In today's episode, Becket Cook talks with former gay man Josh Duiker who shares his powerful testimony of leaving the LGBTQ lifestyle after a dramatic encounter with Jesus at age 40. From growing up secular and struggling with same-sex attraction, addiction, and promiscuity in Los Angeles, to attending a progressive gay-affirming church in Hollywood, Josh reveals how he discovered it was a false gospel and ultimately found true freedom at a biblical church.
In this emotional interview, Josh opens up about his radical salvation experience alone in his apartment, why progressive "gay Christianity" couldn't satisfy his hunger for truth, how reading Scripture and solid preaching exposed the deception, leaving the gay lifestyle, facing backlash from friends and family, and embracing biblical faith.
A must-listen story of redemption, grace, and the transforming power of the real Jesus Christ.
