Ep 1230 | He Lived a Double Life as a Gay Man. Then Jesus Saved Him | Arch Kennedy
Relatable with Allie Beth Stuckey
Intro
This chapter explores the profound transformation of an openly gay man who finds faith and redemption later in life. It reflects on his upbringing, the influence of religion, and his mission to inspire others facing similar cultural challenges.
Today, we’re joined by Arch Kennedy, a former TV meteorologist who lived as an openly gay man for decades until participating in a Bible study transformed his life through the Holy Spirit’s conviction. Arch shares his powerful testimony of redemption, from wrestling with same-sex attraction and alcoholism to finding peace in Christ’s grace. We dive into his journey, the emptiness of the gay lifestyle, and how God’s word led him to embrace celibacy and purpose, offering hope to others seeking freedom in faith.
