From Addiction & Homosexuality to Freedom in Christ: Adonis’ Testimony

Published 6 days ago

In this powerful episode, Adonis shares his raw and honest testimony of living a secret double life for over ten years. Growing up in the church while carrying the grief of losing his father at age nine, Adonis felt trapped in a world of performance-based acceptance, struggle with identity, pornography, drugs, alcohol, and secret hookups.
After surviving a dangerous drug overdose at a rave in Seattle, Adonis reached a critical turning point. On May 17, 2014, God met him right where he was and spoke words that changed the trajectory of his life forever.
Tune in to hear how counseling, inner healing, and the unconditional love of God brought Adonis out of hiding and into true redemption—where he now serves young men struggling with the very things he once felt trapped by.
