In this powerful, testimony, Janick Christen joins Becket Cook from Switzerland to share her journey through childhood trauma, identity confusion, gender dysphoria, medical transition (including hormones and surgeries), and the moment she says God confronted her with a choice that changed everything. This conversation walks through the pain, the beliefs, the questions, and the cost—then traces what she describes as a step-by-step restoration of identity through surrender to Jesus.
Janick speaks candidly about mental health battles, the complexity of family dysfunction, and why she believes “fruit” in someone’s life isn’t the same as God’s approval. If you’ve wrestled with identity, faith, suffering, or how Christians should respond with truth and compassion, this episode is for you.
