Gods love in any way to justify our sinful nature, and that goes for us all. Have a blessed day. Not in any way should I be the one to convince you of anything, I leave it in Gods hands. I just felt the need to tell you this.
@@lucianalandazuri5378 great comment
Yes to be a gay is not a choice we just born this way
here’s how i see it, God gave us free WILL. we are not born gay, we are born sinful. God gave us free will to either follow Him (and His Word) or follow the world (and worldly desires). I also believe you can’t claim to be Christian and go against everything the Word of God says.
also like they said “God will never give you a purpose against his will and his word” therefore your not born gay, it’s a choice. in fact literally every thing is a choice, we can either choose God or the world
What a weird way to approach humanity.
Is ur pod mainly focused on the lgtbq...community...past n present?
Emileee spirit is one of a kind. Thank you for sharing this!
Ive never seen anyone hate themselves to this level. This is really depressing
What’s equally as sad is seeing all of the people in the comments who hate themselves. This is what religion does, it twists your mind.
they don’t hate themselves, they love God more than the thing that offends Him.
It’s not hate. It’s loving God and God gives us more life than our own desires. Our desires lead us to death, but God gives us life!
They Love God over their sinfulness and God will reward them with eternal life for doing so. And because they love God this shows that they love themselves!
Videos like this make me so grateful that I walked away from religion. Especially as a gay man.
Prayer is powerful too and I’m pretty sure that helped to staying in contact with God as you progress to give your life to Christ!! ❤️ love this thank you Jesus for deliverance… this is the best way to live!! ❤️
Hope you see this… you should talk about the strength/power in prayer!! ❤️🫶🏾
Seriously I've never heard anything so ridiculous in all my life.
