His testimony From Transgender to Transformed: Joshua McParland | The Jesus People Podcast Ep 77   Start your reset and get the Gratitude Reset book: https://books.thejesuspeoplemovement.com/   In Episode 67 of The Jesus People Podcast, Joshua McParland shares his powerful testimony of living as a transgender woman for seven years, pursuing hormones, cosmetic procedures, and gender transition, only to encounter Jesus Christ in a life-changing way that transformed everything. From childhood confusion and online influences to hormone treatments, breast implants, and a planned gender surgery, Joshua opens up about the reality of his journey and how an unexpected encounter with Jesus led him to abandon his transition, rediscover his God-given identity, and begin walking in freedom. This conversation explores identity, gender dysphoria, repentance, spiritual warfare, deliverance, grief, and the life-changing power of the gospel.   Key Highlights: • Growing up with gender confusion and dysphoria • The online influences that led to transition • Hormone blockers, estrogen, and cosmetic procedures • The reality behind transgender ideology • Losing his father and searching for identity • A supernatural encounter with Jesus • Deliverance, repentance, and spiritual freedom • Detransitioning and reclaiming his identity in Christ • How parents can respond to gender confusion • Hope for anyone battling shame, addiction, or confusion Joshua's story is ultimately not about politics or culture. It is about the transforming power of Jesus Christ and the freedom that comes from surrendering your life completely to Him.   For Christian life coaching rooted in identity in Christ If you are wrestling with sin, fear, addiction, pornography, confusion, or spiritual stagnation, you do not have to walk alone. Trusted coaches will guide you through Scripture, prayer, and practical steps toward freedom and purpose. https://www.sharethestruggle.org/coaching-rm   Follow and stay connected: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ryan_miller/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@dudewithgoodnews Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/dudewithgoodnews/ Website and coaching: https://www.sharethestruggle.org/coaching-rm Email: podcast@thejesuspeoplemovement.org   Listen now on your favorite platforms: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0RLKmkUpydJr2y84tqQekp?si=8768039f3f5f4e38 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jesus-people-podcast/id1768632876 Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/dac27441-bed6-4d73-9246-d2dbe93dccf0/jesus-people-podcast               #JoshuaMcParland #Detransition #TransgenderTestimony #GenderDysphoria #JesusPeoplePodcast #ChristianTestimony #BornAgain #Deliverance #IdentityInChrist #JesusSaves #Faith #Repentance #Gospel
