In today's episode, Becket Cook interviews Bryan about his powerful Christian testimony of leaving same-sex attraction and a same-sex marriage after a life-changing cancer diagnosis. Raised in a Christian home, Bryan experienced early same-sex attraction, came out as gay in high school, and walked away from the faith in bitterness by his early twenties before marrying a man in the UK.

At age 30, while facing acute lymphoblastic leukemia, Bryan asked for a Bible in the hospital, read Romans 1, and fully surrendered his life to Christ—leading him to leave the relationship, return to California, and find lasting healing and faith through the gospel. Now over two years cancer-free after a bone marrow transplant and actively involved in a local church, Bryan shares how God's grace transformed his identity, restored his relationship with the Lord, and turned deep trials into a story of redemption and hope.
