- I had a little time to chat with a guy named Trevon in the Little Five Points area of Atlanta. We talked about his belief that we are all our own gods and some other interesting topics.

I'm in tears because it is SO rare to see this. Two black men. A straight Christian black man treating a gay non believer black man with full respect, love, dignity. All the while engaging in sharing biblical truth. Thank you for setting this example.
If you think of yourself first by your race.. you are a racist and not a true Christian
Why is it was too black man why couldn't it be two persons talking if he was white and homosexual in the other guy was black doesn't make a different why this can't be two person why you got to be black evolve it's a soul
Troy Hie please don’t be so easily offended, historically homophobia has been a problem in the black community. She was pointing this out to people who understand the context.
erick smith no one said or implied that there race was elevated above their belief in Christ. This was purely contextual for people who lived or were raised in black communities.
No need to call her racist. Just because u have a different lived experience does not mean u attack another person. She is touched to see people within our community engaging. Nothing racist about that. She did not say black people are better then anyone
“Christianity is not behaviour modification. It is a heart change.” 👏🏾
Yasssss
Amen
Actually, it is both. Your heart change will change your behavior.
Junnie Davis haha. 1 year later comment. Hey! You’re totally right! I think the quote is speaking more on the fact that Christianity isn’t simply a change of behaviour. It’s kinda like saying “because I no longer gossip I’m a Christian” which obviously wouldn’t be the case. But I understand your point as well, when we come to Christ our behaviour and our heart changes towards things that are Godly. Even when we repent, while being Christian we turn away from our sin and our heart is regenerated by the holy spirt. So you are right!
Travis Wallace The first part is actually true too though.
“They deny the existence of God, but still want to be treated as an image of God”...wow that was powerful. Humbling and eye opening statement.
God does exit in Buddhism, its just the delusional western like to deny that, it have nothing to do with Buddhism
Yes, what a great and true statement 🙌🏻
If I wanted to be treated as an image of God I'd be allowed to send people to hell. Like what are you saying??
@@anbillie image is different to the real deal. people buy fake gucci all the time, it's an image of the real gucci and people respect the real gucci, it has the real and true influence. Same manner, as an image of God you have power but you are not ALL powerful like the real God.
@@SisandaCJ The golden rule was taught by Buddha before Christ was even born. So you have no point. One does have to have Christ to be moral. You should know the difference. One can have a relationships with Christ and not be moral.
THIS is how we should evangelize. not yelling at people and demeaning them. you did such an amazing job!! it's inspired me!
camille hood yessss!!
Yes Lord yes that is what we need to do a walk in love and let God do the rest
While this was great, it cannot be prescriptive.
Agreed
camille hood facts!
He will never be the same after this conversation
You can say that again!
Very true, I heard the sadness in his voice and saw it in his face
How do you know?
anbillie that’s what I’m saying. The rich young ruler encountered Jesus himself and didn’t change. This man may or may not change, we can only hope the seed that was planted gets deeply rooted and blossoms.
@@mikestillrapping612 Umm I'm sure he has the same opinion. Lol I've had many conversations with believers. Changed my life? Umm no. If these words meant the same thing to everyone then we would all be saved. So what you're saying isnt the TRUTH...its your truth.
That man seems like such a sweet person. I pray God opens his eyes.
Lordpraisethe yes most definitely
Lordpraisethe I don’t know that he can change. But you are right he is a beautiful person ! You know something I think that gays and lesbians have always been around. Even when Jesus was walking around, they had to hide themselves back in ancient days.
Kevin Warren he cant change on His own, but if he says yes to Jesus, then the Spirit of God will gradually change through time if he continues to follow God
Kevin Warren I’ve been set free from my homosexual lifestyle brother! If you put your heart, mind, soul and strength to God He can deliver you from anything! Society told me that my sin can become my identity and I became deceived by it. But by being born again with the Holy Spirit one can be saved from homosexuality. Research into the origins of the LGBT, it will really open your eyes and it’s very wicked.
God bless you brother!🙏
Amen
Thank you! I’m a former atheist and it was a good friend of mine who challenged me to ponder and question what I believed. Two years later, the Lord saved me. I appreciate how thoughtful, gentle and respectful you were with this young man. Keep these vlogs coming! By the way, I think I had that same jacket in middle school-should’ve kept it.
Two questions. You say you were a former atheist, but what do you mean by you "questioned what you believed"? Also, what was the event that made you into a theist?
jettythesunfish believed in atheism.
It is a belief to not believe. There were a series of events of learning about the Gospel, the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Mainly that I am a sinner. I’ve broken God’s laws (10 commandments) and I needed a Savior. The moment is something that God has done for me because I could not and cannot save myself. I believe in the one true God who sent His Son, Jesus Christ to do what I could not do. I’m not a theist. I am a Christian. Read the Bible, I like the English standard version, personally. Know the facts about Christianity read up on it. I did. One day it was beyond a shadow of a doubt that Christianity is the only way.
Yay!, God bless
Praise God!
Miata Ezueh where did u buy it? I want one
This is probably the best example of modern-day evangelism I've ever seen. Ever.
Estina Francos the way Preston presented the message allowed the young man to listen without feeling disrespected and hated. I also love how the young man was very humble and didn’t get argumentative. I really like how he gave Preston the opportunity to share the truth. All I can say is, Wow!
You handled this so well! You didn't demean him, you didn't poke at him when he couldn't answer questions. But you showed the hypocrisy in his beliefs and the truth in Christ. I look forward to watching more of these types of videos from you!
I agree, He spoke to him with the love of Christ, like you said not condemning him at all. I pray Trevon seeks and understands the truth as well as the love of God.
Exactly Amen
Amen
I open air preached in my city to let all hear the Gospel and repentance, and sometimes do a one on one witnessing too. Here is one problem: do not explain to a person the Godhead because I got tangled in it with them, as it gets confusing to them.
More of these please! I think all of us in the Christian faith need learn to defend our faith in love! I've learned so much all ready! Keep shining bro!
word. i suggest reading books on Christian apologetics and a book called "world religions" by huston smith if you want to learn really cool facts about other belief sysems. Godspeed
thanks for the recommendations.
Omg yes more of these please
Sorry.... but the new age of Jesus is all love is not right.... He was big on repentance.. and if you don't tell them they are sinning they will never learn... and for me to truly love them I would have to tell them how to get to Heaven...
I'm sorry that you feel like you cant tell the truth AND be Christ-like in love. Theres's a way to preach repentance without being rude and unloving.
This gay man is convicted. The seed has been planted, God give the increase. Change His heart Lord.
The Jacobs In Jesus name Amen
The Jacobs God will keep knocking on his heart. What is “increase”? I’m guessing you mean that he will increase his knowledge of his sin and rebellion through reading the Bible.. I find that the Holy Spirit reveals truth and also conviction when we study the Bible and humbly pray.
Amen
The Jacobs in Jesus mighty name Amen!
Amen
I noticed that he somehow went seeking for a religion that will agree with what he what he wants to do. People often go find a set of rules that they agree with and then go against Christianity because it doesn’t agree with them.
Geor Fabi amen! If you didn’t hit the nail on the head.
Geor Fabi amen I said the same thing
I think he went looking not so much for something that would agree with him. That can be part of it. But something and someone that wouldn't hurt him. And that's different. A lot of ppl turn away from Christianity bc they are smart enough to know that the ones giving them the message are not for them. They are hurting them. And a lot of ppl turn to Jesus and come out of their sin bc they finally come in contact with the truth that he loves them and is not out to hurt them. That love or the lack of it changes everything.
@@codeN_8 This, in part, is why I'm beginning to think that the best method is to spread the gospel but allow the nuances of Christianity to be revealed naturally.
2 Timothy 4:3-4
As a former participant in homosexuality & have witnessed how outright cruel evangelists can be, this was beautifully done praise the Lord. & that mans humility is really admirable. Seems he has a teachable spirit. Lord reveal yourself to him
I feel you sis, some of the meanest and hateful people are proclaimed Christians and come from the church, I cane to Mashiach (Christ) when I sought him for myself, that’s when my relationship with him and my true faith walk began ❤️
BOLD. GRACE. TRUTH!
Fantastic apologetics.
Not to win the argument.
But to capture the heart.
I love this content!
Exactly!! God wants to win the Heart!!
Well said👏👏👏
Wow Shane McC, very well said!
I see so many people using the “wrath” angel, and this just pushes people further away.
Love is the best approach. 💕
How do you focus on winning the heart? I find myself looking for arguments
Amen
This video almost made me cry. My whole heart was just affected! I pray that I learn to communicate Jesus to people like this. Thank you for this. God bless you and your wife, Mr. Perry.
I struggle with this too! Please pray for me to have the grace and courage necessary to preach like this....
Same but I know the Holy Spirit will take over and fill all of us with the knowledge, confidence, and love to do this. God Bless ☺️
Same I used to be like this and I strayed but also people these days act and I can feel my flesh rising especially when they come very disrespectful but I’m learning emotional discipline and confidence in Christ because God doesn’t need us to get rowdy. He is the truth. We just have to have the right delivery.
Yes sis!!!! Presenting the Gospel ie the Love of God through Jesus...in love!!
😭😭😭😭😭 I'm a Christian also however after watching this, I too wanted more of God, More of Christ, Glory be to God, I pray for all of us, to seek the one true God and repent of all our sins, Thank you Preston, this challenged me alooooot.
Mathapelo same!!! I love this attitude from believers. I want more 💕
Amen
Father wants us to b His people and when u find urself wanting more of God and pursue getting to know Him daily ur eyes open so wide and u c the Father in everything good and bad. even if u dont understand things sometimes He gives u peace AND U KNOW ITS THE REAL DEAL. DITCH RELIGION AND JUST FOLLOW JESUS, FATHER JUST WANTS A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH U!!! start loving those who do u wrong and u will b amazed how much ur heart changes
I love 💘 how Preston said: my sin deserves just as much death as yours does.
Living an LGBTQ Lifestyle is NOT the worst sin of all... Because God doesn't RANK sin...SIN is SIN is SIN to God
NOT a sin at all! Starting any conversation or debate with a FALSE premise "wins" no converts even if you are a pleasant conversationalist! That said, I don't get the rationale for having poor manners having a 30 min chat on the street in the rain?
@@HISBestLifeCoach to God, it is.
I hate to be the bearer of bad news to you but there is scripture that spoketh of sexual immorality as being worse because it's inflicted to your own body.
Ehhhh, I haven't seen scripture to support that all sins are viewed as the same level of "evil" by God. All sin causes men to fall short of the Glory of God, however, that doesn't mean there aren't varying punishments for differing degrees and acts of sin. I think that is displayed clearly in the Old Testament law. By God instituting varying degrees of "just" punishment, I think those punishments indicate God's view on the sin's level of severity. Think of it this way... would it be just for Hitler to receive the same amount of punishment as a liar and petty thief? I think we can all agree that would not be just, and we must remember God is perfectly just.
When pointing people to Christ, I don't think focusing on the degree of sin is important because Christ's sacrifice covers all sin, however that's not to say it doesn't exist.
@@collinwalker550 Our justice is different from God's justice. Would you not agree that there is only one Hell. But there is more than one way to pay for a crime in the world- fine, community service, jail. But when God was saying sin is sin he was saying that Jesus blood covers it all- that's why he is a just God. God gives out righteous judgment not just judgement- A loving justice that provides a second chance before damnation.
"You will be like God." - Satan
The first lie! Thank you so much I will use that word♡
Satan thought he could 🤣🤣didn't end well for him won't end well for us either
“You will be like Satan” -God
VTE Aka Versityle Tell Em Literally never said that
ethan bruner Psalm 82:6 ye are God’s and all of you are the children of the most High.
I went to high school with him and shared the gospel with him before . I pray for his soul!🙏🏾
That’s the Great Commission which is to share the Gospel.
You said Ethiopia was one of the first Christian nations in the 5th century 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽facts
It was actually earlier than that. Remember, in the book of Acts, the Eunuch of Queen Candace of Ethiopia who the Apostle Phillip found traveling from Jerusalem reading the book of Isaiah? That was 1st Century AD. He got baptized by Philip and returned to Ethiopia to convert the whole kingdom. We know this to be factual because by 4th Century AD the entire Aksum Empire (which was the ruling empire in Northern Ethiopia) accepted Christianity. Some even claim the Aksumites to be descendants of the Queen of Sheba who met with King Solomon. Therefore, Ethiopians very likely knew of the True & Living God even before the time of Christ. Blessings
Actually it was Egypt, flowed by Sudan and then Ethiopia who became Christian without Europe
Where's my habesha(Ethiopian) fam at🙌
Jamal yep!
@@450Flamezz yh I saw that in a TV show
He basically awakened him to the truth that he doesn't really know why he's doing what he's doing. This was great.
I'm a believer in Christ and of Yoruba descent , I'm Nigerian. I believe he is misinformed about God from the Yoruba culture. The traditional believers believe in the creator called "Olodumare" and they also believe in humans becoming small gods called "orisa". Anyway, this was a beautiful back and forth conversation and i've learnt better on how to deal with non believers with love. Praise Jesus!
Definitely misinformed. And I'm Kenyan not Nigerian. I wonder why some people make stuff up about us Africans as if we don't have real culture and lives.
I love how he wasn’t ashamed to say he didn’t know or like “let me think about how to answer that” or “I never thought about it that way” the respect & love in this video is great to see.
"Christianity is not behaviour moderation, but what it is, it's a heart change." For me that statement was so powerful....One of the most powerful statements I've heard. Even as christians, we need to be aware and understand that for ourselves. So much to learn.
This exchange was exercised with so much love, and respect.
Yikes! Yoruba is not a spirituality religion it is a language and MY Nigerian tribe 😂. I’m sorry I had to pause and clarify...don’t want people to be misinformed.
Yeah- my husband is Igbo- I was so confused when I heard him say that about “Yoruba spirituality”. Great video though. Very informative.
I was thinking the same.
There actually is a yoruba religion, as there is Jewish people and the Jewish faith, I'm amazed that he has followed 3 diff religions and can't tell you much about any of them because he goes were he can sit comfortably in sin as many of us do
Fay Boogie thank you for this information. I had no idea.
Precious211 Yoruba is also a religion
You handle this really well. I think he knew that your heart was in the right place. You definitely gave him something to think about. God bless you bro
I just did a project on Ethiopia and he is right. They were first a Christian nation way before the 1500s.
Lin A of course as they are a tribe of Israel
When you started talking about the Gospel, and how without Christ, Christianity is nothing, I felt the presence. Powerful. 🙏
LeonardSeeksWisdom I felt it too, I was literally in my car screaming YES!!!!!!
Amen
Yes there is no Christianity without Jesus 🙌🏾 because it was built out of his lifestyle
Not just his lifestyle but what he did on the cross
John 3:16
The time patience respect and love you had toward this young man was amazing Preston. You drew so much out of him and planted such precious seed. Praying for him and for you as you serve 🙌🏼❤️
I truly believe believe... That many people leave Christianity because...one is possible "Church hurt" and then another is because people are seeking things that cater to their flesh and anything that counters those fleshly desires are despised by them. Good interview, brother. 👊🏽
Plus the devil has set them far from God with much deception
Yes, the church is not patience to listen and correct in love.
Jesus said, "I am the Way..."
I got so frustrated by street preachers that just shout out what they believe and what’s true but not delivered in a loving way.. thank you for showing an example of how to do it loving and clear :)
PRESTON!!!!!! My brother. You requested in several times a challenge. Trayvon NEEDED a hug. 🤗
Wow. So thought provoking. You handled that with grace and love. Thank you for this conversation. It’s life changing. I pray that we as Christians walk in this way in order to bring truth and love to the forefront, which will ultimately bring change through the teachings of Jesus Christ! 🙌🏾
Definitely
I love how Preston is so humble without judgement to this man. I love how he is asking and answering questions like Christ would. Great interview and perspective from Preston.
I love this! Over the course of two days, I've prayed briefly asking God to show me how we as the church should witness and be a witness to the LGBTQs and I know now that I didn't happen on this video by chance. Thank you so much for sharing this. Trying to get my soul winning game on point and this is good tutorial for me. Well done Preston.
Watch his wife's testimony on Identity and sexuality, that might help too
I am a Nigerian and from the Igbo tribe which shares 90 percent spirituality and culture with the Hebrew Israelites. Having said that, I grew in African spirituality and I have studied African spirituality which is in itself a religion, but I am a Christian because it is more plausible to me over the years of my experience and studies. I can say that God consciousness has been with the primitive people who predates Christianity and that their practices and belief are the desire for the true God. The simple example is that in all the African spiritualities and religions (I used the plural words because there are many spiritualities and religions in Africa which are even older than Egyptian mythology but people seem to focus on Egypt because of the Pyramid). Having said that, in all these religions, we have hierarchical order in their gods. That in itself is a reflection of that consciousness of the one supreme God. Because at the end there is one supreme over all. Monotheism has always been there but the people lacked the true knowledge. The problem my fellow Africans have is to always think that being first is being true. Also to always want everything to be African and that no truth can come from the white man. There is a lot of racial prejudice among my African Americans and African brothers and as well among Westerners. But so unfortunate our racial prejudice and history of slavery beclouds our ability to embrace the truth. Everything outside Africa is now a suspect. Mostly with religion and spirituality. But the fact is that Christianity is not even a white man's religion.
Thanks for giving my brother those words. I pray he has a change of mind after this conversation.
People who pray but are not Christians probably won't get their prayers answered because they don't seek him enough
Hebrews/ Israelites Original jews are historically black... it’s already been proven. Always good to research before you make a commitment to any faith.
@@noeliyah6669 Jacob had 12 sons, which became the 12 tribes of Israel, my question, which of these tribes were african? Remember, Jacob's name was changed to lsrael by God and his 12 sons became the nation of Israel, being Hebrew. Where is the root, that began the Hebrew/Israelites? Remember, there's only one name, given under heaven by which a man can be saved, and that name is Christ Jesus.
@@kennethjohnson4456 my exact sentiments. I am African but I don't understand why my other black brothers and sisters want so badly to be blood-related to Israel. We are gentiles that have been accepted in the family of Christ. Shouldn't that instead remind us how undeserving we are and praise Jesus for His sacrifice that has forever changed us? (not saying that Israel was deserving) This really shows that many "Christians" have not understood the work that He came to do and it is truly sad. I pray that we allow Him to actually impact our lives rather than majoring on things that don't even matter at all.
Encouraging bro!!!! I pray his heart turns to Jesus as friend and father! I love this! It was neat to see this young man be challenged and think.
I know I’m late to post, but THESE are the conversations truly healing the hurt that the church has caused. Love the work Preston and Jackie do! It’s been instrumental to me
Great approach Preston! I love how you made him realize that his own way of rationalizing his beliefs were flawed. This is how we as Christians need to engage the lost, with Love and the mind of Christ.
Spiritually edified. Thank you Preston for being BOLD and UNASHAMED of the Gospel. Lord Jesus, we give you Preston and we pray that he continue to be used for Your glory. We also pray for Trevon that he come to the knowledge of Christ and that he becomes saved. In Jesus name!
I just love his laughter... you can see love in Him and I pray that GOD finishes the work you have started
Preston may The Most High continue to guide you. That was a true example of how The Word should be shared. In love and in truth!! Thank you for sharing this experience of love. That’s how He told us to do it! Just awesome!!
Please keep these coming. Our generation needs this encouragement and knowledge more than ever. I was blessed and learned a lot.
This was a dope conversation. I like the way the brotha was able to admit when he didn’t have an answer and the way he so easily identified when he hadn’t thought of a certain aspect of his own train of thought,. As men, we sometimes Instinctively clap back from a defensive stance even when a wiser position is being presented.
I’d love an update on these two but I’m also focused on updating my own situation using this very video, so there’s that. Wow! GOD is all up in this discussion.
Pleeeeeeeeeeease do a video on Catholicism. Many thanks
@@JonelleRheu he made several videos in his channel about this topic
Ohh my, yes please conduct a video with a Catholic practitioner. If you are Christian you are not catholic but if you are catholic you are Christian. It is a blurry line that Catholics cross because they have a mix of feeding both their cardinal and spirit man but believe in Jesus so there believed argument is held being our lord but they still practice in worshiping other “saints” and calling on a second party for direction rather than building a relationship directly with Jesus. Would really like to see both sides and the arguments presented
Yesss!!
Illy Centeno wrong!
@@illycenteno5560 they do not worship saints look up what they believe and hear it from the horses mouth not other Christian's. I suggest if you want to know what they believe, to witness to them I guess then look at their youtube channel catholic answers.
I'm here in 2024 ...I'm 19 from Kenya and I recently discovered the Perry's. I just want to appreciate Preston's youth 😂.He looks 16 and cute😊.
You've blessed me and I'm literally binging on you and Jackie's content.
I pray that God keeps on using you ❤
This was sssooo good‼️I pray that believers seeing this will be empowered to share the gospel, show the love of Christ, and engage in conversation with non believers! Just phenomenal!
THIS is how you minister! Not demeaning or antagonizing, however keeping the heart of Jesus in it. Love these convos
I have sooo much respect for Preston. Truly gifted at what he does. He’s so careful with the hearts of people while being bold in truth. That’s a fine line that he balances so well. All evangelists should be taking notes!
I’ve watched 2 of your videos tonight! I loved them. Bonus, I did not realize you were Jackie Hill Perry’s gusband. I’ve done 2 of her studies and bought her book Good God Gay Girl! I love you both!❤
Awesome!!! If I could like this video a thousand times, very inspirational , praying for the young man, I believe this will always stay with him
I love how you handled him. Tactfully, respectfully, and lovingly. I aspire to do this one day.
This is amazing!! This is how we as believers should interact with people. Loved this whole thing.
wow Preston ! You are so anointed to do what you do. You do it with so much gentleness and respect. You can literally feel the no judgement zone leap off the screen. Praise God !
You did what everyone else " says they should do"..."thinks they should do"..." is too scared to do"...
You. Actually.Went.Out.And.Did.it
Preston, God bless you bro.
You are an Amazing Man of God.
Phenomenal job in Preston! I am straight up in tear to see your words really touching this guys hearts! I pray right now in the name of Jesus that he will one day before it’s to late, seek God with all his mighty and find him.
Brother, I appreciate you doing this and showing a loving and truth-filled way to have these dialogues. This is beneficial. Grace and peace, Preston!
Wow. What an example of how to speak the truth in love. I feel encouraged
"That's a really good question." = "Bruh, I have no idea."
Preston both of you are examples of how to have a peaceful discussion with gentleness and respect! I love how you showed so much respect and love which allowed him to not feel threatened. You gain his respect and proved it was all love which allowed him to humbly listen! Wow! Both of you showed everyone on both sides how to dialogue without hatred and chaos! Praise God for your wisdom and heart to speak truth in love! 👍🏽🙌🏽😇
This is beautiful. First of all, the man he is evangelizing to obviously has a beautiful and pure heart. I pray that God would mold his heart to be more like Jesus and to understand God’s word, not with a condemnation, but with a conviction and loving viewpoint. Preston, I’m always amazed in the way you navigate conversations with such grace, truth, and boldness as is your mission. Excellent work for the kingdom.
This is the smartest conversation so far that I've seen this week and best clear approach to this subject in general AND also incredibly genius of how at the same time you just like that created most likely the biggest life changing impacts in this young man's life. GENIUSLY BLESSED! Thank you for your amazinly blessed approach and God's service!
This was dope bro we definitely need more of this in our communities! Great to see that you are willing to spread the truth and spread it with the love that Jesus tells us to spread it with. God bless fam💯
I’m in tears too. That’s was beautiful. Although I wish the outside elements weren’t there because it was a little distracting to that interestingly wonderful conversation you all were having. However, aside from that, The Lord is really using you as His mouth piece to reach his people. Your obedience is inspiring and motivating. Thank you for sharing.
OMGGGG. This is sooo GREAT and truly BOLD! May God bless you for doing that in His spirit of LOVE!!!
I recently converted into Christianity again because my guy would challenge with me with questions. I didn't even know how to answer questions regarding my other believes after a while. So I questioned myself... Proof that I was lost. But now that I am back, I am stronger than ever before. The wisdom that the powerful Word of God provides does not compare. ONE MUST READ THE BIBLE! Otherwise, you'll be told lies upon opinions and that doesn't serve us any justice. It's all in the Bible.
Now I'm sure about why I believe in God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. GLORY BE TO GOD!
@Kennia Lopez AMEN KENNIA!!! thats the enemy trying to make us doubt... but God will make u SEE THE TRUTH! u go girl! KEEP BLOOMING LIKE A FLOWER U R DOING JUST FINE 💞💗
amen
Kennia Lopez who says the Bible is totally right
esli slav well said
@@viperviper5 : That is a good question. I believe it is the word of God. I don't deem God a liar.
This was a beautiful interaction. As a Nigerian, I feel like it's important to inform you all that the "Yuroba spirituality" is still considered witch craft or juju in Nigeria. Just in case any of my black brothers or sisters were interested in joining!!!
Thank you for clarifying!
You really talked to him as a brother and an equal. Everything was so calm, the whole conversation flowed.That’s pretty rare. Thank you for taking this approach and for teaching me this approach.
This was so beautiful to watch. Watching this, I realised how we as Christians always want people to give their lives to Christ on the spot and when they don't we feel like the evangelism was not a success. But actually all we have to do is plant a seed of knowledge and truth and leave the rest for God. Thanks for this Mr Perry. ❤❤❤🇿🇦
I absolutely love this brother’s ministry! It’s crystal clear that Preston leaves as soon as someone engages in conversation with him. He IMMEDIATELY moves out the way and lets the Holy Spirit speak
*Trevon is an intelligent, kind, and helpful human! I really enjoyed this video, spreading Jesus, ideas, and sharing good conversations. I've also noticed that many people my age (young 20s) have fallen "out of love" with God or been hurt badly by the church in some way, or maybe their parents. So I try to remember that knowing God as a good parent/father/friend is next to impossible if you have never know this in your own life. Also, I like the Aristotle approach to conversation building/debates, it's a great way to stimulate and keep the dialogue going! Thank you for uploading Trevon!*
Wow, so glad you mentioned your wife's book. It's doing so well on Amazon, praise God! I feel so blessed to be a part of this conversation and your videos!
Praise God, you are looking at this man with nothing but love. This is how Christians should evangelize.
Wow this conversation was so needed .I love how you show much respect and kindness and your conversation with this young brother. I could see the wheels in his mind turning as you spoke .thank you
A lot of times we get so caught up in our pride & so caught up in our humanity that we are too blind & boastful to see things the way God sees them. I feel like believers shy away from LGBTQ- related conversations because our hearts have become so prideful and hardened to the fact that they too are image bearers of God. I am encouraged to pray the prayer of God softening my heart towards LGBTQ people groups and to help me see them through the SAME LOVE he saved me with.
Maybe stop with homophobia
It's the actions God don't like not his creation.
Wonderful. God bless you, Preston. And may the Lord be with Trevon and speak to his heart and transform him by the grace of God!!
thank you for being a christ-like man and also a example for other christians especially the youth like me,it shapes my mind right
This was soooo tasteful and graceful and lovely.
Trevon was so lost. I know that in order for the Holy Spirit to work in our lives, we must have a humble heart, we must metaphorically appear as a child in the presence of God..However I sensed that Trevon was a bit hard hearted. He attempted to defend his belief every single time. Even though his attempts were quickly refuted by the truth. I guess it's his first encounter being met with respect in discussing something of this nature, and it also takes work to undo years of being conditioned by false doctrine. But it only takes a spark, Preston was that spark..
I pray that he seeks the God of the Holy Bible going forward so that he will turn away from sin.
Good vid.
But did you expect him to not defend what he believes in? Hard hearted is how someone who is not a christian would see you as when you start speaking/defending your faith. You just accused him which Preston avoided.
You were so respectful and honest. I pray that this young man will find and fall in love with the true and living God of scripture. Im so happy that you both were willing to converse with each other. Good stuff !
Trevor is a nice guy
Amazing interview. The seed was definitely planted.
"Truth is not subjective". I love the tree/branch analogy.
Wow! That was done with love and truly with the heart of Christ! I really appreciate how you come to people with respect and just challenge their mind to think deeper into what they believe and point out the real truth. Thank you for these videos.
Wow! I've learned so much from this. Speaking boldly and in love! Definitely taking notes!
This is so dope! Glory to God! Thank you for your faithfulness, Preston. I love your and Jackie’s ministry
This is GOLD bro! Thank you for being so bold about your faith! It's encouraging to me, being a young brother that carries a heart for apologetics too! I look forward to seeing more content! God bless you bro!
Remember, he is bold in love and with respect.
I love how Preston approached this guy in love and humility. He did not bash him or put him down, he just brought the truth. I feel that guy left more uplifted than put down. Good job.
This was truly inspiring, what a great template to use for evangelism .
Mannn. You need to be booked from workshops across the nations. This is soooo good!
This is BEAUTIFULLY done!!! So encouraged. Well done Preston!!!
Preston you blow me away with your direction you take these questions in.....May GOD bless you and keep his hand on you
Wow! This is a great video. I love Trevon. He has a sweet spirit about him. I hope he turns to Jesus
Loved watching this. This man has such a peaceful, sweet nature about him and surely pray he is doing well. I just loved his patience and thought process. And I adore your work Preston. It’s beautiful and a gift. Entire movement with each encounter is divine and enchanting.
My Lord. Trayvon Bracey was my ex boyfriend in 2017/2018. I chased after a relationship with him for a while after we called it quits because I was driven by LUST. It didn't work because I was never comfortable in the LGBTQ lifestyle no matter how much I tried to be. GOD always convicted me. I've always knew homosexuality was wrong, but I wanted to do things my way, disobeyed, & ignored GOD. What I thought was love was LUST. I didn't even LOVE myself let alone loving Trayvon. It would NEVER work because GOD made me for a WOMAN & mot a MAN. I Praise GOD for not allowing me to get comfortable in the LGBTQ lifestyle either. I'm not a liar. I still have same sex attractions in 2022. However, I don't act on them. I deleted most of my social media, gave up all my friends, changed my number, & isolated myself to focus on my relationship with GOD. I've accepted JESUS as my LORD, & SAVIOR. I pray, repent, turn from my wicked ways, & fast as much as I can. I'm thanking GOD for giving me the strength to resist the homosexual lifestyle. "JAMES 4:7". I am not perfect, & never will be. I am a SINNER saved by GODs Grace. GOD loves the sinner="Homosexual", but he hates the sin="Homosexuality". I'm glad this Christian man came in love, & not hate.
Hey how about it's because homosexuality is intrinsic part of your being
I just found you not by happenstance. We serve a God of order and I’ve been searching for more information so I can spread the word. I’m trying to learn from as many truth seekers and truth speakers as possible. May God continue to bless you with His boldness to share the gospel with others. Thank you
He has a humble spirit. I pray that he truly repents and lets Christ into his heart ❤
Wow! I’m so thankful you did this video. This is how we, as Christians, should be able to interact with anyone we talk to.
It would also be helpful to me if you could speak on how you recover if you miss the mark during a conversation with someone. And how to get back on track when the conversation is going in the wrong direction.
