Is there really such a thing as ex-gay? Can people really change through the gospel?

It's time for The Line of Fire with your host, activist, author, international speaker, and theologian,

Dr. Michael Brown, your voice of moral, cultural, and spiritual revolution.

Michael Brown is the director of the Coalition of Conscience and President

of Fire School of Ministry. Get into the line of fire now by calling 86634 Truth. That's 86634 Truth.

Here again is Dr. Michael Brown. Well, yesterday marked a very important day for me 46 years ago. The Lord set me free from

addiction to the needle. It was the time of real surrender in my life. I had believed for about

five weeks before that that Jesus really died for my sins, but I wasn't willing to repent or turn

away. And God's grace

flooded my heart December 17th, 1971. I got an overwhelming revelation of the love of God for me

and saw that I was spitting in his face by living the way I was living. And at that moment, I said,

Lord, I'll never put a needle in my arm today.

That was the point of surrender, of repentance, of acknowledging and submitting to the lordship of Jesus.

I've been free from that point on, the outward drug addiction, just being a small part of the

larger transformation of my life.

That was 46 years ago on December 17th. I am forever grateful.

You're listening to the line of fire. This is Michael Brown. And later in the broadcast, I'm going to

bring on Stephen Black. He is a prominent leader in what you would call the ex-gay movement.

People who, by God's grace, have been delivered from homosexual practice.

He's got a great testimony.

He's got a new book out called Freedom Realized.

So we're going to have a great conversation with Stephen, starting at the bottom of the hour.
