I was never trans, but share so much of the same history. My sister started sexually abusing me at age 8 while my dad physically and mentally abused me. I eventually ran away from home. Got into a relationship with a much older sexual predator, escaped that and then completely rejected Christ. Many years later I got saved, now I am married and a mom of two boys, and always humble and greatful for God's enduring grace.
I’m so sorry that you went through so much hurt and I am so happy that Jesus Christ has brought you into His redemption and I love you!❤ God bless you❤
I love how she still honors her mother, even when talking about her journey and how her mom unintentionally caused her pain. That shows true maturity and healing from God. 💜
She was in the Focus on the Family a few years ago. She also was on a panel discussing Christianity with a transgender. The trans considered himself a Christian but Laura was so nice and bold to discuss that. God makes no mistakes.
"The trans"? That's not how you talk about people. I think "the trans" was more composed than Laura who may have been more right but she was quite preachy and did not get through to "the trans" that way i.m.o.
I met Laura while checking her in at a hotel I worked at. She was going to visit a local church the next day to speak. I never forgot her. It was at a Holiday Inn and I was in college. I never struggled with LGBTQ identities, but what stuck out to me was her conviction and clear sensitivity to Holy Spirit. It was the first time I met someone who detransitioned. She sent me her testimony on UA-cam and I showed it in my Youth group at church the next Sunday. It was powerful.
Thank you for sharing this story of Laura. My oldest son became trans right during Covid. So thankful that there is hope in Jesus. The battle belongs to the Lord, Do not fear as Exodus 14;14 says "The LORD himself will fight for you. Just stay calm.” Your podcast is helping me remember God brings redemption and stay calm!
The Lord gave me the exact same message about my daughter who believes she is trans, except mine was from 2 Chronicles 20:15: “Do not be afraid or discouraged…for the battle is not yours but God’s.” He is working in all of this!
There is another testament of Jesus Christ! Jesus Christ visited an ancient civilization soon after his resurrection. 3 Nephi 11! Seek out Jesus Christ!
My Mimi (grandmother) is friends with this woman’s mother. She was one of the many friends who prayed fervently over Laura. I remember her telling me about her and her desire to transition. Once I found out about Laura deciding to not transition and having a testimony I was so happy.
Ooof, this one is tough to listen to. A few months ago I found out that the daughter of one of my mom group friends (from when my own daughter was a baby) finally took her own life after struggling with depression since childhood. I told hubby that it was heartbreaking but not surprising. Watching this young woman grow up was like watching a slow moving train wreck that you are helpless to prevent. She was a teenager during the time that the tr@ns movement really took off and became popular, and she latched onto it wholeheartedly as the solution she thought she had been looking for, but like Laura the more she was "accepted" and "affirmed" under her new identity (even by her family - they were just so desperate to make her happy they went along with everything), the more depressed she became when it still wasn't enough. 💔 Peace with God is the ONLY true solution.
"But we all, with unveiled faces, beholding as in a mirror, the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, Just As, by the Spirit of the Lord"
This gives me so much hope for my best friend. We’ve known each other since we were little and she started her transition in college. It’s so hard seeing the girl you grew up with and promised to be each others bridesmaids turn into a “man”. She’s not even happy. She’s miserable and angry and constantly abusing drugs. Praying she wakes up.
I first heard Laura’s testimony one day when I was driving to take my friend’s son to a supervised visit with his possible biological dad. I was scanning radio stations and stopped when I heard her talking. I’ve never had issues with my gender but I felt like her testimony touched my heart and showed me how miraculous the gospel and the love of our Lord is.
His name is on the birth certificate but his mom isn’t sure if he’s the father or if it was another guy. CPS won’t pay for a paternity test unless they are terminating rights, but since his name is on the birth certificate they treat him as the father and allow visitation, even if the person is on drugs and doesn’t do anything to take care of or support their child
That's a load of nonsense. How does he even know if he's the father? What kind of lifestyle was the woman living for there to even be candidates? And let's say he's at fault. Did he start doing drugs before or after the child was conceived? I think the promiscuous mother is at greater fault from the beginning.
The mom and dad both have a long history of addictions. They both weren’t living how they should. By the grace of God the mom went to rehab and has been sober for several months and followed all the requirements she was given and is doing better. The possible father has not chosen the same route and has decided to continue to not live how he should.
This program helps me to better understand why people go in this direction. I'm a Christian man, and I've never really understood "why" many men & women become transgender or homosexual ! This is helping me to understand the reasons this happens. I want to have more compassion in my walk with Jesus, so this is a very important program to get a better understanding of how to help people who go in this direction.
My 13 year old has been “gender confused” for three years. Reading Laura’s book was extremely difficult and stomach turning for me (thinking of my child doing some of the same things). I pray that she finds the right path. Her dad and I have her in so many groups and therapies and nothing is helping.
You may want to takes away devices and screens in general for awhile and see if that helps. If she's on tiktok and intagram the trans/LGBT short videos are almost every other video. Spend time with her without screens and do things she enjoys and ask her what makes her feel loved and special. I'm not saying these will heal her but it may be a step in the right direction.
Thank you so much for this. Laura is so good at explaining what lead up to her decision to transition. I've heard other detransition stories but this one made so much sense. I have one child who started the process of transitioning and thankfully has not continued past the hormone stage. I'm praying for her salvation every day along with my second child who is a lesbian, as well as my oldest child's boyfriend's salvation. Anyone reading this, I would love for you to help me pray my prodigals back home. Also, please pray for protection for my younger three children who are still at home and dealing with the confusion of watching their beloved older siblings going through this.
Dear Lord Jesus, I thank you so much that we're over two or more are gathered in your name they are you in our midst. This Godly mom is setting a standard and drawing a boundary for her children and in the spiritual realm she is fighting the forces of evil trying to take these young people down. Lord Jesus please send Warren guardian angels to continue her fight with her and an even more powerful way, and we pray that each of them would surrender to you in the name of Yeshua our Lord and savior the name above all names. We pray that they would act on your truth in the word of God and not doubt it would believe it
Praying with you that Our Father will bring them to Repentance. We all have a prodigal because the Enemy has come to steal, kill and destroy. But Our Redeemer defeated the Devil and Death and we're believing GOD that He will ultimately saved our children for HIS GLORY. We must persevere in FAITH 👏 🙌🏾 👏 🙌🏾 👏 🙌🏾 👏
Yes!!! We declare by the mighty blood and authority of Jesus that the prodigals will come home, the enemy will not prevail and we send the angles to go out and get them and rip them from the enemy’s grasp and bring them into fathers arms and home.
She speaks so eloquently and stirred so much compassion in me for the type of pain that people are experiencing which is driving them to physical mutilation.
I admire Laura’s ability to be vulnerable. It can’t be easy to share the darkness of her past. She is lighting the path for others to be delivered and giving God the glory. Very powerful!
Girl, I relate to you so much! I have never had a gender identity issue, but I was a drug addict for 14 years, and that whole time I was just running away from deep-seated pain and looking for love and answers in all the wrong places. The more I did drugs, the more dysfunctional my life became, and the more I felt desperate and broken. Praise Jesus for His grace and mercy because He is the answer that I never knew I was looking for. He entered my life and completely changed me around. Pretty much instantly my addictions were gone, and He set me on a straight and narrow path. I haven't left His side since. I've been born again and sober for 6 years now and I have a beautiful 5-year-old daughter who is the absolute love of my life. My life has been completely changed in ways I can't even describe. I went from drugs, sex, misery, and brokenness to a fulfilling life with Jesus by my side. I am just finishing my first year of nursing school and I even plan on going back and getting my doctorate once I graduate. God is SO, SO good and He is faithful and True with His promises! I would never live another minute of my life without being surrendered to Jesus. Praise God for the work He has done in your life, too... His Grace is enough!
As a woman with endometriosis and lost my organs to disease and the difficulty it is not just the disease but losing my female organs, i cant imagine how difficult it is to process and reconcile with yourself and God. I had to walk a ling road with this after needed surgeries to save my life and other irgans and losing part of myself too. There is healing and reconciliation. Its not the female organs or hormones or appearing but something much deeper that makes us women. Not only are these women still women but so are the millions who have disease like endometriosis or are infertile or have breast cancer. Nothing is going to change that and its ok even with life, cancer, disease, surgeries its ok and you can still be everything God call you to be as a women. I myself have some children i gave birth to but also adopted children too. I still have to remind myself to embrace the feminine. Our organs are more tgan for babies, our health and identity get tied up in it. But truly our identity is in Christ. Not sex, not organs, not scars, even our sins are not our identity when we are in Christ. No pain here, no scars here will ever separate u from God when you believe truly in the saving grace of Christ. This life is but vapor. The real world is spiritual not physical and our physical does impact the spiritual but absolutely nothing is beyond the redeeming blood of Jesus. My children especially my oldest went through alot because of my disease, i was in pain and sick most of her life. Only last few years after my 5th surgery that things started to get better for my health and even as parents its hard to except it afterwards. I am stronger in Christ now and know how to manage the physical illness and pain much better and good times or bad times we can always grow more to be like Jesus
I am adopted, which naturally leaves a hole in your identity and is a rejection that leaves you searching for acceptance and belonging. All the men in my life eventually failed me… my dad, my pastor, my husband, etc. I became very sexually promiscuous looking for male affirmation. My identity was tied into these relationships. It was not until I took all the men off the pedestal and put Jesus Christ alone on the pedestal, and understood who my identity in Christ is, that everything fell into place. I believe for many gender and sexually confused, finding their identity in Christ instead of in their gender or sexual orientation is the only true path to healing.
My brother is transitioning to a trans woman. We call him by his chosen name, but have said we will never call him by his preferred pronouns. He loves getting together with us still, and goes to church and Sunday school with his wife and with my husband and I.. I’m praying that not all is lost and he finds the answers. Thank you for a great discussion and revealing yourself!!
Just trying to help. His situation may possibly be a sexual fetish. Look up the definition of Autogynephilia, or AGP for short. Autogynephiles are not transgender, they meet the old definition of a cross dressers, or what we use to call 'transexuals'. God can heal this too.
@@rodb66 yes, shes all for it. He just got caught in church yesterday going to the womens bathroom. My husband is on the security team. The deacons had to go to his house and tell him that he cannot go in womens restrooms, but they do have unisex toilets he can use. He said he just won’t go to church. But if he ever goes in the woman’s restroom again, he will have to be kicked out of the church
@@maverickspirit208 I won’t be talking to him about his sexual fetishes haha but I thank you for the help!! I’m sure theirs underlying issues with it, I don’t believe in this whole I’m a woman thing. Frankly, it’s insulting to me as a mother
@@judgejhf7848 I'm surprised that the church is allowing the blatant disrespect. The trans activists and advocates are really getting greedy thinking that everyone is accepts their ideology. I'm surprised that his wife accepts it. I was more compassionate on trans until I woke up how they're trying to ease some people in submission. First, we honor their preferred pronouns and next men are being allowed in women's spaces under the guise of being trans. I pray that you're brother and his wife can be delivered from the Devil's clutches. Thanks for your response.
I just wanted to say that I'm totally blind and you are such a beautiful person inside and out! I love you! You radiate so much peace and love! Just from your voice!
Wow. I can relate to so much of her story. I didn't go through a transition process because it wasn't a thing when I was young. I wanted to be a boy so badly because that is what my parents wanted. I took on male personas as a young girl. I was definitely a Tom boy, dressed like one and still do to some extent. I had crushes on girls but I never acted on any of it. 🙏 I messed up in other areas big time. I am still healing from it. God is good.
I’ve never wanted to be a boy but a lot of her childhood story I can relate to! Thank you this has helped me. What an amazing testimony, so happy she’s with the Lord. She’s so well spoken and has an amazing spirit. I know so much more is going to come for her as well!
I can so relate to a lot of her story! I wanted to be a boy too! Boys had power, but I also knew what the Bible taught so I was between a rock and a hard place! Then I decided to trust God and my faith grew and now am comfortable with myself and am glad God made me the way he did!
Laura's testimony is so incredibly powerful. All people who are struggling with these kinds of issues should hear her story. There should be identity crisis centers like the pregnancy crisis centers, which could offer counseling and support. A safe place where people could go to just discuss the difficulties they are struggling with, with people like Laura who have already traveled the path before them.She brought up so many things I never even imagined that people have to deal with when they choose transgenderism, such as changing their history to match their new gender identity. What is so frightening, is the medical industry which so quickly prescribes hormones and surgery without even counseling. Such life altering decisions are made so casually. My heart goes out to everyone who doesn't know the Saviour and are confused about their identity.
Our stories as prodigals take a lot of forms. None worse than the other. All had us squarely at odds with a Holy God. "May the Lamb that was Slain receive the reward for His suffering."
All the pieces are in your guest's story for her child's heart to feel rejected and then reject her own identity. Its always heartbreaking. It's also transformative for her gospel understanding of her mom's stress. I like how she reminds us parents are sinners and children have a sinners perception of parent's relationship with them.
I used to watch true life: I have OCD on MTV as a kid. After a while, I started picking up those behaviors. I remember thinking my mom would notice and realize something was wrong with me. Although nothing was wrong with me I just needed more attention from my parents.
She went on a wild ride left astray by the devil. But God's love and grace brought this prodigal home. Praise God for his mercy. And now she is saved and serves Jesus to help others. Amazing testimony
Just 6 minutes in and omg the level of grace Laura that you talk about your mother even though she hurt you, is incredible and literally only Holy Spirit can do that with you working with Him.
I'm so glad that these stories are coming out because this is my story too. I never transitioned but I considered myself bisexual for many years after being groomed by my best friend and her big sister growing up. All the feelings of not being a good enough girl and that being reinforced with a polycystic ovarian syndrome diagnosis and boys never liking me because I wasn't girly enough. Of course now I have found the truth in Christ and I'm engaged with a child on the way (I know that's the backwards order but that's how it worked out). I'm very grateful that I didn't believe the lies that I was somehow less of a woman because of my wounds
There is a child in my daughter’s school who identifies as a cat. My daughter told me that the school allows her to bring a litter box to school. So crazy to hear that it’s happening a lot.
I got saved by Jesus 4 months ago. Before Jesus i called myself bisexual and all my friends were lgbtq people. I was pro-choice, i didn’t belive in sin, etc etc. Jesus has now opened my eyes witch im so grateful for! Now i understand what sin is, i understand that abortion is a disturbing thing and i no longer feel attraction to women. Im so glad that Jesus showed me the truth. But, i still have these lgbtq friends around me. (Im now blessed with sisters in Christ witch im so grateful for.. but i still have contact with my old friends because i want to show them the light of the Lord). Two of my friends are gay and transexual. And my friend is now going trough that ”transformation” and i just want to tell him that this is not the way, he will not be happy after he is done with the ”medicin” and the surgeries. Same wirh my bestfriend who is gay, he tells me all the guys he’s being with and how bad he feels about it. And i just want to scream the name JESUS! Ofc i pray for them and pray that they will come to Jesus. But its sp hard with lgbtq people. They have so much hate towards us followers of Jesus and they have already asked me alot of rude questions to try to put me against the wall. They want to see if im now homophobic and transphobic. Its so sad that you will be canceled if you just want to help them.. Anyone experience this? God bless you all 🤍
They hate the truth, not you, because you're representing the Truth who is JESUS, and His Word convicts their consciences because they know the truth. Jesus said if they hate you, know that they hated me also. No one is greater than his Master. You can love them by sharing the truth, however you need boundaries in these relationships. You can no longer allow the male friends to share all of their intimate details and just hanging out with all your lgbt friends. You have to have purpose in your conversations of leading them to Jesus. He came to save them and you and now He wants to use you as a conduit and a lightof God's redeeming and transforming power . 🙏🏾 🙏🏾 🙏🏾
Fav episode so far! Laura really explains her journey well. Allie you listen & ask great questions in timely fashion. Looking forward to episode 2. One question came up in my mind…when Laura went to the “boot camp” and they tried to press her into being a Christian…were they well equipped with knowledge on how to handle this issue. Seems to me anyone in key role as instructors/therapists really need to know & understand what they r dealing with.
Leave it all behind and come to The Well. ❤️ Nothing else will satisfy except Christ alone - living water that quenches the thirst that keeps us always searching for something more.
Laura has a striking level of insight. What’s more, is her ability to forgive. That relieves such a big, huge Santa Claus kind of bag full of hurt, pain and dispair. To offload all that pain & suffering… so, so valuable. Laura seems like “a real keeper”. So much depth of character is so evident. God is gonna keep right on seeing His work, and sculpting her life. PTL 👍🏼👍🏼
My oldest beautiful grandaughter very recently told me that she is Trans........ I simply believe JESUS LOVES HER and do I~~~ I believe this has manifested because of childhood trauma.... Thank you for being so open and honest, surrendering ALL TO JESUS!
Always in prayer for the lost🙏🙏🙏 I have a niece whom I love very. Always wanted to be a boy😩 She is now married to a woman (whom I feel the presence of evil every time is she comes around) All I can do is pray for both of them 🙏🙏🙏
Amazing, amazing, amazing. We give God all the praise and the thanks, the glory and the honour for every grace He has poured out in the heart, consciousness and spirit of Laura. A brutally honest and realistic testimony, a side we don't hear very often. God bless you both. Thank u Allie for ur platform.
Gosh.. Praise God! I am not a trans but i understand her. I was raped 3 times and i gave myself to everyone after that, (sex) I was destroying myself even more. I had no value, did drugs, got drunk every weekend. Tried suicide, i cut myself. Everything.. Abuse is not so much about our bodies, it's mental. I am so happy that God changed her. I think all transgender people have mental issues, they need Jesus. Like i need Jesus, not everyday is a good day, depressed from time to time but i keep trying and showing up for God.
Wow, God made it so that you wouldn’t even be able to tell that she’s been through hormones and procedures. She looks absolutely beautiful! God bless you! ❤️
Hallelujah!!! Once a bi-guy who forgot he had been molested and upon knowing the Lord Jesus, all was revealed and the call to repent and submit led to me dying to self and seeing the Holy Spirit change me and is still sanctifying me and making me ready for His coming. Now, I get to work in His harvest and see Him rescue others from the devil's deceptive attacks. ❤
Powerful testimony for all to hear! Very relatable and such truth! Satan can send us down a path of destruction very easily using our parents wounds and shortcomings, our innocence and curiosity. He doesn't let up. St. Michael, the Archangel Protect us in battle!
I've NEVER thought of myself as a female. Never played with dolls my mom said, I always played with cars, don't remember much of my child hood. Never did anything or wore anything that a girl would do or wear unless I was made bc of church. My mom would also say I carried myself like my dad, walked liked him etc. I'm 57 and still don't feel like a female even tho I do look like a female.
Wonderful interview, thanks for backtracking at around 27mins, I was wanting some of the details to be fleshed out of how she jumped to hormone treatment and surgery.
At about the 29 to 30 min mark they ask what other diagnosis can a patient tell a Dr what style of treatment they want and that they’d never seen the ability of a patient to make that choice but I’m in the medical profession and in truth it happens all the time. Just off the top of my head we saw it in how we prescribe and have and do administer pain medication for years. Just because you are a Dr or medical professional doesn’t mean you have the last say. Insurance companies determine where and how we are to treat. Many times we want to say No but our hands were tied long ago. How we deal with the LGBTQ+ community and their desires to transform makes money for insurers and because of this medical professionals were told what they could do and what they couldn’t do with treatment
I'm a born again Christian who Met Jesus after enduring years of significant trauma. Listening to this is painful. I can see how the way traditional Christians think and communicate causes so much complexity around emotions. So much guilt around anger, bitterness, sin etc it doesn't allow a safe space for children to fully move through and express their emotions without suppressing, drowning in guilt or shame. A lot of these beliefs are not rooted in God at all. They are misinterpreted and it feels very painful. I can see the inner turmoil and complex trauma. But in order to truly heal we have to be allowed to feel. God healed me from so much and thought me his way. Some of this really isn't it. The belief that God is perfect, he created me perfect, he doesn't make mistakes is a very misguided statement that I believe many Christians use and similar blanket statements that again don't allow for you to feel bad about your circumstances. Can I just say it is completely normal for you to feel hurt and angry that someone molested you or cause you were neglected in some ways due to your mom's complex illness. I healed from fibromyalgia BTW so I get it and other auto immune issues. The christian community needs to allow people to FEEL and to not just accept everything because that is suppression and causes disease. Anyway I wish you luck, peace and healing ❤❤
A very interesting life journey. Thank you and God bless you both. P.s. I've had NO idea whatsoever that diaper companies support abortion, that's so crazy!😮
The one complaint I have is with how often Allie interrupted her guest. Sometimes Laura wouldn’t be able to get more than two words out before she got cut off. Would prefer seeing a video where Laura is given free reign to tell her story in her own way.
Dear Allie, thankyou for your videos. I am wondering whether you consider yourself a True Conservative Christian, or a progressive Christian who you acknowledge to be more loving & caring , or a mixture of both ?
I was never trans, but share so much of the same history. My sister started sexually abusing me at age 8 while my dad physically and mentally abused me. I eventually ran away from home. Got into a relationship with a much older sexual predator, escaped that and then completely rejected Christ. Many years later I got saved, now I am married and a mom of two boys, and always humble and greatful for God's enduring grace.
God is so good. You are loved! Praise Him for He brings us relief from this unclean world
Lots of love 💚🌻
I’m so sorry that you went through so much hurt and I am so happy that Jesus Christ has brought you into His redemption and I love you!❤ God bless you❤
Beauty of Christ rising through your testimony. Always be encouraged to share this, you never know who you were bless!!
Ugh im so happy for you bby, keep growing in Gods love. He’s foreverrrrr faithful, God bless❤️❤️
Laura’s testimony is one of the reasons why I have not lost hope about my child coming out of this hot mess
may the Lord guide your child home 🤍
I feel the same way. With God there's always hope for our children.
@@karenjohnson5462 amen 🙏🏻
My hope is in this too with my teenage daughter. Such a tough journey for our kids and us as parents.
@@thewanderingfaith go elsewhere with your narcissistic comment
I love how she still honors her mother, even when talking about her journey and how her mom unintentionally caused her pain. That shows true maturity and healing from God. 💜
Laura is one of my dearest friends. Such an honor to have her as a sister. I love her SO much! Love seeing what Jesus is doing in her life
I am hoping Laura will come on my brand new podcast 'Come to Jesus" where people tell their extraordinary experience of coming to Christ.
She was in the Focus on the Family a few years ago. She also was on a panel discussing Christianity with a transgender. The trans considered himself a Christian but Laura was so nice and bold to discuss that. God makes no mistakes.
I watched that discussion so many times. Laura was so gracious
She is on the movie "In His Image" which is where I was introduced to her story. Her testimony gives me so much hope.
"The trans"? That's not how you talk about people. I think "the trans" was more composed than Laura who may have been more right but she was quite preachy and did not get through to "the trans" that way i.m.o.
I met Laura while checking her in at a hotel I worked at. She was going to visit a local church the next day to speak. I never forgot her. It was at a Holiday Inn and I was in college. I never struggled with LGBTQ identities, but what stuck out to me was her conviction and clear sensitivity to Holy Spirit. It was the first time I met someone who detransitioned.

Warm greetings from Australia 🦘 Fantastic feedback. Keep up the good work. Laura is brave and amazing.
Blessing 🙏 from DuuuuuuvvvvvvvvaaaaaLLLLLLLL county jax fl USA ❤
Thank you for sharing this story of Laura. My oldest son became trans right during Covid. So thankful that there is hope in Jesus. The battle belongs to the Lord, Do not fear as Exodus 14;14 says "The LORD himself will fight for you. Just stay calm.” Your podcast is helping me remember God brings redemption and stay calm!
Yes! I stand in agreement. You may find Karen Wheaton helpful during this wait ❤
The Lord gave me the exact same message about my daughter who believes she is trans, except mine was from 2 Chronicles 20:15: “Do not be afraid or discouraged…for the battle is not yours but God’s.” He is working in all of this!
That's our son. During COVID.
Praying that your child remembers that he is a son, and that God gives you the serenity and strength to keep going.
There is another testament of Jesus Christ! Jesus Christ visited an ancient civilization soon after his resurrection. 3 Nephi 11! Seek out Jesus Christ!
This woman is so gracious and well-spoken. One of my favorite interviews you’ve ever done, Allie!
My Mimi (grandmother) is friends with this woman’s mother. She was one of the many friends who prayed fervently over Laura. I remember her telling me about her and her desire to transition. Once I found out about Laura deciding to not transition and having a testimony I was so happy.
Amen!
Ooof, this one is tough to listen to. A few months ago I found out that the daughter of one of my mom group friends (from when my own daughter was a baby) finally took her own life after struggling with depression since childhood. I told hubby that it was heartbreaking but not surprising. Watching this young woman grow up was like watching a slow moving train wreck that you are helpless to prevent.

"But we all, with unveiled faces, beholding as in a mirror, the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, Just As, by the Spirit of the Lord"
Bless you forever Laura for your bravery and love of the Lord.
This gives me so much hope for my best friend. We’ve known each other since we were little and she started her transition in college. It’s so hard seeing the girl you grew up with and promised to be each others bridesmaids turn into a “man”. She’s not even happy. She’s miserable and angry and constantly abusing drugs. Praying she wakes up.
I’m friends with Laura! She’s amazing
Laura seems to have such a nice personality - God's blessings and grace on you Sister.
I first heard Laura’s testimony one day when I was driving to take my friend’s son to a supervised visit with his possible biological dad. I was scanning radio stations and stopped when I heard her talking. I’ve never had issues with my gender but I felt like her testimony touched my heart and showed me how miraculous the gospel and the love of our Lord is.
❤❤❤
Possible biological dad?
His name is on the birth certificate but his mom isn’t sure if he’s the father or if it was another guy. CPS won’t pay for a paternity test unless they are terminating rights, but since his name is on the birth certificate they treat him as the father and allow visitation, even if the person is on drugs and doesn’t do anything to take care of or support their child
That's a load of nonsense. How does he even know if he's the father? What kind of lifestyle was the woman living for there to even be candidates? And let's say he's at fault. Did he start doing drugs before or after the child was conceived? I think the promiscuous mother is at greater fault from the beginning.
The mom and dad both have a long history of addictions. They both weren’t living how they should. By the grace of God the mom went to rehab and has been sober for several months and followed all the requirements she was given and is doing better. The possible father has not chosen the same route and has decided to continue to not live how he should.
This program helps me to better understand why people go in this direction. I'm a Christian man, and I've never really understood "why" many men & women become transgender or homosexual ! This is helping me to understand the reasons this happens. I want to have more compassion in my walk with Jesus, so this is a very important program to get a better understanding of how to help people who go in this direction.
Ummm 🧐 we can have basic kindness for people while still not 🚫 going against God ❤
My 13 year old has been “gender confused” for three years. Reading Laura’s book was extremely difficult and stomach turning for me (thinking of my child doing some of the same things). I pray that she finds the right path. Her dad and I have her in so many groups and therapies and nothing is helping.

You may want to takes away devices and screens in general for awhile and see if that helps. If she's on tiktok and intagram the trans/LGBT short videos are almost every other video. Spend time with her without screens and do things she enjoys and ask her what makes her feel loved and special. I'm not saying these will heal her but it may be a step in the right direction.
Praise God. It’s never too late, you’re never too lost, JESUS CHRIST SAVES
Amen ❤
Nah, I'd devil
Thank you so much for this. Laura is so good at explaining what lead up to her decision to transition. I've heard other detransition stories but this one made so much sense. I have one child who started the process of transitioning and thankfully has not continued past the hormone stage. I'm praying for her salvation every day along with my second child who is a lesbian, as well as my oldest child's boyfriend's salvation. Anyone reading this, I would love for you to help me pray my prodigals back home. Also, please pray for protection for my younger three children who are still at home and dealing with the confusion of watching their beloved older siblings going through this.
Dear Lord Jesus, I thank you so much that we're over two or more are gathered in your name they are you in our midst. This Godly mom is setting a standard and drawing a boundary for her children and in the spiritual realm she is fighting the forces of evil trying to take these young people down. Lord Jesus please send Warren guardian angels to continue her fight with her and an even more powerful way, and we pray that each of them would surrender to you in the name of Yeshua our Lord and savior the name above all names. We pray that they would act on your truth in the word of God and not doubt it would believe it
I will pray for you and your children too
Praying with you that Our Father will bring them to Repentance. We all have a prodigal because the Enemy has come to steal, kill and destroy. But Our Redeemer defeated the Devil and Death and we're believing GOD that He will ultimately saved our children for HIS GLORY. We must persevere in FAITH 👏 🙌🏾 👏 🙌🏾 👏 🙌🏾 👏
Yes!!! We declare by the mighty blood and authority of Jesus that the prodigals will come home, the enemy will not prevail and we send the angles to go out and get them and rip them from the enemy’s grasp and bring them into fathers arms and home.
Praise God for this transformation!!
She speaks so eloquently and stirred so much compassion in me for the type of pain that people are experiencing which is driving them to physical mutilation.
I admire Laura’s ability to be vulnerable. It can’t be easy to share the darkness of her past. She is lighting the path for others to be delivered and giving God the glory. Very powerful!
Girl, I relate to you so much! I have never had a gender identity issue, but I was a drug addict for 14 years, and that whole time I was just running away from deep-seated pain and looking for love and answers in all the wrong places. The more I did drugs, the more dysfunctional my life became, and the more I felt desperate and broken. Praise Jesus for His grace and mercy because He is the answer that I never knew I was looking for. He entered my life and completely changed me around. Pretty much instantly my addictions were gone, and He set me on a straight and narrow path. I haven't left His side since. I've been born again and sober for 6 years now and I have a beautiful 5-year-old daughter who is the absolute love of my life. My life has been completely changed in ways I can't even describe. I went from drugs, sex, misery, and brokenness to a fulfilling life with Jesus by my side. I am just finishing my first year of nursing school and I even plan on going back and getting my doctorate once I graduate. God is SO, SO good and He is faithful and True with His promises! I would never live another minute of my life without being surrendered to Jesus. Praise God for the work He has done in your life, too... His Grace is enough!
There is nothing more beautiful than redemption. Thank you Lord God for this incredible testimony.
As a woman with endometriosis and lost my organs to disease and the difficulty it is not just the disease but losing my female organs, i cant imagine how difficult it is to process and reconcile with yourself and God. I had to walk a ling road with this after needed surgeries to save my life and other irgans and losing part of myself too. There is healing and reconciliation. Its not the female organs or hormones or appearing but something much deeper that makes us women. Not only are these women still women but so are the millions who have disease like endometriosis or are infertile or have breast cancer. Nothing is going to change that and its ok even with life, cancer, disease, surgeries its ok and you can still be everything God call you to be as a women. I myself have some children i gave birth to but also adopted children too. I still have to remind myself to embrace the feminine. Our organs are more tgan for babies, our health and identity get tied up in it. But truly our identity is in Christ. Not sex, not organs, not scars, even our sins are not our identity when we are in Christ. No pain here, no scars here will ever separate u from God when you believe truly in the saving grace of Christ. This life is but vapor. The real world is spiritual not physical and our physical does impact the spiritual but absolutely nothing is beyond the redeeming blood of Jesus. My children especially my oldest went through alot because of my disease, i was in pain and sick most of her life. Only last few years after my 5th surgery that things started to get better for my health and even as parents its hard to except it afterwards. I am stronger in Christ now and know how to manage the physical illness and pain much better and good times or bad times we can always grow more to be like Jesus
Love your spirit you really just bless my soul😊
Thankful for this beautiful lady’s testimony!!!
It shows that transitioning to be a woman is a lot easier!😮
I am adopted, which naturally leaves a hole in your identity and is a rejection that leaves you searching for acceptance and belonging. All the men in my life eventually failed me… my dad, my pastor, my husband, etc. I became very sexually promiscuous looking for male affirmation. My identity was tied into these relationships. It was not until I took all the men off the pedestal and put Jesus Christ alone on the pedestal, and understood who my identity in Christ is, that everything fell into place. I believe for many gender and sexually confused, finding their identity in Christ instead of in their gender or sexual orientation is the only true path to healing.
My brother is transitioning to a trans woman. We call him by his chosen name, but have said we will never call him by his preferred pronouns. He loves getting together with us still, and goes to church and Sunday school with his wife and with my husband and I.. I’m praying that not all is lost and he finds the answers. Thank you for a great discussion and revealing yourself!!
He's a trans woman with a wife?
Just trying to help. His situation may possibly be a sexual fetish. Look up the definition of Autogynephilia, or AGP for short. Autogynephiles are not transgender, they meet the old definition of a cross dressers, or what we use to call 'transexuals'. God can heal this too.
@@rodb66 yes, shes all for it. He just got caught in church yesterday going to the womens bathroom. My husband is on the security team. The deacons had to go to his house and tell him that he cannot go in womens restrooms, but they do have unisex toilets he can use. He said he just won’t go to church. But if he ever goes in the woman’s restroom again, he will have to be kicked out of the church
@@maverickspirit208 I won’t be talking to him about his sexual fetishes haha but I thank you for the help!! I’m sure theirs underlying issues with it, I don’t believe in this whole I’m a woman thing. Frankly, it’s insulting to me as a mother
@@judgejhf7848 I'm surprised that the church is allowing the blatant disrespect. The trans activists and advocates are really getting greedy thinking that everyone is accepts their ideology. I'm surprised that his wife accepts it. I was more compassionate on trans until I woke up how they're trying to ease some people in submission. First, we honor their preferred pronouns and next men are being allowed in women's spaces under the guise of being trans. I pray that you're brother and his wife can be delivered from the Devil's clutches. Thanks for your response.
I just wanted to say that I'm totally blind and you are such a beautiful person inside and out! I love you! You radiate so much peace and love! Just from your voice!
Wow. I can relate to so much of her story. I didn't go through a transition process because it wasn't a thing when I was young. I wanted to be a boy so badly because that is what my parents wanted. I took on male personas as a young girl. I was definitely a Tom boy, dressed like one and still do to some extent. I had crushes on girls but I never acted on any of it. 🙏 I messed up in other areas big time. I am still healing from it. God is good.
🙏🏾❤
I’ve never wanted to be a boy but a lot of her childhood story I can relate to! Thank you this has helped me. What an amazing testimony, so happy she’s with the Lord. She’s so well spoken and has an amazing spirit. I know so much more is going to come for her as well!
Okay thank you I was thinking the same thing like "this demon visited me but I rejected it" a lot of that was eerily familiar.
I can so relate to a lot of her story! I wanted to be a boy too! Boys had power, but I also knew what the Bible taught so I was between a rock and a hard place! Then I decided to trust God and my faith grew and now am comfortable with myself and am glad God made me the way he did!
Laura's testimony is so incredibly powerful. All people who are struggling with these kinds of issues should hear her story. There should be identity crisis centers like the pregnancy crisis centers, which could offer counseling and support. A safe place where people could go to just discuss the difficulties they are struggling with, with people like Laura who have already traveled the path before them.She brought up so many things I never even imagined that people have to deal with when they choose transgenderism, such as changing their history to match their new gender identity. What is so frightening, is the medical industry which so quickly prescribes hormones and surgery without even counseling. Such life altering decisions are made so casually. My heart goes out to everyone who doesn't know the Saviour and are confused about their identity.
There are centers like this, but they are not Christian. They are clinics that promote LGBT values and encourage minors to transition.
Our stories as prodigals take a lot of forms. None worse than the other. All had us squarely at odds with a Holy God. "May the Lamb that was Slain receive the reward for His suffering."
Amen ❤❤❤❤
All the pieces are in your guest's story for her child's heart to feel rejected and then reject her own identity. Its always heartbreaking. It's also transformative for her gospel understanding of her mom's stress. I like how she reminds us parents are sinners and children have a sinners perception of parent's relationship with them.
I used to watch true life: I have OCD on MTV as a kid. After a while, I started picking up those behaviors. I remember thinking my mom would notice and realize something was wrong with me. Although nothing was wrong with me I just needed more attention from my parents.
She speaks so graciously and knows the Word. Good testimony!!
She went on a wild ride left astray by the devil. But God's love and grace brought this prodigal home. Praise God for his mercy. And now she is saved and serves Jesus to help others. Amazing testimony
What an amazing resource for those who need to hear they're not alone and that there is hope! ❤
Beautiful testimony! Laura is so well spoken
Laura speaks so beautifully and so eloquently. Very well-spoken.
Thank you for being bold and sharing your story Laura!!!
Just 6 minutes in and omg the level of grace Laura that you talk about your mother even though she hurt you, is incredible and literally only Holy Spirit can do that with you working with Him.
I'm so glad that these stories are coming out because this is my story too. I never transitioned but I considered myself bisexual for many years after being groomed by my best friend and her big sister growing up. All the feelings of not being a good enough girl and that being reinforced with a polycystic ovarian syndrome diagnosis and boys never liking me because I wasn't girly enough. Of course now I have found the truth in Christ and I'm engaged with a child on the way (I know that's the backwards order but that's how it worked out). I'm very grateful that I didn't believe the lies that I was somehow less of a woman because of my wounds
I was just speaking to someone this morning about Laura’s amazing story this morning! Love her testimony and her witness for the Lord.
There is a child in my daughter’s school who identifies as a cat. My daughter told me that the school allows her to bring a litter box to school. So crazy to hear that it’s happening a lot.
@@thewanderingfaith I wish I was joking.
😂😂😂 oh my 😂😂😂😂
Yes!! Also in a class that i know. There is a litterbox in the classroom. They just affirm this madness.
Meaning they actually use the litter box or is it there to just affirm their "identity"?
😂😂
Great interview and even more wonderful guest.
Thank you for all this work you do. A true servant of God
God Jesus Christ is our King 👑
For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet. 1 Corinthians 15:25
Praise the Lord for snatching her out of darkness 💕
Very lovely testimony. I too am a detransitioner (healed) by the grace of Jesus❤️🔥🕊️
This episode is fantastic!
Fascinating story.
After I listened to this amazing testimony, I wrote the lyrics to a song based on her amazing testimony. 😊
I got saved by Jesus 4 months ago. Before Jesus i called myself bisexual and all my friends were lgbtq people. I was pro-choice, i didn’t belive in sin, etc etc.
Jesus has now opened my eyes witch im so grateful for! Now i understand what sin is, i understand that abortion is a disturbing thing and i no longer feel attraction to women. Im so glad that Jesus showed me the truth.
But, i still have these lgbtq friends around me. (Im now blessed with sisters in Christ witch im so grateful for.. but i still have contact with my old friends because i want to show them the light of the Lord).
Two of my friends are gay and transexual. And my friend is now going trough that ”transformation” and i just want to tell him that this is not the way, he will not be happy after he is done with the ”medicin” and the surgeries. Same wirh my bestfriend who is gay, he tells me all the guys he’s being with and how bad he feels about it. And i just want to scream the name JESUS! Ofc i pray for them and pray that they will come to Jesus.
But its sp hard with lgbtq people. They have so much hate towards us followers of Jesus and they have already asked me alot of rude questions to try to put me against the wall. They want to see if im now homophobic and transphobic. Its so sad that you will be canceled if you just want to help them..
Anyone experience this?
God bless you all 🤍
Praying for you…..trusting God has great work to do thru you!!
They hate the truth, not you, because you're representing the Truth who is JESUS, and His Word convicts their consciences because they know the truth. Jesus said if they hate you, know that they hated me also. No one is greater than his Master. You can love them by sharing the truth, however you need boundaries in these relationships. You can no longer allow the male friends to share all of their intimate details and just hanging out with all your lgbt friends. You have to have purpose in your conversations of leading them to Jesus. He came to save them and you and now He wants to use you as a conduit and a lightof God's redeeming and transforming power . 🙏🏾 🙏🏾 🙏🏾
Fav episode so far! Laura really explains her journey well. Allie you listen & ask great questions in timely fashion. Looking forward to episode 2. One question came up in my mind…when Laura went to the “boot camp” and they tried to press her into being a Christian…were they well equipped with knowledge on how to handle this issue. Seems to me anyone in key role as instructors/therapists really need to know & understand what they r dealing with.
Leave it all behind and come to The Well. ❤️ Nothing else will satisfy except Christ alone - living water that quenches the thirst that keeps us always searching for something more.
I'm not trans but so much of what Laura said about parent child relationships resonated with me... Thank you so much for sharing!
Laura has a striking level of insight. What’s more, is her
ability to forgive. That relieves such a big, huge Santa Claus kind of bag
full of hurt, pain and dispair.
To offload all that pain &
suffering… so, so valuable.
Laura seems like “a real keeper”. So much depth
of character is so evident.
God is gonna keep right on
seeing His work, and sculpting her life.
PTL
👍🏼👍🏼
My oldest beautiful grandaughter very recently told me that she is Trans........
I simply believe JESUS LOVES HER and do I~~~
I believe this has manifested because of childhood trauma....
Thank you for being so open and honest, surrendering ALL TO JESUS!
So powerful!
The power of the Gospel 🙏🙏 i love her faith in Christ!
You are speaking my story in your beginning
Always in prayer for the lost🙏🙏🙏 I have a niece whom I love very. Always wanted to be a boy😩 She is now married to a woman (whom I feel the presence of evil every time is she comes around) All I can do is pray for both of them 🙏🙏🙏
Amazing, amazing, amazing. We give God all the praise and the thanks, the glory and the honour for every grace He has poured out in the heart, consciousness and spirit of Laura. A brutally honest and realistic testimony, a side we don't hear very often. God bless you both. Thank u Allie for ur platform.
Thank you for sharing this❤
Laura perry is amazing!!! I love her story of redemption and rescue!
I heard her testimony before! Jesus Christ the only one that can change and transform a life!
Gosh.. Praise God! I am not a trans but i understand her. I was raped 3 times and i gave myself to everyone after that, (sex) I was destroying myself even more. I had no value, did drugs, got drunk every weekend. Tried suicide, i cut myself. Everything..
Abuse is not so much about our bodies, it's mental. I am so happy that God changed her. I think all transgender people have mental issues, they need Jesus. Like i need Jesus, not everyday is a good day, depressed from time to time but i keep trying and showing up for God.
We all long to be loved and connected. Wonderful story of how God won her heart... as she deserved all along. #Stress #parenting #Trauma
What a rock solid woman of God. All glory to God ❤
Loving parents never affirm a child's confusion or sin; true love triumphed. 🙏🏼
This was very good she is very articulating her experience..
I'm not personally trans, but thank you for sharing your testimony.
The Lord God that saved Laura and I is working various ways out to saving more that are being lost from this promiscuous acts🙏🙏🙏
Bless you Laura and blessings for the program ❤❤
Wow, God made it so that you wouldn’t even be able to tell that she’s been through hormones and procedures. She looks absolutely beautiful! God bless you! ❤️
Incredibly powerful!
Hallelujah!!! Once a bi-guy who forgot he had been molested and upon knowing the Lord Jesus, all was revealed and the call to repent and submit led to me dying to self and seeing the Holy Spirit change me and is still sanctifying me and making me ready for His coming. Now, I get to work in His harvest and see Him rescue others from the devil's deceptive attacks. ❤
Thanks for these interviews they are eye opening
This girl is so real.
Powerful testimony for all to hear! Very relatable and such truth! Satan can send us down a path of destruction very easily using our parents wounds and shortcomings, our innocence and curiosity. He doesn't let up. St. Michael, the Archangel Protect us in battle!
Excellent interview
I've NEVER thought of myself as a female. Never played with dolls my mom said, I always played with cars, don't remember much of my child hood. Never did anything or wore anything that a girl would do or wear unless I was made bc of church. My mom would also say I carried myself like my dad, walked liked him etc. I'm 57 and still don't feel like a female even tho I do look like a female.
Wonderful interview, thanks for backtracking at around 27mins, I was wanting some of the details to be fleshed out of how she jumped to hormone treatment and surgery.
At about the 29 to 30 min mark they ask what other diagnosis can a patient tell a Dr what style of treatment they want and that they’d never seen the ability of a patient to make that choice but I’m in the medical profession and in truth it happens all the time. Just off the top of my head we saw it in how we prescribe and have and do administer pain medication for years. Just because you are a Dr or medical professional doesn’t mean you have the last say. Insurance companies determine where and how we are to treat. Many times we want to say No but our hands were tied long ago. How we deal with the LGBTQ+ community and their desires to transform makes money for insurers and because of this medical professionals were told what they could do and what they couldn’t do with treatment
Laura should be speaking at schools to children. Instead of them being indoctrinated she can put them on the right path.
I'm a born again Christian who Met Jesus after enduring years of significant trauma. Listening to this is painful. I can see how the way traditional Christians think and communicate causes so much complexity around emotions. So much guilt around anger, bitterness, sin etc it doesn't allow a safe space for children to fully move through and express their emotions without suppressing, drowning in guilt or shame. A lot of these beliefs are not rooted in God at all. They are misinterpreted and it feels very painful. I can see the inner turmoil and complex trauma. But in order to truly heal we have to be allowed to feel. God healed me from so much and thought me his way. Some of this really isn't it. The belief that God is perfect, he created me perfect, he doesn't make mistakes is a very misguided statement that I believe many Christians use and similar blanket statements that again don't allow for you to feel bad about your circumstances. Can I just say it is completely normal for you to feel hurt and angry that someone molested you or cause you were neglected in some ways due to your mom's complex illness. I healed from fibromyalgia BTW so I get it and other auto immune issues. The christian community needs to allow people to FEEL and to not just accept everything because that is suppression and causes disease. Anyway I wish you luck, peace and healing ❤❤
😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊 Thank you very much for the information. 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Powerful, powerful interview. Thank you for this!
A very interesting life journey. Thank you and God bless you both. P.s. I've had NO idea whatsoever that diaper companies support abortion, that's so crazy!😮
The one complaint I have is with how often Allie interrupted her guest. Sometimes Laura wouldn’t be able to get more than two words out before she got cut off. Would prefer seeing a video where Laura is given free reign to tell her story in her own way.
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 yes ppl forget about that relationship they should have with god. Yall have a wonderful day.
Dear Allie, thankyou for your videos. I am wondering whether you consider yourself a True Conservative Christian, or a progressive Christian who you acknowledge to be more loving & caring , or a mixture of both ?
Hugs😢
She seems to have the connection of the heart of God and her life is completely changed.
Only God can change the heart.
I wish all the girls going through puberty will watch this video and really give themselves time to accept their changing bodies
Thank you!
