Michael thank you for this interview. I'm grateful for you and your work as a brother papist. I am a former protestant and convert of almost twenty years. Now l’m a ten year old priest that really appreciates the good work you do in the culture war. I liked your book Speechless as it set the stage for me to understand why we are where we are. I used to say the TLM and smoke cigars so we have a fair amount in common. Thank you.
I was r@ped as a child by an older sibling and also identified as queer and trans, last year I opened my heart to not only God but to myself, my true self, the wounded scared little girl that I tried to hide away for years and I found my beautiful feminine self again ❤️ I have never been happier truly!
God bless you sister! Through the grace of god and through your own resilience, I’m so happy that you found Jesus and that you’re finding your feminine self once again. I’m truly so sorry that you had to go through that trauma to find yourself, but know that you’ve just secured a place in the kingdom of heaven where all of your traumas and of your ailments will be washed away and you will be born again. We love you! ❤
I have a son named Phillip - I prayed and I will remember to pray for you also- Gods Word say what concern you is of the Utmost Concern To Him … Jesus Is The Prince Of Peace - Rest In Him 💜✝️
It took me 13 years to start to detransition. Just let him know he is loved. When told I was living wrong, it only made me dig my heels in more. I had to see a sliver of my experience used in an obvious wrong way for me to wake up. Seeing that children were being targeted and folks were taking away others constitutional free speech rights with pronouns, it made me halt in my tracks and look at myself.
"I'm so wildly attracted to my wife that I don't feel that there is any room for any other desire. I'm so crazy about you-" The Lord bless their marraige
I'm a straight married women and I am just in awe of how much these people love each other and Jesus. My husband may feel about me the way this man does toward his wife but omg! To hear it as this guy says it made me start balling. So completely beautiful.
I couldn’t agree with you more. These two can make great movements through the glory of god and their own experiences. This generation of kids are being manipulated by institutions and by media into believing that they’re LGBT when in reality, many of them are not!
Transsexuals can help as well & we All should be tog for this going on w children. I've helped 3 teens so far decide to cancel their 1st appts for hrt. The difference is we can give the difficult life experiences.
A person should also not be so weak minded to be affected to the point they change their entire sexual preference over a negative comment said from a person. That to me is even more insane.
I am straight married adult woman. But I was molested many times as a child and it really messed me up. Especially when I was molested by an adult woman at the age of 11. Probably a decade after that I struggled with attraction to the same sex and even things that are so evil I can only talk to God about it. All I can say is praise the Lord for the power of the blood.God, in his love and mercy towards me, removed even the stain of sin. I can’t even remember the pornography I witnessed or the gross things I took part in. He liberated me from all of it. And I will praise His name for all of eternity.❤❤❤❤❤
I’m so sorry those things happened to you. I’m also so glad God held on to you and you held on to Him so that you can live life the way He intends for us to live. You must be a strong woman to face the challenges you have but still be steadfast in what you know is right and wrong. I know it hasn’t been easy. Prayers for you.
@@momsmushroomsjodyfoster5786 , I'm so sorry that adults did horrible things to you. I'm sorry you lost your way as a result of those atrocities. I'm happy you reached out to God and now know the meaning of unconditional love. May God continue to guide your mind, body, heart and for the rest of your life🙏❤️.
I love how Nick looks at Lex and retells their story talking to her and affirming her. It's very sweet. I pray their Christian marriage lasts for the rest of their lives.
Purity, genuine authenticity and care for one another, I see one, not two, they are one in spirit, thanks be to God, Jesus, the Homy Trinity, redemption, forgiveness, salvation, the lamb’s perfect blood
This is one of the only interviews where childhood trauma and abuse aren’t just glossed over when they’re brought up. Bravo, Michael, for going there. This dirty secret needs to be exposed more in a loving way. These families need help.
As a Christian, it’s unacceptable that other Christians have shown you so much rejection. It’s not Christ-like and I’m so sorry that is your experience.
I think a lot of fellow Christians want us to be celibate forever. I say this as a man who is bisexual. There's this belief that men like me cannot be good husbands to women. Even when we don't act on our same sex desires, we are still not accepted as potential husbands-despite the fact that we bisexual men are still attracted to women.
@@Alexander44665 That's really terrible I'm sorry. I actually know someone ( in my tiny town) who is bi and he got married to a woman. They have children together and he is a good person/ partner. I don't think it's bi men can't be good husbands. I think it's no different than someone with only an attraction to women or men not cheating or stepping out of the relationship. I mean everyone has attractions to ppl they are not with they just choose to not act on it. I see no difference with a bi man ( he can choose to not step out and be fulfilled by his partner). I think women tend to avoid dating bi men because they are already nervous about the possibility of cheating ( just with women) , and if he likes men too that opens up a bunch more options for cheating. 2nd that may make the woman think she can't fully fulfill the guy if he has an attraction to men ( her not being enough). 3 Rd she may not be able to move past the thought of him with a man. I think his chances for a relationship are higher if he has the attraction to men, but hasn't acted on it though. I do think there are women out here who would accept it as I've seen it happen ( in my small world). I hope you are able to find the right person for you! I don't believe in same sex relations of course, but that does not mean I think you shouldn't find love and happiness. It's really sad to see so many people who say they are Christian and they love Jesus, but find it ok to judge other people. I leave all of that up to our creator and to the person. If you ask Jesus to bring you your life partner, and you are meant to have one then he will. Some of us are called to be single ( but it's a smaller portion) and the rest do have a perfect match out there. 🙂
HEY! There is not such a thing to be Christian and be mean. There is such a thing as call themselves that. When you truly knows God, you don’t have any need to be mean. PERIOD. Please know the difference.
As a non-denominational Christian, I love this story! I have no idea why other Christians would be anything but thrilled for this transformed couple. I know my church would love to hear their story and would welcome them in with open arms!
I agree! My church would love to hear their story and have them as a guest. These two can really help so many in our world today. Satin has his claws in humanity more than ever before it seems. We’re living in an upside down world with most of us feeling confused, brainwashed, lied to and questioning everything on all sides. Discernment is one of the 9 gifts God gives us when we accept Jesus. People just need to let Him in, give Him a chance to change their life and show the truth.
I’m a Presbyterian and I was surprised at that part. Sounds like people misunderstood their story and thought that Lex was MtF trans instead of FtM back to F.
I’m a Christian. I am not gay or transgender. God used this to speak to me about my own stuff. He used this interview to show me His power and glory. Blown away. Thank you for sharing your story. Know it speaks to everyone, not just a certain group.
I watched this, and was in my car and prayed again to god & Holy Spirit to solve a dispute with my siblings that’s been there since our mother died 4.5 years (land+Irish go figure!) Ago. No lies, I arrived home and while I was closing my gate to my home my brother came upon me. At the end of the conversation, I refused to be reactive, I had no fear stayed calm, he withdrew his objections. This was a grace from God and I’m overwhelmed. Letting go to god and he works miracles 🙏✝️
I was bi, I was a feminist, I was atheist, I was suffering and I was suicidal since childhood. God set me free. Now all I want to want is Him. Only He can do that. I hope this couple helps a lot of people leave homosexuality and leave the trans cult, and come to Christ.
Michael has this tendency to go into debates and conversations where you'd expect someone like him (religious, right) to be unrelenting and overtly superior. Never, ever has he stooped to that level. He holds his beliefs while still respecting every individual he comes across. Thank you so much for being the one to do these kinds of interviews. ❤
Any Christian that doesn’t believe God can use this beautiful couple doesn’t understand the gospel. Their testimony is powerful and shows God’s love, mercy and grace in such a beautiful way.
I think Christians who reject them may only want "clean" Christianity and may be afraid of the powerful transformation God intends in all of us. Otherwise, I don't know why a fellow believer would not rejoice with them.
I just wish God would help all the starving and dying children! But nah let's make sure people aren't gay or trans! What a mysterious lovely figure you believe in
@@studenheim8388 I understand why you feel this way, but it boils down to free will. God did not force these people to de transition and surrender to him. They did it freely. as much as it sucks sometimes God won’t just throw food in somebody’s lap because that would take away the poor choices that somebody else made ultimately getting rid of free will. He is a gentlemen and gently whispers what we need to do it’s just too many of us don’t listen such as the greedy billionaires and politicians harming the people
@@studenheim8388 How many starving and dying children are YOU helping? God made a way for humans to help each other. If greed and selfishness didn’t exist, there would be no starving children.
I had the privilege of meeting Lex at a prayer event in TN where she shared some of her testimony. The love for Jesus that pours out of her is so real and beautiful. I pray that God uses you both mightily for the Kingdom of Heaven!!
That’s cool, because every alarm bell I have is going off. Over compensating their love the way they act overly sweet. Mentally I’ll for decades and just turn on a dime. He clearly kept his gay lisp and mannerisms that are generally forced and learned. I don’t trust them at all but I wish them the best
We must always share Truth - 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 of perversion, and completely healed and restored every failing organ. Glory to God!
I identified as a butch lesbian since the age of 10. I continued that life for over 40 years. I was invited a go to a Church by a friend. I said these words" Lord Jesus come into my heart, I repent of my sins, I make you my Lord and Savior." It took a few years for me to totally stop identifying as gay but in my heart I knew it almost immediately after saying those words. I didn't have to do a thing. Jesus started cleaning me from the inside out very gently. Not only did he change my desire for another woman, he made me the woman I was meant to be. No I'm not with a man. I have no desire to be with anyone "as a couple". All sexual desire is gone too. I can now look at a man or woman and admire their beauty without any lust or attraction whatsoever. I wake with Jesus, I walk throughout the whole day in the company of Jesus and when I lay my head in my pillow JESUS is right there watching over me all night! ,,To God be the Glory!!!
@@markandmargie7331 , thank you. What's amazing too is that I'm still here. My story would fill a river with tears but those tears were for Gods eyes only. He wiped my tears embraced me and saved my life when I was finally able to scream out " Make me or take because I cannot live like this anymore". I surrendered and he took over. I am completely and only his... Thank You Jesus🙏💕
Her mom told her she was a freak because she was raped. No, she was a "freak" because her mother didn't love and accept her. Her husband healed her with love and acceptance and God put them together so they could heal each other.
God loves her mother too. He wants her to be redeemed. We can’t be hating on either persons. Pray for her mother. You don’t know what she has been through. What if you found out that she was abused as a child? It could be a generational curse. Just love and pray.
I understood this differently. The way I understood it is: "that explains why you've become a freak (= lesbian/trans)". Not much better but maybe slightly...
I was a lesbian with mild gender dysphoria when I was saved on the 2nd September 1992. I later had a psychotic breakdown and was told I was demon possessed. God healed me from schizophrenia, depression and a severe obsessive neurosis and from several addictions.
So Were you actually possessed? Did you have exorcism? Or how did you heal? I’m curious because my friend’s sister was introduced to “Santeria” some demonic rituals and then she tried to get closer to Jesus but something weird happened to her. She lost her rationality, she cut her hair herself like a crazy person, threw herself down the stairs, and supposedly she might have schizophrenia. I’m praying for her, I never hang out with her but as a Catholic we also believe in possession. My friend, is not a Cristian but I’ve been talking to her about my Catholic faith and told her that I’m going to try to help her too, so we can figure out if is really schizophrenia or possession. And now I just see this message
@@foechicken8023 I am Catholic and am Trans-fem and Lesbian. The only thing i need to worry about is my Faith in God. Not other people. My sins are my own and my Gender ID and who i love is not a sin. All i need to remember is the to greatest Commandments Mark 12:28-31. Anyone that says i am wrong Re-read Matthew 7:1-4 and be concerned without your own sins.
Quran 5: 72: Those who say, “God is the Messiah, son of Mary,” have certainly fallen into disbelief. The Messiah ˹himself˺ said, “O Children of Israel! Worship God-my Lord and your Lord.” Whoever associates others with God ˹in worship˺ will surely be forbidden Paradise by God. Their home will be the Fire. And the wrongdoers will have no helpers.
I’m a straight, 45 year-old mom and I think this is one of the most beautiful love stories I’ve ever heard! It made me weep and praise Jesus for the transformative power of the Holy Spirit in their lives! I pray God blesses them with many more children and years of happiness!
The fact that this is so common tells you something. A real man & real woman who call themselves all kinds of things, end up together somehow and realize they actually do love having heterosexual sex & being in a loving, normal relationship. 😂😂
Does your husband still identify as a woman? Sorry, to pry because my daughter started dating a trans woman and now has come out as bisexual to explain why she is dating a man who is in the process of transitioning. He seems like a nice, but very troubled boy and unfortunately introduced my daughter to a group that has led her away from us.
You have changed my views of lgbt people as well as people with tatoo and piercings. Every time i see an lgbt person, i will remember you both and try to be more compassionate. Thank you for your witness, to Him be glory forever and ever
I know what you mean. I see trans and gay people with compassion, praying for them to give themselves to the Lord so He can heal them and change their hearts because the Lord loves them.
I was Sexually abused at 5 yrs old. My parents never talked to me about the sexual abuse. If is so hurtful when they ignore your hurts. But Jesus healed me now. When your parents ignore you God becomes your mother and father.
I have your sqme story of childhood. Its so hard to try and understand how my mother just acted like nothing happened to me (more times than can be counted) then when i became an adult and was trying to heal myself, before I knew Jesus, i confronted my mother and her and her bf physically attached me in front of my 3 year old. I guess she just couldnt admit to it.
I identified as pansexual for a long time. I grew up Lutheran and went to a Lutheran school k-8. When I was realizing that I was experiencing same sex attraction I prayed for it to go away from 6-8th grade. It didn't go away. I leaned into it for years leaving the faith. Through God's grace He led me back to Him. I became Catholic. I didn't focus on being gay or not being gay. I eventually realized I didn't struggle with it anymore. I'm now happily married to a Catholic man with two kids.
Blessed the Lord. Adolescence can be a confusing time in many ways. Thank God Our Lord took You out of that confusion. Loving God is loving what's right and being convicted on it.
My son is gay for the last 40 years. I’ve never turned my back on him, but he’s turned his back on me and his sisters. He doesn’t speak to us. He has nothing to do with us, but we’ve tried, but he doesn’t accept us. I pray for him that he wakes up one morning, and sees that his life is not the right one
Same. My situation is with my husband’s brother. He is gay & extremely politically radical. It’s difficult to be in the same room with him because he will inevitably start the gay rhetoric
He might feel that you've rejected him, or you will reject him, so he doesn't want to subject himself to that. It would destroy his psyche. Have you tried reaching out to him and telling him you'll support him as your son? You'll always be there for him? You'll try to understand him and where he's at? So many people crave understanding and compassion. Leave the judgment to Jesus.
The homosexual "culture" is one of gratification above all else. It's a destructively powerful and simple mechanism to ensnare. As someone on the other side of it myself. Love your son and don't judge him for his sins. That doesn't mean you have to approve of it either, of course.
As a woman who identified as Christian lesbian for over 12 years I absolutely agree 100% with what these 2 are saying! I am happily married to an incredible man with 2 children now but the struggle at that time was so very real! God changed my heart, my desires and my mind and I am so incredibly in love with my husband but back then I was a hurting and struggling young woman. Lexa also touched on something that I noticed a lot in the gay community, the vast majority of people lost their innocence at startlingly young ages in very nonconsensual ways.
I was "played" with, by another child who had obviously lost his own innocence. I thank God I was not messed with by an older person because I was always attracted to men ( I am a XX woman), but my sexuality was awoken at a horribly young age, and that is so damaging, because it ruined my childhood, my innocence was exchanged for being self aware in ways that should have not blossomed until puberty.
That's the secret the enemy wants suppressed, that deviant sexual identities almost always spring from childhood when perversion is experienced, either via sexual abuse or visual or sensual stimulation of a child. Another door the enemy uses to situate sexually deviant behaviour in a child is spiritually if the parents or home have been defiled. Nobody is born gay/trans.
Please can you tell me how you broke free from that lifestyle as my daughter is very confused and being isolated and manipulated by those who don't have her best interests at heart. Any advice? Anything I can do?
That is SO true!!!! I just thought of that! They said I had to have my perfectly normal uterus removed before they would give me hormones to get me through menopause. Wow😢(family history of uterine cancer) even though cancer is a metabolic disease MOSTLY. NOT GENETIC! The doctors are lying to us, people!
“God, this guy is just widely attractive”, “I’m just so in love with my wife etc”, “I’m just so crazy about you”. Those two are so cute, I can’t stop smiling when they talk about each other
They are a cute couple. I loved the way Nick would turn to Lex and say "You....", including her in the conversation instead of talking to Michael about her. So sweet!
Your rejection is not from the Christian's, it's from the religious church people. A true Christian will embrace you as a child of God. Keep being such a great representation of Christ's love.
I think you're right that this can happen with religious people. But not always, I think that's a generalisation. For a lot of Christians having your child say they are gay or trans is very difficult to process. Sometimes, we act in haste, react badly. Largely as we are dealing with our own sins. God has to pull us up, correct us and show us the truth. We all need prayer and guidance. The closer we walk with Him the less likely this would happen, or we will hear from Him more swiftly.
Kids also take minor correction and control and morph and internalize what ACTUALLY happened and make it much bigger than it was. It’s fact. Many times these “traumas” are bullshit that morphed in the mind of the person who held onto it
@@TheBajaminit’s because those things as a parent isn’t significant, is huge for a kid, they take things too the heart and it’s your job as a parent too watch what you say and do and be a good fucken parent no excuse. But there are things that some kids may never get over until there adults I’m 24 and still struggle too not hate my mom. She was never there for us tweaking on meth and lost us too our dad he’s the best. But she went off and jus had another kid and forgot about us. She comes around sometimes and I genuinely despise her
My heart literally broke in tears, when she talked about her abuse at 7yrs and 5yrs. She told her mom & she said "thats why you are a freak?"😢 so sad. Girl you are free now. Speaking out about your abuse, sets you free.
@LuckyStar-shines its truly amazing, it gives me such great hope hearing that her mom repented later in life, shortly before she died. God is so good he can rescue anyone. Thank you Jesus
I literally felt that in my chest and tears in my eyes at that point. I became more obersevant as I learned about Judaisim and one major focus is child education, taking a parenting class for a year that is dual for yourself and your future child. A lot of people as single men or women need to take such a class BEFORE dating.
This is the best thing I like about Knowles, he's genuinely interested in the people he's interviewing, hearing their story and setting aside his politics.
Michael Knowles has to be one of the best conversationalists I have seen. He is so compassionate without setting aside logic and he holds to truth without denigrating the other party. This was one of the best interviews I have ever seen and their story is beautiful and needs to be heard. Well done. What a brave young couple.
The way her husband looks at her while she’s giving her testimony like he wants to hurt everything that hurt her is just so precious ❤can’t wait to meet the one God has for me
At around 4:50 is a seemingly small yet precious exchange. Nick is speaking and Lex interrupts. She realizes she cut him off and apologises for interrupting. He acknowledges her apology and let's her speak.
This must be one of the most powerful and beautiful episodes of the channel.. I'm just a straight male christian crying about the transforming power of God on display here.
This being just a clip I can't really say? The part about her aborting her if she had known is inexcusable! I'd be willing to bet though that her Mom was an alcoholic. It mentioned her pouring a glass of wine, something tells me it wasn't her first
God set me free from same sex attraction in 2017 🩷 I met my husband shortly after and we’ve been together for 7 years 🥹 God showed me I was pretending to be lesbian for male attention and it stemmed from my childhood trauma with my father. God is so good. His design is the best for us.
I was a 13 year opiate addict when i really surrendered my life to Christ. During the sanctification process i grew to hate the addiction. I read my Bible daily,prayed and weeped to the Lord for months ,the closer I got to Him the more my faith grew and the more i wanted Him instead of the drug that controlled me. Sanctification is different for everyone some people do complete changes overnight,some take time ,but if you have sincerely surrendered to Jesus He will make you a brand new creation! He did it for me! No rehab,no medical help,no therapy ,only Jesus! Hes more than enough!
@@sethjones5250wow. Just wow. It’s like people hear this testimony and still say garbage like this smh. Just such a bizarre statement to make while trying to take away glory for this story of Redemption.
Jesus set me free from debauchery, sexual deviance, and lesbianism! I am a new creation in Christ thanks be to the One True & Living God of the Bible! ❤❤❤❤
I have a ton of respect for these two. They were able to admit together that their lifestyle was wrong and they both made a 180 and changed together. Remaining together through it all. That takes a lot of humility which is extremely scarce today.
Can I just point out the beauty that Lex was being mentored even while she was still confused about her sexuality. That is so beautiful that that Pastor took his time to disciple her and let God reveal his true purpose and plan for her. I think we need more of those leaders
I LOVE the way he talks to her throughout the conversation.... confirming his love and desire and attraction for her and her only. He dotes on her! So pure, these two! 🤗
It's like Michael isn't even in the room. They just focused on each other with so much love. With each response, they confirm each other's experiences with love and support.
OH MY LORD, that's crazy. I was in musical theatre and also introduced to homosexuality through a love for acting and music. I was homosexual in highschool in a relationship with another man for a year, eventually believed I was born in the wrong body. Thank God that he delivered me out from those demonic voices speaking upon me and compelling me to evil.
This is the reason I stopped teaching drama at school. When I didn’t have enough males to fill a male role, I felt very uncomfortable asking girls to dress up and act as a male (and vice versa). I realized the slippery slope of “identifying as…something that they were not as created as.” Even one of the skits we did had a student act out as a dog. All of the skits were simple and well received with Christian themes (at a Christian school). But seeing documentaries where our culture is so confused, I felt it violated my conscious to teach drama because I didn’t want to add to the confusion.
@@dubosesjoy yah it's extremely blurry what kind of things can lead us into strongholds. Kids are often just too young to always be expected to segregate the lines between them, even teenagers and adults can be tricked into things. I never had an experience of acting like something I wasn't persé like a dog or a woman, but the first serious instructor I had was an effeminate man, which by itself is okay. He was married to a woman with kids of his own (at least I think, he was very private of his personal life because he didn't want us finding some of his previous work), but it became a common theme in our classes after the one year he served us that great actors act a bit gay.
Wow!! This is the EXACT story I’ve been waiting for!! I am a 36years old man but I have feelings for man and I always feel so sad and angry with myself. I am a Christian and I know that sooner or later, my Lord and Saviour JESUS CHRIST will change me. Thank you both for your testimony. 🙏🏻
You can live a beautiful chast life serving Our Lord and humanity specially the most vulnerable Even in your life your nephews, nieves, eldery parents, grandparents.
This time is for you to really build your relationship with Christ... and HE will fulfill the void until (if) He sees fit to bring you to a partnership with a spouse. Prayers! ♡
i love your faith 🙏🏾, remember when you’re asking the lord to change you , he does not focus on that one part of you, but all of you , to the person he sees the potential in you to become
This gave me a lot of hope. My sister has identified herself as a lesbian for years and is now dating a man who pretends to be a woman. I really hope for a similar outcome.
You can sit with me at church! I'm so so sorry that you have experienced rejection in the Christian community. That's not a truly Christian community! I'm so so excited to see you two. What a HUGE mission field you have ahead of you.
My only issue with the "hate" they say they're receiving is that it seems to be reserved "online." I would think any healthy bible believing church would embrace this couple. I know I would. Lord knows I was broken without him, I'd be in jail, addicted, or lowlife scum without becoming a new creation in Christ. I just know that. Why wouldn't I accept friendship with these new believers rescued by the Lord?
@@sirsaint88they mentioned about it being mostly online, or people still thinking she was an actual man at first, or just confused people that knew them in their "former" relationship.
And by the way, y'all can set with me at Church ANYTIME! AMEN! I just can't get over this interview. I really needed to hear this. THANK YOU LORD for guiding me to this interview. And one last thing.....this man is SO IN LOVE with his wife! GOD CAN DO ANYTHING! WHAT A MIGHTY GOD THAT WE SERVE! Pastor J.W. Brand (the eunuch preacher).
As a protestant Christian, this is a beautiful story of redemption. I can't imagine a Christian being against them. It's so incredibly outrageous, and unbiblical that churches turned you away! Wow!
I would argue those churches are living far more "carnal" lives than the folks they judge. It's a very worldly thing to turn folks away as though sin is contagious.. like they have leprosy. Christ embraced the lepers.
I love that Nick says, "I knew that I NEEDED a family," not that he just WANTED a family. Something I think our world is losing is the NEED we all have to be connected through family ties.
A guy I went to high school with was the biggest musical theater kid you’ve ever seen, and everyone “just knew” that he was gay, but now he’s married with a family and he’s an awesome husband from what I can see.
Well. A Spanish singer, very very famous--not Julio Iglesias--Raphael, had the gay reputation, I mean his gestures and all. And there was a socialite aristocrat who had a rumored fame for being a Lesbian. They met, married, are still together after having children, I think 3, and around 40 years married.
It is insane how Satan confuses people about their identity but this story is beautiful because it shows how God will turn everything that bad into good. Amazing testimony of grace
My son is in a "gay marriage ".I was so desperate for his soul today that I considered going no contact so he knows the seriousness of his actions. Because of this episode, I will continue to love and pray for them while including them.
You are deranged and incredibly cruel. Please read scientific studies which have proved that being gay is biological, it's not a choice. Your son would be much better off if you did go no contact because you can't accept him for how he was born. You are the tragedy here, not him.
Oof that's really messed up. Shunning your son for his sexuality is really messed up. He might end up doing that with you if don't accept his autonomy. Look I get that you think you'll make him change to save his soul by doing that, but Jesus didn't "go no contact" with Mary Magdaline or the leprous. He embraced them and not shun them. That's so messed up. As a son I'll tell you, if my mom or dad did that. There would be no going back as I would see it as overly cruel and manipulative. I'm telling you this to help you. Put your religious beliefs aside, keep it to yourself and just love and embrace your son and whoever he decides to be with, be there for him. It's not like he killed a person or raped somebody. Don't shun him. Learn more about sexuality and leave it out of your personal relationship with your son. If he decides to be an atheist or convert to another religion; would you then shun him too? Trust me keep your religious beliefs to yourself. Otherwise, you're not going to have a son in your life anymore either because you'll drive him away or he'll cut you off if he continues the marriage and adopts kids. He's not going to want to have an antagonist in his life telling him his family is a sin. Think about it. I know you think it's out of love but that's not how it'll come off. trust me.
How dare you say the Mother has to keep her religious beliefes to herself? Obviously you do not know the scriptures, and surely are religiousphobic. For what it matters, Jesus did NOT EMBRACE MARY MAGDALENE. He Said to her " go and sin no more"... And because She did what He Said, they were friends.... Don't get it twisted, if you think sin is a nothing, meditate on the fact that the Second Person of the Holy Trinity encarnated into a man and came to die a HORRIBLE death on the cross to save your bottom from hell, and here you are, spitting on His face! He don't accept no gay marriage at ALL. He WAS THE DESIGNER OF MARRIAGE AND WHAT HE SAID WAS" A MAN SHALL LEAVE HIS FAMILY AND MARRY A WOMAN". Sure the Mother should not Shun her Son, however, and as harsh as this can sound, BUT, its bíblical, God MUST come in first Over your family, even your Son. Note: straight people get attracted all the time too, we are people too with all kind of emotions, but most of US don't Walk arround sleeping with other people, and if you do, you REPENT! we too make sacrifices, Control our desires and etc, that's the way you go to Heaven, yep, no ONE has it easy!
@@bastilleboo8541 I hope Jesus can take away whatever pain you're facing right now. I too became bitter and resented the Saviour and everything related to him. It wasn't until I opened my heart to him that he took away my pain. God bless you
Age 30 I thrashed with my sin and found myself finally understanding what it actually means to be a sinner. And that that was the start of my deeper understanding of myself and my relationship with God.
I have wanted to marry both a man and a woman since I was 5 years old. I first had this desire when watching the scene in Dirty Dancing where Baby dances between Patrick Swayze and his dance partner. I carried that throughout life, into my relationships, and always battled with the feeling that my monogamous heterosexual relationships were incomplete. I realize now that the desire emerged when my parents went through an extremely volatile divorce and I was taken away from my father. Imagining myself held between a man and a woman gave me comfort and stemmed from my innocent longing to see my family reunify. Childhood trauma holds so much weight in distorted intimate partnerships. I appreciate that this woman’s experiences were highlighted as the source of her confusion.
Being a true woman is being valued less and less. And I'm so glad that God spoke that value back into their lives, especially for Lex. This is so incredibly powerful.
Ex-bisexual here who used to put all of my identity there as a teen who now follows Jesus! I'm grateful these people can share their story and help believers relate correctly to ANYONE who is living in opposition to Gods ways with love, compassion, and truth
I'm blown away by them receiving more rejection from Christians than non-Christians. To me, to deny that people can repent, or have repented, is to deny Christ himself and his gift. Especially in a situation like this where there is so much trauma associated with their past.
@@kayremoob9579 There's a time and a place for based. In her case, what her Mom said was hurtful and alienating. I think there are two good places for being based: 1. To remind someone who you are on the side of, of their own beliefs and / or obligations that they are letting slip; 2. In a public debate forum, where you aren't really trying to convince the person you are talking to, but the crowd. There might be more, but in general, as soon as the person you are talking to perceives you to be their enemy, they stop listening and start fighting.
@@grantstratton2239 If society permitted fathers to fulfill their roles, her mother might not have made such a bold statement, as she would fear accountability from the father. It's surprising how these situations frequently arise when there is no father present. Perhaps increased government intervention could address the issues created by family court. Thoughts?
@kayremoob9579 Weird that you ask. I happen to be a family law attorney. In my state, the law regarding custody is gender-neutral, but moms are far and away getting more custody. There are a variety of human factors involved: 1. Men tend to commit more crimes of violence (though I admit some studies are coming out saying the numbers are closer to even when you factor in all illegal acts of aggression, including abuse, stalking, and the controlling / jealous apsects of the cycle of domestic violence). Probably, society could use a better understanding of how women express aggression differently then men and how to police it. 2. Personal experience says men are more likely to voluntarily give up parenting time. 3. Parental kidnapping statutes are seldom enforced or taken seriously. Especially if it's a woman witholding. 4. Men are seldom taken seriously in our society when cast in the role of a victim. Women almost always are. 5. Men tend to be punished more severely than women for the exact same wrongdoing (this one isn't just my own experience, the US dept. of Justice statistics affirm this). 6. Women have picked up that protective orders are easy to abuse to get an early litigation advantage, and it protects them from any subsequent parental kidnapping claims. For whatever reason, men just aren't doing the same. 7. Parental Alienation got taken out of the DSM as a diagnosis, and for a while, the unscrupulous were allowed to get away with arguing there was no such thing or the issue wasn't important.
@@grantstratton2239 1. Examine the differences by race, and you'll see a common factor: the absence of fathers. Why is this? In the 1970s, government policies encouraged women to leave their partners. 2. Yes, the mother is difficult to work with, society doesn't support fatherhood, and the system is unjust. It's shocking. 3. No. Police will say it's a civil matter and that the order is open to interpretation. 4 - 5. Correct. As a man, why even bother? You answered point 2. 6. They do, but the apposing party tells them to hide till court. 7. Shocking, but a judge will simply dismiss it regardless. It's all about money. The system profits from tearing American families apart, and no one will do anything about it, except throw up technicalities. That's fine, but don't be surprised as culture and the country deteriorate.
This is such a good conversation that reaches way beyond transgenderism and LGBT communities. It’s all because of Christ. As a traditional wife, I find myself relating to this couple. It’s amazing.
I am floored by this brave couple’s testimony. I found myself tearing up for what they went through as kids, especially for Lex, & how they entrusted God throughout. Thank you Lex & Nick for agreeing to be interviewed by Michael. I will pray for you all. And congratulations on hearing the good baby news!!
I’m a Christian. I love the testimony of this couple and I’m so thankful that I watched it today. This has totally changed the way I think about people who identify as gay or transgender. I was shocked to hear that both were Christians before God changed their desires/life. But after listening to their story, it’s obvious that this sin is no different than other sins and that Christians struggle it just like alcoholism and pornography. I have asked for God to forgive me for being judgmental and I will pray for all those Christians that are still struggling with this sin. Thank you so much for sharing.
You are right. It is no different than a couple doing the dirty before their marriage and before God has blessed their union. All sin must be nailed to the cross. And we must do our best, even though it is so hard to, to not let our flesh cloud the image of God, who is a jealous God, such that we would try to tell God how to run His kingdom. If I were in charge of letting people thru the gate then no one would ever get in!!!
@Momofukudoodoowindu that's a huge stretch; the sin of a couple having premarital sex is comparable to a someone chopping off their breasts? That's like saying someone who's stole a candy bar is comparable to someone who has committed murder.. You seem to be thinking too emotionally. Stop and think..
@@undoctrinati0n Yes. It is. The premise of both of these sins is to believe yourself as a little-g god. It breaks the commandments thou shalt have no other god before me ... which includes your own self. Whether it is you believing you are capable of being the opposite sex and taking hormones or whether it is you believe you are able to covet and live a perverted promiscuous life style. Both are rooted in the same philosophy.
This is a beautiful Holy Spirit led discussion. Thank you for sharing this dialogue with us. Thank you Nick and Liz Renick for choosing Jesus and pressing into God’s calling on your lives.
Just few minutes into watching this and despite not hearing their whole story. As they speak, something about them is shining like a calm and satisfied joy.
"I am the LORD, the God of all mankind. Is anything too difficult for me?" Jeremiah 32:27 Thank you two for letting your light shine. Beautiful interview!
This video came up randomly and I’m so glad I decided to watch it. SUCH a powerful testimony WOW. GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME. I’m a straight woman married to my wonderful husband and have a beautiful baby boy. But still, this story speaks to me. I love seeing what God has done for you guys and how he will continue to use you for his glory. It’s easy to see that God has big plans for you both. And your love for each other is so incredibly touching. God bless you and your family forever!
I used to be transgender, I really believed I was a girl, but I started thinking about my identity and I realized, Oh my gosh, I am depressed, and I started doing things that I loved and werent awful and unhealthy, and I started feeling normal again
25:00 the Christian’s that reject this couple are not real Christians and they need to stop it with their b.s. That is what turns people off of Christianity. We should not be rejecting anybody who has genuinely changed their lifestyle or is trying to find God. It makes me so angry.
My advice for people is to go to the Bible first to confirm what (so called) christians tell you. The Bible tells us what a "proper" christian should and shouldn't act like and if they don't live up to that (note, not everyone is perfect) then it is not wrong to put some question marks to if what they are saying is actually Biblical.
The depth of her love for her husband is so moving. They have a beautiful testimony! It's so wonderful to hear about how Jesus met them where they were, they humbled themselves and trusted Jesus fully and He walked with them.
When I heard they were able to have a child it made me so happy. All children are a blessing. My son changed my life. Children make life simple when most things are overly complicated.
If you aren't already a member, please seek your local Encourage chapter. We pray together, and that support is so valued. I will add your Mom to my prayer list. Please also pray for my daughter. Saint Charles Lwanga, please intercede for our loved ones.
Prayers to you sweet girl. I can't imagine how on the other end you have to face this. It's one thing for a parent to be praying for their child in this crazy world, but a child having to pray for their parents that has gone astray can not only hurt your heart but having that guiding influence is not there for you. It literally forces you to to turn to God in EVERYTHING. Prayers for you dear Savannah. Btw my daughter is Savanna too, but goes by her middle name now. So, I will keep you and your parents in my prayers.
I was gaslit into thinking i was a woman.. Countless times i said " im not a woman " but i was told " yes you are " all because i had a feminin appearence.. It got so bad.. after 6 months i finally broke free 1 week onto hormones because my brain was screaming at me to not do it.. I dodged the largest missile and got out early.. I PRAY for those who are still stuck in that situation
This type of relationship needs to be normalized in Christian circles. No matter how you may have walked before, you can always change direction and walk with Christ!
Apparently the pope has never really Comprehended*Read the Holy Scriptures!!! It's PLAINLY stated that being intimate with the same sex is an Abomination!! @@bastilleboo8541
A couple months ago I ended a relationship with a woman (I’m a woman too) that I really love, what was worse is that there were no issues in our relationship, but I felt a God telling me that they needed to. it’s been a hard transition but I am trying to listen to what he has to say putting my trust being God for my life. I don’t feel attraction to men and I have prayed for that, so we’ll see how that goes. Their testimony was very moving and reaffirming thank God both of your lives and thank you for your obedience.
How wonderful of you to let go of your own desires to follow the Father! God designed marriage for our benefit; if that's something you desire, continue to pray for it while understanding that His will is vastly superior to your own. I hope He plans to send you a godly man you can love and build a life with. Sometimes attraction comes after love, that can be true for any couple. I honestly didn't find my husband handsome until after I fell for him, but now I love seeing his face when he gets home from work ☺
It's not even bout your desires, it's bout building a relationship with Jesus and eventually you will want to align your life with him. So that's why we need to trust him , he will take care of the rest. Seek first the kingdom of the Lord❤️❤️❤️
There are others who went through the same thing! Off the top of my head there’s Jackie Hill Perry, Rosario Butterfield, Becket Cook, Christopher Yuan. Check them out.
I have a friend who, after ending a relationship was still attracted to women yet she met a wonderful man and thy got married- out of obedience to Christ. After 7 years with this man, one day the attraction for women was just gone. She was so shocked. Gos took away the desire for women and loved her husband and God gave her three amazing children with him.
@user-eg9sx3oo9u DW speaks Christian faith out publicly more than any other conservative outlet, including more than Candace. Saying words is cheap - understanding the faith and living it out wisely and authentically is what's needed.
Hi Ben. Could you perhaps try and organize an event where Michael speaks with post apartheid south African citizens and compare the discrepancies between them and American politics. I am a South African citizen and there is far more racial tensions than America has yet there is some unity against the left doctrine except at universities.
Thanks for watching! If you want to hear more about Lex and Nick's testimony you can follow them @revivetravelingministry
Michael thank you for this interview. I'm grateful for you and your work as a brother papist. I am a former protestant and convert of almost twenty years. Now l’m a ten year old priest that really appreciates the good work you do in the culture war. I liked your book Speechless as it set the stage for me to understand why we are where we are. I used to say the TLM and smoke cigars so we have a fair amount in common. Thank you.

As a protestant christian..I'm just so glad God has restored you and is using you for his glory. May he bless and lead you always. x
I was trans and bi for 24yrs and Jesus Christ set me free as soon as I fully believed in Him! He can change anybody!😊

Amen! 🙏🏻
So happy for you, that's incredible 🙂. Thanks be to God ❤
I was r@ped as a child by an older sibling and also identified as queer and trans, last year I opened my heart to not only God but to myself, my true self, the wounded scared little girl that I tried to hide away for years and I found my beautiful feminine self again ❤️ I have never been happier truly!
May you find healing in Jesus Christ. I would urge you to find a Bible teaching church. (One that doesn't have any rainbow flags out front!)
Praise God for your life ! I am happy you came back home and I hope you will be happy, safe and thriving. May God bless you, you are so loved !
God bless you sister! Through the grace of god and through your own resilience, I’m so happy that you found Jesus and that you’re finding your feminine self once again. I’m truly so sorry that you had to go through that trauma to find yourself, but know that you’ve just secured a place in the kingdom of heaven where all of your traumas and of your ailments will be washed away and you will be born again. We love you! ❤
God bless You beautiful daughter of Our Lord.
May God bless you and keep!!

It took me 13 years to start to detransition. Just let him know he is loved. When told I was living wrong, it only made me dig my heels in more. I had to see a sliver of my experience used in an obvious wrong way for me to wake up. Seeing that children were being targeted and folks were taking away others constitutional free speech rights with pronouns, it made me halt in my tracks and look at myself.
"I'm so wildly attracted to my wife that I don't feel that there is any room for any other desire. I'm so crazy about you-" The Lord bless their marraige
This is what people don’t understand about true love & true desire, the kind that remains for life.
That's the kind of love we must have for Christ.
When I heard that, I immediately thought of myself and my relationship to my wife. That's gold right there. God Bless them 🙏
I'm a straight married women and I am just in awe of how much these people love each other and Jesus. My husband may feel about me the way this man does toward his wife but omg! To hear it as this guy says it made me start balling. So completely beautiful.
I identified at a trans man for 10 years. At age 22 I detransitioned. Thank you Jesus.
Your brain needed to develop that's why they want to get children before they turn 25

These two are severely needed to guide this new generation out of the demonic forces that are so strong today.
I couldn’t agree with you more. These two can make great movements through the glory of god and their own experiences. This generation of kids are being manipulated by institutions and by media into believing that they’re LGBT when in reality, many of them are not!
I was looking for a comment like this :)
Transsexuals can help as well & we All should be tog for this going on w children. I've helped 3 teens so far decide to cancel their 1st appts for hrt. The difference is we can give the difficult life experiences.

I can't stand that people tell boys that they're gay when they are into the arts

Many are. That's the issue at Disney, it's a club
A person should also not be so weak minded to be affected to the point they change their entire sexual preference over a negative comment said from a person. That to me is even more insane.
I am straight married adult woman. But I was molested many times as a child and it really messed me up. Especially when I was molested by an adult woman at the age of 11. Probably a decade after that I struggled with attraction to the same sex and even things that are so evil I can only talk to God about it. All I can say is praise the Lord for the power of the blood.God, in his love and mercy towards me, removed even the stain of sin. I can’t even remember the pornography I witnessed or the gross things I took part in. He liberated me from all of it. And I will praise His name for all of eternity.❤❤❤❤❤
❤❤❤😢 god has great works for u. He only puts the strongest through trials like that.
I’m so sorry those things happened to you. I’m also so glad God held on to you and you held on to Him so that you can live life the way He intends for us to live. You must be a strong woman to face the challenges you have but still be steadfast in what you know is right and wrong. I know it hasn’t been easy. Prayers for you.

I love how Nick looks at Lex and retells their story talking to her and affirming her. It's very sweet. I pray their Christian marriage lasts for the rest of their lives.
It's cute how they are holding hands the whole time too.
Right!!

Purity, genuine authenticity and care for one another, I see one, not two, they are one in spirit, thanks be to God, Jesus, the Homy Trinity, redemption, forgiveness, salvation, the lamb’s perfect blood
Always/ Constantly praying to God specially the Rosary is what will make your marriage beautiful and last forever.
This is one of the only interviews where childhood trauma and abuse aren’t just glossed over when they’re brought up. Bravo, Michael, for going there. This dirty secret needs to be exposed more in a loving way. These families need help.
They need Jesus
@@natashakcarson They have Jesus.
I think she meant the parents
@@kfdake If you can read, I'm replying to this comment, not the video.
Most people who end up homosexual/lesbian/trans had sexual abuse in their past. This used to be generally accepted. Now it's taboo to say that.
As a Christian, it’s unacceptable that other Christians have shown you so much rejection. It’s not Christ-like and I’m so sorry that is your experience.
Absolutely agree as another Christian!
❤
I think a lot of fellow Christians want us to be celibate forever. I say this as a man who is bisexual. There's this belief that men like me cannot be good husbands to women. Even when we don't act on our same sex desires, we are still not accepted as potential husbands-despite the fact that we bisexual men are still attracted to women.
@@Alexander44665 That's really terrible I'm sorry. I actually know someone ( in my tiny town) who is bi and he got married to a woman. They have children together and he is a good person/ partner. I don't think it's bi men can't be good husbands. I think it's no different than someone with only an attraction to women or men not cheating or stepping out of the relationship. I mean everyone has attractions to ppl they are not with they just choose to not act on it. I see no difference with a bi man ( he can choose to not step out and be fulfilled by his partner). I think women tend to avoid dating bi men because they are already nervous about the possibility of cheating ( just with women) , and if he likes men too that opens up a bunch more options for cheating. 2nd that may make the woman think she can't fully fulfill the guy if he has an attraction to men ( her not being enough). 3 Rd she may not be able to move past the thought of him with a man. I think his chances for a relationship are higher if he has the attraction to men, but hasn't acted on it though. I do think there are women out here who would accept it as I've seen it happen ( in my small world). I hope you are able to find the right person for you! I don't believe in same sex relations of course, but that does not mean I think you shouldn't find love and happiness. It's really sad to see so many people who say they are Christian and they love Jesus, but find it ok to judge other people. I leave all of that up to our creator and to the person. If you ask Jesus to bring you your life partner, and you are meant to have one then he will. Some of us are called to be single ( but it's a smaller portion) and the rest do have a perfect match out there. 🙂
HEY! There is not such a thing to be Christian and be mean. There is such a thing as call themselves that. When you truly knows God, you don’t have any need to be mean. PERIOD. Please know the difference.
As a non-denominational Christian, I love this story! I have no idea why other Christians would be anything but thrilled for this transformed couple. I know my church would love to hear their story and would welcome them in with open arms!
Absolutely!
I agree! My church would love to hear their story and have them as a guest. These two can really help so many in our world today. Satin has his claws in humanity more than ever before it seems. We’re living in an upside down world with most of us feeling confused, brainwashed, lied to and questioning everything on all sides. Discernment is one of the 9 gifts God gives us when we accept Jesus. People just need to let Him in, give Him a chance to change their life and show the truth.
100%
Same. ❤️
I’m a Presbyterian and I was surprised at that part. Sounds like people misunderstood their story and thought that Lex was MtF trans instead of FtM back to F.
I’m a Christian. I am not gay or transgender. God used this to speak to me about my own stuff. He used this interview to show me His power and glory. Blown away. Thank you for sharing your story. Know it speaks to everyone, not just a certain group.
Same here. I've gained some insight on how to love the lgbt community better, and have hope for them.
I watched this, and was in my car and prayed again to god & Holy Spirit to solve a dispute with my siblings that’s been there since our mother died 4.5 years (land+Irish go figure!) Ago. No lies, I arrived home and while I was closing my gate to my home my brother came upon me. At the end of the conversation, I refused to be reactive, I had no fear stayed calm, he withdrew his objections. This was a grace from God and I’m overwhelmed. Letting go to god and he works miracles 🙏✝️
Amen to this. Ive never been LGBTQ, but this testimony encouraged me so much in my own struggles. Glory to God!

I love the way they refer to each other as "my husband" and "my wife." Just beautiful! The LORD bless them and keep them.
I was bi, I was a feminist, I was atheist, I was suffering and I was suicidal since childhood. God set me free. Now all I want to want is Him. Only He can do that. I hope this couple helps a lot of people leave homosexuality and leave the trans cult, and come to Christ.
They didn't "leave" homosexuality because they were never gay to begin with.
Thank you Jesus
None of us are innocent. We have all sinned.. and will not be FREE of sin! "Judge not, lest you be judged"

Michael has this tendency to go into debates and conversations where you'd expect someone like him (religious, right) to be unrelenting and overtly superior. Never, ever has he stooped to that level. He holds his beliefs while still respecting every individual he comes across. Thank you so much for being the one to do these kinds of interviews. ❤
This is such a true statement. It is why I love watching him because he is a model and example of how Christians ought to act in this world
Because when you are truly grounded in whatever your faith is, there's no defending it. No need to TRY to get anyone to believe, it just is.
He's a based Catholic
@@ashmccash5241”no need to try to get anyone to believe”

Any Christian that doesn’t believe God can use this beautiful couple doesn’t understand the gospel. Their testimony is powerful and shows God’s love, mercy and grace in such a beautiful way.
I love what you wrote. Their testimony is strengthening my own faith.
I think Christians who reject them may only want "clean" Christianity and may be afraid of the powerful transformation God intends in all of us. Otherwise, I don't know why a fellow believer would not rejoice with them.
I just wish God would help all the starving and dying children! But nah let's make sure people aren't gay or trans! What a mysterious lovely figure you believe in
@@studenheim8388 I understand why you feel this way, but it boils down to free will. God did not force these people to de transition and surrender to him. They did it freely. as much as it sucks sometimes God won’t just throw food in somebody’s lap because that would take away the poor choices that somebody else made ultimately getting rid of free will. He is a gentlemen and gently whispers what we need to do it’s just too many of us don’t listen such as the greedy billionaires and politicians harming the people

We must always share Truth - 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 of perversion, and completely healed and restored every failing organ. Glory to God!
Powerful testimony

Sonnow you are merried with a woman with Kids and no samesex attraction?
I identified as a butch lesbian since the age of 10. I continued that life for over 40 years. I was invited a go to a Church by a friend. I said these words" Lord Jesus come into my heart, I repent of my sins, I make you my Lord and Savior." It took a few years for me to totally stop identifying as gay but in my heart I knew it almost immediately after saying those words. I didn't have to do a thing. Jesus started cleaning me from the inside out very gently. Not only did he change my desire for another woman, he made me the woman I was meant to be. No I'm not with a man. I have no desire to be with anyone "as a couple". All sexual desire is gone too. I can now look at a man or woman and admire their beauty without any lust or attraction whatsoever. I wake with Jesus, I walk throughout the whole day in the company of Jesus and when I lay my head in my pillow JESUS is right there watching over me all night! ,,To God be the Glory!!!
Praise God!!
God bless!
❤❤❤
Amazing
@@markandmargie7331 , thank you. What's amazing too is that I'm still here. My story would fill a river with tears but those tears were for Gods eyes only. He wiped my tears embraced me and saved my life when I was finally able to scream out " Make me or take because I cannot live like this anymore". I surrendered and he took over. I am completely and only his... Thank You Jesus🙏💕
Her mom told her she was a freak because she was raped. No, she was a "freak" because her mother didn't love and accept her. Her husband healed her with love and acceptance and God put them together so they could heal each other.
The mom is a freak
God healed her
God loves her mother too. He wants her to be redeemed. We can’t be hating on either persons. Pray for her mother. You don’t know what she has been through. What if you found out that she was abused as a child? It could be a generational curse. Just love and pray.
I understood this differently. The way I understood it is: "that explains why you've become a freak (= lesbian/trans)". Not much better but maybe slightly...
No doubt in my mind that having a mother like that fed into her thinking she was trans.
I was a lesbian with mild gender dysphoria when I was saved on the 2nd September 1992. I later had a psychotic breakdown and was told I was demon possessed. God healed me from schizophrenia, depression and a severe obsessive neurosis and from several addictions.
@@virginiaweir-hj1rt , I am so happy for you. Shine bright for God 🙏
Love to you my dear. ❤
So Were you actually possessed? Did you have exorcism? Or how did you heal? I’m curious because my friend’s sister was introduced to “Santeria” some demonic rituals and then she tried to get closer to Jesus but something weird happened to her. She lost her rationality, she cut her hair herself like a crazy person, threw herself down the stairs, and supposedly she might have schizophrenia. I’m praying for her, I never hang out with her but as a Catholic we also believe in possession. My friend, is not a Cristian but I’ve been talking to her about my Catholic faith and told her that I’m going to try to help her too, so we can figure out if is really schizophrenia or possession. And now I just see this message
God Bless your testimony!
@@mariavonguadalupe2131 , AMÉN!
Jesus can save anyone!!! Jesus is THE WAY
Hope is never lost!
Jesus will save anyone. He will save you WHILE YOU ARE A SINNER. You don't have to reform your life to be saved.
Amen!
@@foechicken8023 I am Catholic and am Trans-fem and Lesbian. The only thing i need to worry about is my Faith in God. Not other people. My sins are my own and my Gender ID and who i love is not a sin. All i need to remember is the to greatest Commandments Mark 12:28-31. Anyone that says i am wrong Re-read Matthew 7:1-4 and be concerned without your own sins.
Quran 5: 72: Those who say, “God is the Messiah, son of Mary,” have certainly fallen into disbelief. The Messiah ˹himself˺ said, “O Children of Israel! Worship God-my Lord and your Lord.” Whoever associates others with God ˹in worship˺ will surely be forbidden Paradise by God. Their home will be the Fire. And the wrongdoers will have no helpers.
I’m a straight, 45 year-old mom and I think this is one of the most beautiful love stories I’ve ever heard! It made me weep and praise Jesus for the transformative power of the Holy Spirit in their lives! I pray God blesses them with many more children and years of happiness!
I felt the save way!!!
I came out as a lesbian and met a “trans girl” who is now my husband of five and a half years. We have four kids and became Catholic together
Your story is giving me such hope!
The fact that this is so common tells you something. A real man & real woman who call themselves all kinds of things, end up together somehow and realize they actually do love having heterosexual sex & being in a loving, normal relationship. 😂😂
Does your husband still identify as a woman? Sorry, to pry because my daughter started dating a trans woman and now has come out as bisexual to explain why she is dating a man who is in the process of transitioning. He seems like a nice, but very troubled boy and unfortunately introduced my daughter to a group that has led her away from us.
So you're not gay?
@@flowerpuff944 did you watch the part of the interview where Lex explained her experience with your question?
You have changed my views of lgbt people as well as people with tatoo and piercings. Every time i see an lgbt person, i will remember you both and try to be more compassionate. Thank you for your witness, to Him be glory forever and ever
I know what you mean. I see trans and gay people with compassion, praying for them to give themselves to the Lord so He can heal them and change their hearts because the Lord loves them.
I was a trans teenager before becoming an Orthodox Christian. Glory to God!
Glory to God

I was Sexually abused at 5 yrs old. My parents never talked to me about the sexual abuse. If is so hurtful when they ignore your hurts. But Jesus healed me now. When your parents ignore you God becomes your mother and father.
Amen ❤
I have your sqme story of childhood. Its so hard to try and understand how my mother just acted like nothing happened to me (more times than can be counted) then when i became an adult and was trying to heal myself, before I knew Jesus, i confronted my mother and her and her bf physically attached me in front of my 3 year old. I guess she just couldnt admit to it.
Psalm 27:10 when my father and mother forsake me, then The LORD will take me up. 🎉 God bless you and heal you! 🙏 praise Jesus 👏 🙌
Blessed be The Lord.
Yes. He’s a father and a friend. If I can only impart one thing to my own children I hope they always know they are never alone.
I identified as pansexual for a long time. I grew up Lutheran and went to a Lutheran school k-8. When I was realizing that I was experiencing same sex attraction I prayed for it to go away from 6-8th grade. It didn't go away. I leaned into it for years leaving the faith. Through God's grace He led me back to Him. I became Catholic. I didn't focus on being gay or not being gay. I eventually realized I didn't struggle with it anymore. I'm now happily married to a Catholic man with two kids.
Blessed the Lord. Adolescence can be a confusing time in many ways. Thank God Our Lord took You out of that confusion. Loving God is loving what's right and being convicted on it.
praise God!
Laus Deo!!
My son is gay for the last 40 years. I’ve never turned my back on him, but he’s turned his back on me and his sisters. He doesn’t speak to us. He has nothing to do with us, but we’ve tried, but he doesn’t accept us. I pray for him that he wakes up one morning, and sees that his life is not the right one
Same. My situation is with my husband’s brother. He is gay & extremely politically radical. It’s difficult to be in the same room with him because he will inevitably start the gay rhetoric
He might feel that you've rejected him, or you will reject him, so he doesn't want to subject himself to that. It would destroy his psyche. Have you tried reaching out to him and telling him you'll support him as your son? You'll always be there for him? You'll try to understand him and where he's at? So many people crave understanding and compassion. Leave the judgment to Jesus.
@@rosalee546 he’s probably ashamed?
The homosexual "culture" is one of gratification above all else. It's a destructively powerful and simple mechanism to ensnare.
As someone on the other side of it myself. Love your son and don't judge him for his sins. That doesn't mean you have to approve of it either, of course.
Praying for your son and for your family, God will hear us 🥰
As a woman who identified as Christian lesbian for over 12 years I absolutely agree 100% with what these 2 are saying! I am happily married to an incredible man with 2 children now but the struggle at that time was so very real! God changed my heart, my desires and my mind and I am so incredibly in love with my husband but back then I was a hurting and struggling young woman. Lexa also touched on something that I noticed a lot in the gay community, the vast majority of people lost their innocence at startlingly young ages in very nonconsensual ways.
OUTSTANDING.
I was "played" with, by another child who had obviously lost his own innocence. I thank God I was not messed with by an older person because I was always attracted to men ( I am a XX woman), but my sexuality was awoken at a horribly young age, and that is so damaging, because it ruined my childhood, my innocence was exchanged for being self aware in ways that should have not blossomed until puberty.
That's the secret the enemy wants suppressed, that deviant sexual identities almost always spring from childhood when perversion is experienced, either via sexual abuse or visual or sensual stimulation of a child. Another door the enemy uses to situate sexually deviant behaviour in a child is spiritually if the parents or home have been defiled.
Nobody is born gay/trans.
God bless you ma'am
Please can you tell me how you broke free from that lifestyle as my daughter is very confused and being isolated and manipulated by those who don't have her best interests at heart. Any advice? Anything I can do?
Doctors willingly give hormones to teens, but a menopausal woman has to suffer.
So true!
That is SO true!!!! I just thought of that! They said I had to have my perfectly normal uterus removed before they would give me hormones to get me through menopause. Wow😢(family history of uterine cancer) even though cancer is a metabolic disease MOSTLY. NOT GENETIC! The doctors are lying to us, people!
For sure.
Lion Diet
Wait, so when I get menopause the doctors won’t give me hormones?!?! 😮😮😮
“God, this guy is just widely attractive”, “I’m just so in love with my wife etc”, “I’m just so crazy about you”. Those two are so cute, I can’t stop smiling when they talk about each other
They are a cute couple. I loved the way Nick would turn to Lex and say "You....", including her in the conversation instead of talking to Michael about her. So sweet!
I love seeing people madly in love with their spouses. It warms my heart so much
They’re literally a dream. I want this so bad
The way they look/hold one another, it's so sweet 🥺
I think it makes one realize that they do adore each other. They are a very attractive couple that compliment each other.
100% lol!
Stories like this give me hope. I’ve been praying for my son to be freed from the demonic stronghold and lies of transgenderism. 🙏🏼💔
KEEP PRAYING! Don't stop, God is hearing you ❤
You and your son are in my family's prayers. May God bless your family, keep them safe and secure.
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I’m in this spiritual battle with my sister right now. She’s so lost. I pray she awakens like these lovely people have before she takes it too far.
Your rejection is not from the Christian's, it's from the religious church people. A true Christian will embrace you as a child of God. Keep being such a great representation of Christ's love.
Amen and why wouldn't they accept them. God has forgiven them for their sins. I don't understand how people can be so cold hearted.
I think you're right that this can happen with religious people. But not always, I think that's a generalisation. For a lot of Christians having your child say they are gay or trans is very difficult to process. Sometimes, we act in haste, react badly. Largely as we are dealing with our own sins. God has to pull us up, correct us and show us the truth.
We all need prayer and guidance. The closer we walk with Him the less likely this would happen, or we will hear from Him more swiftly.
parents don't understand that emotional abuse is STILL abuse
What about a kid emotionally abusing they's parent.
What about a mom who's abusing the father that can't be around to put a stop to all this?
Kids also take minor correction and control and morph and internalize what ACTUALLY happened and make it much bigger than it was. It’s fact. Many times these “traumas” are bullshit that morphed in the mind of the person who held onto it
@@TheBajaminit’s because those things as a parent isn’t significant, is huge for a kid, they take things too the heart and it’s your job as a parent too watch what you say and do and be a good fucken parent no excuse. But there are things that some kids may never get over until there adults I’m 24 and still struggle too not hate my mom. She was never there for us tweaking on meth and lost us too our dad he’s the best. But she went off and jus had another kid and forgot about us. She comes around sometimes and I genuinely despise her
My heart literally broke in tears, when she talked about her abuse at 7yrs and 5yrs. She told her mom & she said "thats why you are a freak?"😢 so sad. Girl you are free now. Speaking out about your abuse, sets you free.
@LuckyStar-shines its truly amazing, it gives me such great hope hearing that her mom repented later in life, shortly before she died. God is so good he can rescue anyone. Thank you Jesus
@@kcdw3495 you are right. God be praised that the ending was reconciliation btw daughter and mother.
I literally felt that in my chest and tears in my eyes at that point. I became more obersevant as I learned about Judaisim and one major focus is child education, taking a parenting class for a year that is dual for yourself and your future child. A lot of people as single men or women need to take such a class BEFORE dating.
Yes, what a strong person to have gone through that and all the confusion and in the end she found herself!
This is the best thing I like about Knowles, he's genuinely interested in the people he's interviewing, hearing their story and setting aside his politics.
Michael Knowles has to be one of the best conversationalists I have seen. He is so compassionate without setting aside logic and he holds to truth without denigrating the other party. This was one of the best interviews I have ever seen and their story is beautiful and needs to be heard. Well done. What a brave young couple.
The way her husband looks at her while she’s giving her testimony like he wants to hurt everything that hurt her is just so precious ❤can’t wait to meet the one God has for me
He's a husband, alright. Man... what a story...
@@CleverGirlAAH what do you mean by that?
At around 4:50 is a seemingly small yet precious exchange. Nick is speaking and Lex interrupts. She realizes she cut him off and apologises for interrupting. He acknowledges her apology and let's her speak.
This must be one of the most powerful and beautiful episodes of the channel.. I'm just a straight male christian crying about the transforming power of God on display here.
Exactly!!
Yeah. This episode has stirred something in me. This couples dedication to Christ is palpable!!
What kind of mother would say that. No wonder she was confused.
This being just a clip I can't really say? The part about her aborting her if she had known is inexcusable! I'd be willing to bet though that her Mom was an alcoholic. It mentioned her pouring a glass of wine, something tells me it wasn't her first
@@guruofdoodooyes i believe her mother was an alcoholic.
Sad example of the decline of our societies.
@@kfdake I agree, most women that are alcoholics are usually more on the cruel side, major anger issues just looking for an excuse to drink.
An immigrant mother. She is mortified as she doesn’t understand how this society has done this to her loving daughter
God set me free from same sex attraction in 2017 🩷 I met my husband shortly after and we’ve been together for 7 years 🥹 God showed me I was pretending to be lesbian for male attention and it stemmed from my childhood trauma with my father. God is so good. His design is the best for us.
Amen! So good to see you here Natalia ❤
How do you pretend to be a lesbian?
I was a 13 year opiate addict when i really surrendered my life to Christ. During the sanctification process i grew to hate the addiction. I read my Bible daily,prayed and weeped to the Lord for months ,the closer I got to Him the more my faith grew and the more i wanted Him instead of the drug that controlled me. Sanctification is different for everyone some people do complete changes overnight,some take time ,but if you have sincerely surrendered to Jesus He will make you a brand new creation! He did it for me! No rehab,no medical help,no therapy ,only Jesus! Hes more than enough!
Praise God🙌🤍 Your testimony has really encouraged me. God bless you and keep you 🙏
Hallelujah
To God be the only glory! Thank you for sharing your beautiful story!

Glory to God! Praise the Lord ❤

I have a ton of respect for these two. They were able to admit together that their lifestyle was wrong and they both made a 180 and changed together. Remaining together through it all. That takes a lot of humility which is extremely scarce today.
Can I just point out the beauty that Lex was being mentored even while she was still confused about her sexuality. That is so beautiful that that Pastor took his time to disciple her and let God reveal his true purpose and plan for her. I think we need more of those leaders
I LOVE the way he talks to her throughout the conversation.... confirming his love and desire and attraction for her and her only. He dotes on her! So pure, these two! 🤗
It's like Michael isn't even in the room. They just focused on each other with so much love. With each response, they confirm each other's experiences with love and support.
Love it. Wonderful man.
@erinsolis AND ALSO HER TO HIM‼️
The holding hands too is super cute!
Absolutely adorable. Good on these two
OH MY LORD, that's crazy. I was in musical theatre and also introduced to homosexuality through a love for acting and music. I was homosexual in highschool in a relationship with another man for a year, eventually believed I was born in the wrong body. Thank God that he delivered me out from those demonic voices speaking upon me and compelling me to evil.
This is the reason I stopped teaching drama at school. When I didn’t have enough males to fill a male role, I felt very uncomfortable asking girls to dress up and act as a male (and vice versa). I realized the slippery slope of “identifying as…something that they were not as created as.” Even one of the skits we did had a student act out as a dog. All of the skits were simple and well received with Christian themes (at a Christian school). But seeing documentaries where our culture is so confused, I felt it violated my conscious to teach drama because I didn’t want to add to the confusion.
@@dubosesjoy yah it's extremely blurry what kind of things can lead us into strongholds. Kids are often just too young to always be expected to segregate the lines between them, even teenagers and adults can be tricked into things. I never had an experience of acting like something I wasn't persé like a dog or a woman, but the first serious instructor I had was an effeminate man, which by itself is okay. He was married to a woman with kids of his own (at least I think, he was very private of his personal life because he didn't want us finding some of his previous work), but it became a common theme in our classes after the one year he served us that great actors act a bit gay.
Lucifer was the angel of music and there is a theory that "acting" is a sort of divination.
I used to date woman as a woman myself but God almighty redeemed me. Glory to jesus Christ..
❤ amen
Amen. Thank God for the deliverance.
What a beautiful story of triumph over childhood trauma. Thank you for being so brave to share. 🙏🏻
Wow!! This is the EXACT story I’ve been waiting for!! I am a 36years old man but I have feelings for man and I always feel so sad and angry with myself. I am a Christian and I know that sooner or later, my Lord and Saviour JESUS CHRIST will change me.
Thank you both for your testimony. 🙏🏻
Praying for you 🤍
You can live a beautiful chast life serving Our Lord and humanity specially the most vulnerable Even in your life your nephews, nieves, eldery parents, grandparents.
This time is for you to really build your relationship with Christ... and HE will fulfill the void until (if) He sees fit to bring you to a partnership with a spouse. Prayers! ♡
Friend, Jesus loves you even if you are gay. I hope you find peace with yourself either way.
i love your faith 🙏🏾, remember when you’re asking the lord to change you , he does not focus on that one part of you, but all of you , to the person he sees the potential in you to become
My heart just broke for her. No child should ever ever hear that from a parent.💔😢
This gave me a lot of hope. My sister has identified herself as a lesbian for years and is now dating a man who pretends to be a woman. I really hope for a similar outcome.
If they have sex they are neither gay neither trans but play roles
Well she's certainly not gay then. And she's in a straight relationship.

What a beautiful couple. You can see how much love they have for each other by how respectful and engaged they are with each other. God bless them.
You can sit with me at church! I'm so so sorry that you have experienced rejection in the Christian community. That's not a truly Christian community! I'm so so excited to see you two. What a HUGE mission field you have ahead of you.
My only issue with the "hate" they say they're receiving is that it seems to be reserved "online." I would think any healthy bible believing church would embrace this couple. I know I would. Lord knows I was broken without him, I'd be in jail, addicted, or lowlife scum without becoming a new creation in Christ. I just know that. Why wouldn't I accept friendship with these new believers rescued by the Lord?
@@sirsaint88they mentioned about it being mostly online, or people still thinking she was an actual man at first, or just confused people that knew them in their "former" relationship.

And by the way, y'all can set with me at Church ANYTIME! AMEN! I just can't get over this interview. I really needed to hear this. THANK YOU LORD for guiding me to this interview. And one last thing.....this man is SO IN LOVE with his wife! GOD CAN DO ANYTHING! WHAT A MIGHTY GOD THAT WE SERVE! Pastor J.W. Brand (the eunuch preacher).
As a protestant Christian, this is a beautiful story of redemption. I can't imagine a Christian being against them. It's so incredibly outrageous, and unbiblical that churches turned you away! Wow!
I would argue those churches are living far more "carnal" lives than the folks they judge. It's a very worldly thing to turn folks away as though sin is contagious.. like they have leprosy. Christ embraced the lepers.
I love that Nick says, "I knew that I NEEDED a family," not that he just WANTED a family. Something I think our world is losing is the NEED we all have to be connected through family ties.
And that is worrisome in my opinion....
Yes! The breakdown of the family had a huge impact on society and kids losing their "identity"
Actually people try but due to so much cheating the younger generation doesn’t want family they prefer to be alone
"For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named" (Ephesian 3:14-15).
Are these 2 not the most likable couple ever? So real, so genuine and so obviously in love. They deserve so much happiness!
A guy I went to high school with was the biggest musical theater kid you’ve ever seen, and everyone “just knew” that he was gay, but now he’s married with a family and he’s an awesome husband from what I can see.
All the young kids, 6, 8, 12 years old, the other kids in the neiborghood said, and some bullying, they were gay, they were gays as adults.
Well. A Spanish singer, very very famous--not Julio Iglesias--Raphael, had the gay reputation, I mean his gestures and all. And there was a socialite aristocrat who had a rumored fame for being a Lesbian. They met, married, are still together after having children, I think 3, and around 40 years married.
He was probably secure in himself and didn’t conform to the nonsense many do :)
It is insane how Satan confuses people about their identity but this story is beautiful because it shows how God will turn everything that bad into good. Amazing testimony of grace
Accountability and not blame fictional characters.
Im not confused

My son is in a "gay marriage ".I was so desperate for his soul today that I considered going no contact so he knows the seriousness of his actions. Because of this episode, I will continue to love and pray for them while including them.
praise the Lord! Although we don’t agree with their actions we can still love them and tell them the good news
Praise God!
You are deranged and incredibly cruel. Please read scientific studies which have proved that being gay is biological, it's not a choice. Your son would be much better off if you did go no contact because you can't accept him for how he was born. You are the tragedy here, not him.
Oof that's really messed up. Shunning your son for his sexuality is really messed up. He might end up doing that with you if don't accept his autonomy. Look I get that you think you'll make him change to save his soul by doing that, but Jesus didn't "go no contact" with Mary Magdaline or the leprous. He embraced them and not shun them. That's so messed up. As a son I'll tell you, if my mom or dad did that. There would be no going back as I would see it as overly cruel and manipulative. I'm telling you this to help you. Put your religious beliefs aside, keep it to yourself and just love and embrace your son and whoever he decides to be with, be there for him. It's not like he killed a person or raped somebody. Don't shun him. Learn more about sexuality and leave it out of your personal relationship with your son. If he decides to be an atheist or convert to another religion; would you then shun him too? Trust me keep your religious beliefs to yourself. Otherwise, you're not going to have a son in your life anymore either because you'll drive him away or he'll cut you off if he continues the marriage and adopts kids. He's not going to want to have an antagonist in his life telling him his family is a sin. Think about it. I know you think it's out of love but that's not how it'll come off. trust me.
How dare you say the Mother has to keep her religious beliefes to herself? Obviously you do not know the scriptures, and surely are religiousphobic.
For what it matters, Jesus did NOT EMBRACE MARY MAGDALENE. He Said to her " go and sin no more"... And because She did what He Said, they were friends.... Don't get it twisted, if you think sin is a nothing, meditate on the fact that the Second Person of the Holy Trinity encarnated into a man and came to die a HORRIBLE death on the cross to save your bottom from hell, and here you are, spitting on His face! He don't accept no gay marriage at ALL.
He WAS THE DESIGNER OF MARRIAGE AND WHAT HE SAID WAS" A MAN SHALL LEAVE HIS FAMILY AND MARRY A WOMAN".
Sure the Mother should not Shun her Son, however, and as harsh as this can sound, BUT, its bíblical, God MUST come in first Over your family, even your Son.
Note: straight people get attracted all the time too, we are people too with all kind of emotions, but most of US don't Walk arround sleeping with other people, and if you do, you REPENT! we too make sacrifices, Control our desires and etc, that's the way you go to Heaven, yep, no ONE has it easy!

Age 30 I thrashed with my sin and found myself finally understanding what it actually means to be a sinner. And that that was the start of my deeper understanding of myself and my relationship with God.
I have wanted to marry both a man and a woman since I was 5 years old. I first had this desire when watching the scene in Dirty Dancing where Baby dances between Patrick Swayze and his dance partner. I carried that throughout life, into my relationships, and always battled with the feeling that my monogamous heterosexual relationships were incomplete. I realize now that the desire emerged when my parents went through an extremely volatile divorce and I was taken away from my father. Imagining myself held between a man and a woman gave me comfort and stemmed from my innocent longing to see my family reunify.
Childhood trauma holds so much weight in distorted intimate partnerships. I appreciate that this woman’s experiences were highlighted as the source of her confusion.
That's deep. That took serious self awareness to identify.
Wow! This hit home for me. Thank you for sharing and im proud of you for becoming this self aware❤
Wow. It's crazy how childhood trauma and our environment affects our desires
"Dirty Dancing" had an age limit for a reason. You weren't protected the way you should have. Many of us weren't.
Y’all are amazing, thank you for your kind words 💖
Being a true woman is being valued less and less. And I'm so glad that God spoke that value back into their lives, especially for Lex. This is so incredibly powerful.
This video was filled with amazing testimony and fantastic conversation!
Ex-bisexual here who used to put all of my identity there as a teen who now follows Jesus! I'm grateful these people can share their story and help believers relate correctly to ANYONE who is living in opposition to Gods ways with love, compassion, and truth
God bless you ♡♡♡
I'm blown away by them receiving more rejection from Christians than non-Christians. To me, to deny that people can repent, or have repented, is to deny Christ himself and his gift. Especially in a situation like this where there is so much trauma associated with their past.
At least her mom was honest tho. Kinda based.
@@kayremoob9579 There's a time and a place for based. In her case, what her Mom said was hurtful and alienating.
I think there are two good places for being based: 1. To remind someone who you are on the side of, of their own beliefs and / or obligations that they are letting slip; 2. In a public debate forum, where you aren't really trying to convince the person you are talking to, but the crowd.
There might be more, but in general, as soon as the person you are talking to perceives you to be their enemy, they stop listening and start fighting.
@@grantstratton2239 If society permitted fathers to fulfill their roles, her mother might not have made such a bold statement, as she would fear accountability from the father. It's surprising how these situations frequently arise when there is no father present. Perhaps increased government intervention could address the issues created by family court. Thoughts?
@kayremoob9579 Weird that you ask. I happen to be a family law attorney. In my state, the law regarding custody is gender-neutral, but moms are far and away getting more custody. There are a variety of human factors involved:
1. Men tend to commit more crimes of violence (though I admit some studies are coming out saying the numbers are closer to even when you factor in all illegal acts of aggression, including abuse, stalking, and the controlling / jealous apsects of the cycle of domestic violence). Probably, society could use a better understanding of how women express aggression differently then men and how to police it.
2. Personal experience says men are more likely to voluntarily give up parenting time.
3. Parental kidnapping statutes are seldom enforced or taken seriously. Especially if it's a woman witholding.
4. Men are seldom taken seriously in our society when cast in the role of a victim. Women almost always are.
5. Men tend to be punished more severely than women for the exact same wrongdoing (this one isn't just my own experience, the US dept. of Justice statistics affirm this).
6. Women have picked up that protective orders are easy to abuse to get an early litigation advantage, and it protects them from any subsequent parental kidnapping claims. For whatever reason, men just aren't doing the same.
7. Parental Alienation got taken out of the DSM as a diagnosis, and for a while, the unscrupulous were allowed to get away with arguing there was no such thing or the issue wasn't important.
@@grantstratton2239 1. Examine the differences by race, and you'll see a common factor: the absence of fathers. Why is this? In the 1970s, government policies encouraged women to leave their partners.
2. Yes, the mother is difficult to work with, society doesn't support fatherhood, and the system is unjust. It's shocking.
3. No. Police will say it's a civil matter and that the order is open to interpretation.
4 - 5. Correct. As a man, why even bother? You answered point 2.
6. They do, but the apposing party tells them to hide till court.
7. Shocking, but a judge will simply dismiss it regardless.
It's all about money. The system profits from tearing American families apart, and no one will do anything about it, except throw up technicalities. That's fine, but don't be surprised as culture and the country deteriorate.
This is such a good conversation that reaches way beyond transgenderism and LGBT communities. It’s all because of Christ. As a traditional wife, I find myself relating to this couple. It’s amazing.
The way Iris’ name came to be and what it means is just beautiful. Had me in tears!
I am floored by this brave couple’s testimony. I found myself tearing up for what they went through as kids, especially for Lex, & how they entrusted God throughout.
Thank you Lex & Nick for agreeing to be interviewed by Michael. I will pray for you all.
And congratulations on hearing the good baby news!!
I’m a Christian. I love the testimony of this couple and I’m so thankful that I watched it today. This has totally changed the way I think about people who identify as gay or transgender. I was shocked to hear that both were Christians before God changed their desires/life. But after listening to their story, it’s obvious that this sin is no different than other sins and that Christians struggle it just like alcoholism and pornography. I have asked for God to forgive me for being judgmental and I will pray for all those Christians that are still struggling with this sin. Thank you so much for sharing.
You are right. It is no different than a couple doing the dirty before their marriage and before God has blessed their union. All sin must be nailed to the cross. And we must do our best, even though it is so hard to, to not let our flesh cloud the image of God, who is a jealous God, such that we would try to tell God how to run His kingdom. If I were in charge of letting people thru the gate then no one would ever get in!!!
@Momofukudoodoowindu that's a huge stretch; the sin of a couple having premarital sex is comparable to a someone chopping off their breasts? That's like saying someone who's stole a candy bar is comparable to someone who has committed murder.. You seem to be thinking too emotionally. Stop and think..
@@undoctrinati0n Yes. It is. The premise of both of these sins is to believe yourself as a little-g god. It breaks the commandments thou shalt have no other god before me ... which includes your own self. Whether it is you believing you are capable of being the opposite sex and taking hormones or whether it is you believe you are able to covet and live a perverted promiscuous life style. Both are rooted in the same philosophy.
Exactly 💯. God keeps working in us even after salvation. Salvation is a continuous process. That God for letting me see this
This is a beautiful Holy Spirit led discussion. Thank you for sharing this dialogue with us. Thank you Nick and Liz Renick for choosing Jesus and pressing into God’s calling on your lives.
Just few minutes into watching this and despite not hearing their whole story. As they speak, something about them is shining like a calm and satisfied joy.
"I am the LORD, the God of all mankind. Is anything too difficult for me?" Jeremiah 32:27 Thank you two for letting your light shine. Beautiful interview!
🙏🏻
"For who in the skies can compare with the LORD? Who among the heavenly beings is like the LORD?
" ps 113:5. no one like our God!!
Her story is heartbreaking… and yet the redemption is so inspiring. What a precious couple. She’s so brave. They both are. ❤
This couple is so brave - I can’t wait to see all the young people they bring to Jesus! Praying for everyone who needs to hear their story 🙏
This video came up randomly and I’m so glad I decided to watch it. SUCH a powerful testimony WOW. GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME. I’m a straight woman married to my wonderful husband and have a beautiful baby boy. But still, this story speaks to me. I love seeing what God has done for you guys and how he will continue to use you for his glory. It’s easy to see that God has big plans for you both. And your love for each other is so incredibly touching. God bless you and your family forever!
This is such a beautiful example of how the Lord doesn't cause our afflictions but still uses them.
You got that right! Bad things that happen aren’t from God but it can used to glorify even more.
I used to be transgender, I really believed I was a girl, but I started thinking about my identity and I realized, Oh my gosh, I am depressed, and I started doing things that I loved and werent awful and unhealthy, and I started feeling normal again
Proud of you!
@@BaraCerna thank you 😊
Well done ❤ Hope you’re doing well ❤
@@ld.j4391 I am, thanks for saying this
Let me guess, lots of porn too?
25:00 the Christian’s that reject this couple are not real Christians and they need to stop it with their b.s. That is what turns people off of Christianity. We should not be rejecting anybody who has genuinely changed their lifestyle or is trying to find God. It makes me so angry.
Exactly, I'm not even a Christian and I can sniff them out
My advice for people is to go to the Bible first to confirm what (so called) christians tell you. The Bible tells us what a "proper" christian should and shouldn't act like and if they don't live up to that (note, not everyone is perfect) then it is not wrong to put some question marks to if what they are saying is actually Biblical.
it didn't make sense... like there's something missing.
Agreed. Only God can judge.
I hear you and I say the same thing. Alot of these so called Christians turn people away. To me that is worse than an atheist
The depth of her love for her husband is so moving. They have a beautiful testimony! It's so wonderful to hear about how Jesus met them where they were, they humbled themselves and trusted Jesus fully and He walked with them.
When I heard they were able to have a child it made me so happy. All children are a blessing. My son changed my life. Children make life simple when most things are overly complicated.
Pray for my mother , shes in a homosexual relationship, i am a devout catholic constantly praying for her to find christ 🙏 ❤️
If you aren't already a member, please seek your local Encourage chapter. We pray together, and that support is so valued. I will add your Mom to my prayer list. Please also pray for my daughter. Saint Charles Lwanga, please intercede for our loved ones.
Your religion is absolutely cancerous when it comes to same sex attraction. Just let her enjoy her lesbian relationship. She's not hurting anyone.
Prayers to you sweet girl. I can't imagine how on the other end you have to face this. It's one thing for a parent to be praying for their child in this crazy world, but a child having to pray for their parents that has gone astray can not only hurt your heart but having that guiding influence is not there for you. It literally forces you to to turn to God in EVERYTHING. Prayers for you dear Savannah. Btw my daughter is Savanna too, but goes by her middle name now. So, I will keep you and your parents in my prayers.
She is beautiful and well mannered, he is caring and kind. You can see the love of God within them God bless them. Thank you Jesus 🙏🫶
I was gaslit into thinking i was a woman.. Countless times i said " im not a woman " but i was told " yes you are " all because i had a feminin appearence.. It got so bad.. after 6 months i finally broke free 1 week onto hormones because my brain was screaming at me to not do it.. I dodged the largest missile and got out early.. I PRAY for those who are still stuck in that situation
God made you just right. May He continue to bless and keep you. ❤️
This is forgiveness beyond what I could have imagined.
That’s what Jesus does for us!🤍
Immediately you can tell how respectful they have become, he respects her femininity and she reciprocates accordingly
But should she be respectful of his femininity?
@@jacoblehrer4198it’s always a work in progress. They have come a a long way.
This type of relationship needs to be normalized in Christian circles. No matter how you may have walked before, you can always change direction and walk with Christ!
the pope says homosexuality is not a sin
Apparently the pope has never really Comprehended*Read the Holy Scriptures!!!
It's PLAINLY stated that being intimate with the same sex is an Abomination!! @@bastilleboo8541
This is one of the best interviews I have heard in a while! So raw, so honest, so healing to the soul!
A couple months ago I ended a relationship with a woman (I’m a woman too) that I really love, what was worse is that there were no issues in our relationship, but I felt a God telling me that they needed to. it’s been a hard transition but I am trying to listen to what he has to say putting my trust being God for my life. I don’t feel attraction to men and I have prayed for that, so we’ll see how that goes. Their testimony was very moving and reaffirming thank God both of your lives and thank you for your obedience.
How wonderful of you to let go of your own desires to follow the Father! God designed marriage for our benefit; if that's something you desire, continue to pray for it while understanding that His will is vastly superior to your own. I hope He plans to send you a godly man you can love and build a life with. Sometimes attraction comes after love, that can be true for any couple. I honestly didn't find my husband handsome until after I fell for him, but now I love seeing his face when he gets home from work ☺
It's not even bout your desires, it's bout building a relationship with Jesus and eventually you will want to align your life with him. So that's why we need to trust him , he will take care of the rest. Seek first the kingdom of the Lord❤️❤️❤️
I've learned my way never works. I encourage you to keep seeking God. He'll guide you. And I'll keep you in my prayers! ❤
There are others who went through the same thing! Off the top of my head there’s Jackie Hill Perry, Rosario Butterfield, Becket Cook, Christopher Yuan. Check them out.
I have a friend who, after ending a relationship was still attracted to women yet she met a wonderful man and thy got married- out of obedience to Christ. After 7 years with this man, one day the attraction for women was just gone. She was so shocked. Gos took away the desire for women and loved her husband and God gave her three amazing children with him.
This is why Jesus is King
I only wish Candace would believe in Jesus too! She is so lost pretending and obsessing.
@@323azteca yeah but give her props for bringing Christianity out in the public more..all perspectives we've been seeing is Jews vs Muslims
It’s really sad that a wonderful phrase like this has become a prop for a narcissist to promote herself with.
Amen!!! Jesus is The Way, The Truth and The Life!!!
1 John 1:8
"If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us."
@user-eg9sx3oo9u DW speaks Christian faith out publicly more than any other conservative outlet, including more than Candace. Saying words is cheap - understanding the faith and living it out wisely and authentically is what's needed.
I produced this interview. Just wait to see the full interview tomorrow. It will blow your mind.
No, it won't.
Cool
Wah wah wah@@positivelynegative9149
Hi Ben. Could you perhaps try and organize an event where Michael speaks with post apartheid south African citizens and compare the discrepancies between them and American politics. I am a South African citizen and there is far more racial tensions than America has yet there is some unity against the left doctrine except at universities.
