In today's episode, Becket Cook sits down with Carlos Qatari for one of the most powerful redemption stories you will ever hear.
From being sexually abused by family members between the ages of 5 and 12, to a life of extreme promiscuity, prostitution, and over 600 same-sex partners, Carlos spiraled into sex addiction and suicidal despair. After a radical encounter with Jesus through "The Passion of the Christ," years of legalism and failed attempts to change left him empty—until he fully surrendered his life and stopped obsessing over his attractions. What God did next was miraculous.
Today Carlos is happily married to a beautiful woman, a proud father of twins (with a third on the way), and living in complete freedom. This isn’t just a testimony—it’s a powerful message about true surrender, identity in Christ, forgiveness, and the renewal of the mind. Watch until the end.
