Today, we sit down with Richard Matthews, a formerly gay influencer and speaker who was fired from his job after posting about his faith. Richard shares his testimony with us and how the Lord saved him from his sin, including his battle with a pornography addiction. Richard also tells us about how he was fired after posting about his faith and how he found his new identity in Christ after previously identifying as a gay man. We also talk about how the current LGBT community is trying to find identity in something false, when one's true identity comes from Christ alone. Richard's powerful story is a testament to God's love for His children.
