In today’s episode, Becket Cook sits down with Jay Dios, who shares his powerful testimony of growing up in a conservative Christian home, struggling with pornography and same-sex attraction from a young age, entering a same-sex marriage, and ultimately experiencing a radical transformation through Jesus Christ. Jay opens up about deconstructing his faith, embracing affirming theology, reading God and the Gay Christian, and even meeting Matthew Vines in person—before God revealed the truth that led him to repentance, freedom, and surrender.

Jay explains what ultimately compelled him to divorce his husband, how Scripture reclaimed authority in his life, and why faithfulness to God—not identity or desire—became the turning point. Now rooted at Passion City Church, Jay reflects on obedience, contentment, sanctification, and living for eternity rather than cultural approval.

This conversation is for anyone wrestling with faith and sexuality, confused by affirming theology, or seeking clarity on biblical truth, repentance, and redemption through Jesus Christ.
