Episode notes
Radical Encounter In The Woods
- Neeza describes a radical encounter with Jesus in the Vermont woods that transformed her identity after living as Nicole for over a decade.
- She says Jesus made her aware that living as Nicole was a conscious sin and she laid that life down to follow Christ.

- He clarifies forgiveness is relinquishing the right to vengeance while justice can still be pursued.
