If you just click on the link above, it should be fine.  In today's episode, Becket Cook interviews Richard Matthews about his viral TikTok video detailing how he was fired from his New York City job for posting Christian content and sharing his testimony of being rescued by God from homosexuality during Pride Month. Matthews recounts growing up in a single-parent home in Georgia without a father figure, facing bullying, discovering same-sex attraction through early internet pornography, battling porn addiction, depression, and anxiety, and ultimately choosing to fully follow Jesus after years of struggle with the gay lifestyle and "gay Christian" ideas. Richard describes his powerful rooftop encounter with God, the freedom found in Scripture and community at V1 Church, the launch of Redeemption Ministries, and how authenticity about leaving same-sex attraction has opened doors for digital evangelism, podcasts, and equipping the church on biblical sexuality and the gospel. https://youtube.com/@richwithpassion?si=NOGKsPuHZP4wjtjp https://www.therichardmatthews.com The Becket Cook Show Ep. 251 Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.
