In today's episode, Becket Cook sits down with Spencer Boliou, a singer-songwriter who shares his journey of growing up in a Christian family in Boise, Idaho, navigating same-sex attraction rooted in gender insecurity and envy, and discovering genuine faith through a transformative prayer experience at 17. Spencer recounts how Side B theology initially helped him but ultimately limited his growth by encouraging a gay Christian identity, until a pivotal conversation with a mentor named Jim helped him release that framework, address the roots of his attractions, and experience real change—including opposite-sex attraction and openness to marriage.
Spencer also performs an original song about surrendering everything to Jesus, and the episode closes with encouragement for viewers near the channel’s 200,000-subscriber milestone.
