Laura Perry joins Amber to discuss living as a transgender male for 10 years, her life leading up to the transition, and the transformation she experienced through the Word of God, Jesus, and the faithful prayers of her mother.
Questions Laura and I Discuss:- (2:13) What was life like for you as a young girl? Did you grow up with Christian parents? Did you fit in at school?
- (5:38) At age 8 you were molested and that only compounded your feelings of wanting to be a boy. How so?
- (6:55) What was your relationship like with your parents during your teen and young adult years?
- (15:23) By 2008, you had began transitioning to a man. What measures did you take?
- (22:15) You were fully living as a transgender male, but you realized all the physical change had not made you happy. What was going on internally during those years?
- .......
"I grew up with this just real identity crisis, not knowing who I was, not feeling like I fit in."
"[Y]ou hear that you're wonderfully made. If that's true, then God's a jerk. That's how I began to view God. He did this just to make me miserable."
"I wanted to be the opposite of a Christian, whatever that was."
"[A] lot of times we get so focused on whatever sin they're involved in and we think that's the problem, but the problem is so much deeper. In every story I've ever heard, there's always a reason that they turn to these sinful lifestyles, and most of the time, it's a distorted view of God. They feel like God has failed them, or they don't trust God, or if God is good, why did He do this? or Why did He allow this, and that's common across every story that I hear."
"When we hang on to bitterness and unforgiveness and resentment, it leads to defilement and fornication because we start trying to gratify our flesh, rather than dealing with all the pain that's inside." [based on reading from Hebrews 12:15-16]
"I began to get very, very deep into sexual sin, trying so hard to fix the brokenness in me by just satisfying the flesh."
"I wanted to be a man, but I didn't know there was anything I could do about it. I had never heard the word transgender."

- (15:00) You’ve said identity is something you’ve wrestled with throughout your life. As a 19 year old boy relearning to do everything, how would you describe that wrestling?

“My hands are behind my head. Kyle accidentally hits the bottom of the river….the chair broke, I flew backwards, hit my head on the front of the boat and instantly broke my neck at the C6/7 level.”
” ‘Joe, you’ve sustained a spinal cord injury and we need to medflight you up to the bigger hospital to have surgery.’ And that’s when life drastically changed.”
“And really what had transpired was that verse on my wall [Proverbs 3:5-6], started to change my heart.”
“It took me a long time to realize that my miracle was choosing to get in the chair.”
“My miracle was a spiritual transformation that was taking place by giving my heart to Jesus.”
“My success isn’t defined by a gold medal. It’s defined by a permanent victory in Jesus.”

Rebecca (Becky) joins me to discuss sharing the faith you live in a post-Christian world, celebrating God's power in our weakness, and asking good questions like Jesus.
Questions Becky and I Discuss:-
(9:23) When did you begin walking with Jesus? Briefly share a bit of your faith journey with us.
-
(16:20) Let's go back to when you first released your best-selling book Out of the Saltshaker, what did you hope a book on evangelism would accomplish 40 years ago?
-
(22:39) Forty years later you decided to write a new book on evangelism: Stay Salt: The World Has Changed your Message Must Not. Why?
-
(26:21 and 37:25) What I found helpful in Stay Salt is that you write not only about how the world has changed, but you address how to deal with our feelings of inadequacy, lack of confidence, and knowledge. What are some ways you encourage Christians to overcome those feelings when sharing about Jesus in our post-Christian world?
-
(37:25) Can you share with us how to bring up in the subject of faith in our conversations without sounding pushy or intrusive?
- (41:36) How do we move from a natural conversation, a normal conversation to a spiritual one? (continuation of #5)
"The way He [Jesus] communicated the gospel was tied to the person, tied to their longings. He never treated anyone like an evangelistic project."
"Biblical evangelism is threefold.....
"So what's changed? We have been living in a world and particularly in the West, that is dominated by what I call the lethal distortions of post modernity. And that wasn't true when I wrote Out of the Salt Shaker. What do I mean by the lethal distortions, [of post modernity]? The collapse of absolute truth."
"We're not the Creator, we are God dependent. We are not self sufficient. God doesn't send us out empty handed. He's provided everything we need for witness through the power of the Holy Spirit, the power of the truth of the gospel, the power of Jesus love. But not only that, He is delighted to reveal His glory, through human weakness."
"One of the underlying themes of all of Scripture: God reveals His glory through human weakness."
"Where we need to begin in evangelism is, celebrate our smallness, and then lean on the power of the Holy Spirit."
"When we're talking to somebody, how often we think, what if I don't have the right answer? What if I'm not clever enough? What if I can't do that? That's not the point. It is that we have another who dwells within us. We've got to start learning how to lean on the Spirit. We may very well not be great evangelists. But you see, it isn't self confidence that we need. It's God confidence."
