  • Jackie Hill Perry was attracted to women before she could spell her own name. Abandoned and mistreated by every man in her life, she sought solace and comfort in women, and had her first girlfriend in middle school. As she became more committed to being a lesbian, she also began dressing and acting like a man. All along, Jackie also felt God trying to get her attention, and one night, could no longer ignore His tug on her heart.
    Accepting Jesus spiraled Jackie into a complete life change, as she committed to following God, met and married her husband, and became a mom to two daughters. In this two day Focus on the Family broadcast, hear Jackie’s incredible story that proves that no one is beyond the grace and love of Jesus Christ.

    What Jackie was describing were Pharisees in her life. People who knew the law, but they forgot the key components of being a christian which are love, grace, forgiveness, and etc.

      @Elegant Anne: true, but the church doesn’t teach Torah anymore, so people/‘Christians’ don’t know of God’s holiness, love and mercy (all of which is in the older testament).

    I love Jackie’s testimony and teaching. Including and beyond LBGTQ but the basics of how to be true followers of Christ- living out our faith with complete obedience to His law AND with complete love and compassion for everyone. That really helps frame how to encourage, witness and love people around me who need Jesus as desperately as I do

    The wisdom and grace that the Lord has given to this lovely woman is a beautiful thing to behold. Her testimony spoke to me around trust of another. Fearing that the feminine would crush me. But having the faith to trust that a godly wife is not only possible but a gift.

But The Lord has removed all the guilt and He has cleansed my conscious and in that I will always be deeply thankful.

    I love this discussion. I was in a relationship for 15 years and my boyfriend blindsided me by saying he's moving on. I was to turn 59 yrs one month later. I was devastated. I spent 2019 under the covers filled with depression and anxiety. As i begun to see a light, the pandemic happened. Although my story is not hers, i got so much out of your discussion. I have hope. I would love to have love in my life but question how that can happen since I've never been one to actively seek a relatioship nor live the kind of life that would allow me to meet different types of people. I look forward to future discussions. Thank you

    Thank you for bring up this so well. I am on the same shoes she were, just Spanish culture and male version. Spanish churches condemn us. I 've been blessed to know the Lord and have a strong Bible based faith, but my church brethren congregation reject me. I am 51 years old, Cuban origin. I was sexually abused at 6 repeatedly.
    I wish I could move up to an American Curch that cares for people like us, be trained to help others in our Spanish community.

    @Godlywoman88 Před 3 lety +7

    As a Christian, I identified with what she said about Xheisfians being so quick to ahove scriptures down your throat.
    I had a homsexual friend and when he came out, I felt didnt exactly love on him and ask him enough questions about his experience, but I cried and kind of distanced myself. When we spoke later, he admitted my reaction hurt him.
    I learned from my experience of being friends with him, especially with someone with that background, to love on them more. This goes for anyone that has a struggle of some sort- listen and practice empathy first. Don't just throw scriptures at folks b/c the Lord himself meets us where we're at.
    Then again, at the time, I guess I just didn't know how to handle that properly as I had my own issues and had never been friends with someone that came out before. You live and you learn.
