Dr. J Show | December 27, 2023 - Ken Williams

Ken Williams is the author of The Journey Out: How I Followed Jesus Away from Gay and co-founder of Changed Movement, a small army of people who have left the LGBT subculture.

Ken was exposed to gay porn as a child. He was also always the smallest boy, so he had an easier time hanging out with girls, who were nicer to him than the boys. This contributed to his gay identity.

As he got older, Ken became suicidal. "The consternation and distress internally over having strong desires for something that I didn't want was very troubling."

"I started seeing a Christian psychotherapist for five years weekly, and he kept me alive. I cannot emphasize enough the importance of having therapy." If his distress happened now in California where he lives and therapy is illegal, "I might have ended my life," Ken said.

"It's devastating the laws that are in place in some places now." Having been 17 when he got therapy, he said, "Nobody needs help more than a minor."

To hear Ken's answers to the questions, "Do you think people are born gay?" and "Is it possible to be a gay Christian?" watch the full interview for free on our Locals channel. (If you don't yet have an account, all you need is to enter an email and create a password.)

Identity in Christ

By Faith Hakesley at Advice from a Survivor

A big reason for evil in the world is that many have stopped putting their identity in Christ. This upside-down world will never change until people open their hearts to the light of Christ and let Him in.

Many who cause harm to themselves or others do so because evil was done to them, but this doesn't excuse them. We might understand the "why" behind someone's actions, but two wrongs don't make a right.

There's some truth to the expression, "hurt people hurt people." One reason this can become a vicious cycle is that people who are angry, hurt, and confused, often search for answers to their problems in all the wrong places.

Reminder: Fertility Awareness Curriculum Sale Ends Soon

Get Natural Womanhood's on-line video series to help mothers teach their daughters about fertility before the sale ends Saturday.

Five reasons your daughter or granddaughter needs this course:

She will not learn the truth without your help. Other influences will tell her half-truths, misleading stories about herself, and even outright lies.
Puberty is puzzling and difficult. Understanding her fertility will help her understand her identity.
She is not too young to learn this information. This course is not about sex; it teaches the truth about the female body like no other course does.
Medical responses in this area often have negative consequences. She needs to be equipped to resist the pressure to get on contraception as a teen.
Without proper education, she is more likely to develop false ideas about herself. She may think she must perform a certain way to be loved and accepted. This is dangerous and is why so many young women get hurt or experience mental health difficulties.

Order before December 30 at midnight and receive:

a 10% discount: $112.50 instead of $125.
a bonus Activity Guide with 7 fun, educational and inspiring activities to help parents connect with their daughters about this topic.

Read more and access the course at the current discount.
