Discovering the Truth About My Identity (Part 1) - Jackie Hill Perry

- 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.

I love the line when she says when you believe Jesus is worth it then you will deny your fleshly desires... so powerful!!!
Then when she says about recalling her first affection from a man was abuse. It wasnt a hug. My my my.
Jackie has an ability to make things plain and clear.
Truth. I'm not homosexual nor am I perfect. But I have abstained for all 40 years of my life. There's a movie about me. LOL!
I would have to agree.
That statement just summed up for me some things for me on so many levels. And when she said Preach Jesus’. He’s the one that gives us the power to overcome sin (paraphrased).
Her story is my story. Christ set me free in 1998 from homosexuality & addictions and throughout some struggles and failures He continues to show himself faithful. I love Him more everyday. Thank you Jackie.
Amen and Amen 🙌🏾 🙌🏾 🙌🏾
Oh yeh Praise Him
PTL!
Amazing
@@annateves8944 keep trusting in Jesus never let him go
Jackie is so anointed to do what she’s doing. She speaks so confidently and powerfully.
Awesome testimony of God's power to overcome
We are followers of the Word not editors of the Word
Amen! Holy Spirit talking thru her is so inspiring. Truly an annointing
I love Jackie. She brings everything back to SCRIPTURE
Forreal! That’s how we gotta do it😇
AS it should be
*Amen!* It's the ONLY way to do it, and effectively.
Pray that Jackie keeps close to the truth.
Her use of scripture… powerful. Works for any and every sin/ infirmity/ weakness.
Jim daly is such a gifted moderator he just asks the right questions with the right tone of voice.
And he’s so compassionate and so open to listening. It makes it easy for people to open up to him and it’s truly a gift from the Lord.
@Toya Toya - yes. Agree 100.
@@themascaramaven6746 - agreed, yes.
He has such a soothing and happy voice... agree
I have a niece just like her who has never been "feminine enough" and now in highschool has a girlfriend. I thank this woman for writing this and coming to tell her side so that I can better understand my niece.
"We want the created thing more than the Creator." So true. Lord help us.
Amen
True
@@GrokfordYou are correct. Thanks to Him and His Grace!
Any sin that can keep us out of the Kingdom should be discussed on Focus. Thank you for sharing your testimony! The church needs help reaching the LGBTQ community.
Yes
Powerful testimony,I appreciate this young ladies intelligence. 💞
All sin will keep us out of the kingdom...
As a member of that community, no thank you
@@justwhy4633 why no thank you?
Deep. "As if emotions are a feminine trait."
“Until you feel that He is worth it, then you’re willing to crucify those things that you feel is right.”
13:20 she mentions why she had a special connection with women, because they were there for her emotionally. This is an extremely important point in relationships.
Thank you, Jackie for your testimony, your faith, and your honest and loving comments. It’s so valuable (and convicting) to me. As a Christian, I don’t think I respond well to those in my life dealing with homosexuality. Thank you for speaking out it has helped me.
She’s the voice this generation needs ❤️
❤No❤
Yes she is
@@prayerslynette7810 no she’s not💕
I'd grown up associating Focus on the Family with a legalistic community that listened to them on the radio and, in practice, ignored/reinforced abuse to keep traditional family roles in place.
Seeing Jackie here is the reason I clicked to watch them today. I deeply appreciate that they invited her on and that they're discussing this topic in a helpful, positive way.
Dido!
LOVE THIS SISTER IN THE LORD! She such an asset to the body of Christ!!!
I loved the fact that she said that ppl forget to over come u have to first accept jesus and it takes faith and power to accomplish all God's telling us to do love it.
I really appreciate the fact that Focus on the Family is addressing these current challenges within the church and our young people instead of shying away from them. Awareness and educating others, on what those who struggle with this are thinking, is building a bridge for us to be able to truly love the sinner and not the sin. Compassion, love and understanding will take us way further than condemnation, hate, and alienating them.
I found her comment about our culture reaping the the results of teaching unbiblical gender differences as if they are “gospel”. I think that is something the church has yet to really understand. I think I really agree with this idea.
True
Yesssssssssssss
Thank you for this. As a mom with a daughter struggling this gives me hope. One thing I have seen over & over is so many in this struggle have been molested as young children. Let's understand that people have been so deeply wounded. Not an excuse for any sin but let's use knowledge with compassion. Let's be Jesus to all.
Even when she was young she lays claim to the fact that she knew the feelings were wrong because, ‘ the conscience speaks ‘
I love this woman she’s just gorgeous
She is saved that is more important
I may not your typical audience (59 year old former “fundy” but faithful follower of Jesus but I read (actually “consumed”) Jackie’s book last week. I read it to help me understand the struggles of those in the SSA community but I was consistently surprised at how she was used by the Holy Spirit to shine a light on areas in my life that I was not surrendering to Him. We ALL fight temptations of one kind or another and only with God’s help can we resist and walk in victory. Her book goes beyond her particular “issue” but speaks to the heart of all of our issues: Summed up in one word: unbelief. That one word on that one page struck a chord with me. Thank you Jackie for sharing your story and being such an ambassador for Christ for this time. I have a better understanding of how to communiicate, love, and pray for the LGBTQ community now. Praying you continue to stay strong in the Lord!
I never get tired of listening to her and her story 🙌🏽
Jackie is SO brave, committed to God's service and such a powerful voice for today-this world needs her!
One thing about Jackie, she's Deep ♥️
I love this so much. Jackie, your words are filled with patience, love and holy boldness. People need to be shown the beauty and love of Christ.
I never heard about Jackie until today. I was listening to some gospel music and this came across my feed. So glad I'm not too judgemental to see what was being talked about. Her testimony has truly been enlightening and uplifting. I'm reminded of a song that say, "Jesus will pick you up if HE has to reach way down!" Peace and blessings to you Jackie. Continue to tell of God's goodness....
A voice that needs to be heard so we're equipped as believers to continue to glorify Christ.
I believe women understand women in ways men do not understand women. This is not to slam anyone, it is simply that there are differences in how men and women think. I think this is sometimes part of the attraction when women have been hurt by men.
I wish everyone in the world could watch this
Please share it with others.
And now she's got a third little one on the way! ❤
and she is born weeks ago
Praise Jesus... hallelujah
And now a fourth! 😁
I don't like the way the questions are being phrased, like they're perfect and never sinned. She doing a great job of answering these condescending questions.
Yes. We must speak to people about His love and kindness.
“You just told me to obey without power.”
Holyyyy cow she said sooo many things that was RIGHT ON!!!! I GAVE my self to Christ for the billionth time. I'm fighting the same thing she did.... And boy it is such a shameful thing to speak about. Many go on feeling it's wrong and trying to change on their own (me). Sooooo many struggle with this.
“The power that he would give me so that I am able to obey” 🙌🏻 Woowwww!
This literally brought me to tears. Amazing testimony. The Church needs people like her and less of those who condemn others instead of trying to reach out and bring them to Christ. And I appreciate the sensitivity and insight of the Interviewers. Very refreshing. What she says about the rigid gender roles within the Church contributing to gender confusion, bang on. I've always felt this way.
Saw Jackie during my undergrad at Cal Baptist at their Chapel. Loved her story!!! Truly something everyone should hear!! 🧡🧡🧡
Love this breakdown. Thing my feel natural to our flesh, but not natural for our Spirit man. Brings me to a greater understanding that flesh is never right. Lean to the spirit only.
This was amazing! So insightful. We need to have more conversations about this topic in the church.
Have it in your home! At the diner table with friends.
Can you guys add captions to your videos? I would love to share this video series, but I have many Deaf friends on my social media accounts and I won't share something they can't have access to.
You can add captions. It’s at the top of the page where those 3 dots are vertical.
Tamara Lyons they’re not available
Tap on the video and the 3 dots will show up
@@dulcejocelyn7102 yes it. I just turned it on. Tap on the video it's a cc icon on the top right.
She has so much wisdom and honesty and courage. Love the way she expresses herself.
This interview left me wanting to hear more. It barely scratched the surface. Her voice and story is so needed for such a time as this.
Thank you Jackie and Focus. Jackie, you said a couple of things here that I have never heard you say before that were so helpful/revealing in my own journey of restoration. Bless u for being willing to be so candid.
I haven't listened to focus on the family since I was a young kid. What happened in the last 20 years?
@@KittredgeRitter what do you mean?
I secretly stalk all of Jackie's videos but while watching this one, I really resonated with the daddy issues. If you ever read this Jackie, I hope you write a book about daddy issues.
She is so eloquent and her words are like poetry
She actually is a poet lol. Her poetry(spoken words) are on CZcams.
Amazing testimony, touch hearts & minds Holy Spirit
jim daly was so prepared and so smooth with it... kudos to him. love Jackie!!
Absolutely love Jackie! I didn't even start watching yet but I had to comment. I'm happy she has received this opportunity and I look forward to the gems she will share.
This was an EXCELLENT conversation; thank you
Powerful and thank you for sharing your story with a hopeful praying mother that have 3 children dealing with this unclean spirit. So you have given me faith and hope to keep speaking God’s truth over their lives and so many others that I see in this world.
Thank you, Jim, Focus, for breaching this topic and help people to know Truth!
So blessed by this conversation 🙏🏿
Thank you for sharing your testimony. Parents need help addressing this topic with their children. Such different times we are living in these days.
Thank you to Focus on the Family and Jackie Hill Perry!
So important! Thank you Jackie!!
this was incredible!!! I learned so much.
This was such a great conversation.
Another, fantastic interview! Again the courage and honesty. Jesus is the GREATEST gift any of us have ever been given. Earthly Fatherhood is so critical. I know, even I struggled in learning what my Heavenly Father meant, how to relate and how to accept and understand Him.
Wow... Such a great conversation!
Wow, her conversations are always so powerful and eye opening. I have a new respect for her and her testimony
Fantastic interview.
She is FULL of wisdom 💙
Beautiful testimony Jackie❤. Thank you for sharing!
I Love listening and learning Truth. Thank you for having Jackie Hill Perry on your program.
Please pray for me over this topic
🙏🏽
Thank you Jackie, Blessings! Clear voices, Sanctification, Purity, your choices and your acceptance of Christ! I added your choices....
Great interview! Excellent conversation!
🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦Who is watching from SA and has a similar testimony??
Me
I just got here from here in south africa
I'm only five minutes in. Such wisdom. What she says about mercy in the beginning.... profound and powerful.
She makes a lot of sense. I appreciate this show asking people like Jackie to share their stories, instead of just preaching how to follow Jesus. These types of testimonials, and the excellent questions from the interviewers, are better than any sermon.
Jackie!!!!! 🔥 your testimony is for such a time as this!
The power of a testimony 😊
Loved this! ❤️
Every time I listen to her speak, I gain deeper insight to self and Jesus.
Love Jackie, so grateful for her life! 🙌🏾 our nation needs this
I am SO grateful to the Lord for Jackie, her life & her testimony. All glory to the Lord Jesus Christ!
Thank you for having her on.
Thank you Jackie🙏🏾
Praise God for your testimony Mrs. Perry
Bruh, powerful stuff!!!
Really been blessed by this
I love the point of looking at the Bible for gender roles. For example, Jacob loved the house while Esua loved the field. In today's society, Jacob would be considered a mamma's boy or soft while Esua would be considered manly nor more masculine. But they were both men.
I HAD NO IDEA!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR TOUGH LOVE!!
Thank you for this!!! I so wish that I saw this before. I've lost the respect and desire of my granddaughter through marriage, by failing to share a lovingJesus of the Bible before sharing the condemnations of her choices.
What a powerful message
I am very thankful for this discussion with Jackie. Jackie, you are a blessing to people who are struggling with the issues of lesbianism, and for everyone who needs to understand the truth and consequences of that choice. I thank the Lord for your salvation and your willingness to share your journey in life, and how Jesus transformed you into the godly woman you are now.
The Lord bless you your family! I am blessed to have heard your testimony. So real!
So grateful for you, Jackie!!✝️😊
I dońt know what Jackie means when she says being with a woman felt ´right´but that she also didn’t feel ‘peace’ when she was actively into lesbianism. I love her testimony and have her book which was great!
I love the point made about how Jesus empathised with everyone and made connections with people, and the mention of Romans 1 and 2 warning believers of the hypocracy in judging others.
This is what I needed, I have a lot in common with Jackie!
Powerful Testimony. Thank you Jackie :)
First time hearing about Jackie, love her confidence and her love for Christ
It really makes me understand so much more. I love the respect shown here
It really is all about Jesus, isn't it? He is the foundation and finisher of our faith. Modeling Christ and preaching Him to others- I really don't see who wouldn't fall in love with Him when they hear about Him. That love is what causes us to cleave to Him even though we are prone to wandering. It's that love that causes Him to sanctify us and prune us to conform to His image. It's all about Jesus!!
Shes awesome communicator. Pls pray for Jackie and others that they will be protected against envy etc. Pray for unbelievers too that they will experience God's supernatural love and that we as church won't feel envy as well i Jesus name amen 🙏
What a beautiful soul! Yah bless her.
Thank you Jackie!!!!
Such a great testimony!
