That statement just summed up for me some things for me on so many levels. And when she said Preach Jesus’. He’s the one that gives us the power to overcome sin (paraphrased).
Her story is my story. Christ set me free in 1998 from homosexuality & addictions and throughout some struggles and failures He continues to show himself faithful. I love Him more everyday. Thank you Jackie.
I have a niece just like her who has never been "feminine enough" and now in highschool has a girlfriend. I thank this woman for writing this and coming to tell her side so that I can better understand my niece.
Any sin that can keep us out of the Kingdom should be discussed on Focus. Thank you for sharing your testimony! The church needs help reaching the LGBTQ community.
Thank you, Jackie for your testimony, your faith, and your honest and loving comments. It’s so valuable (and convicting) to me. As a Christian, I don’t think I respond well to those in my life dealing with homosexuality. Thank you for speaking out it has helped me.
13:20 she mentions why she had a special connection with women, because they were there for her emotionally. This is an extremely important point in relationships.
I loved the fact that she said that ppl forget to over come u have to first accept jesus and it takes faith and power to accomplish all God's telling us to do love it.
Thank you for this. As a mom with a daughter struggling this gives me hope. One thing I have seen over & over is so many in this struggle have been molested as young children. Let's understand that people have been so deeply wounded. Not an excuse for any sin but let's use knowledge with compassion. Let's be Jesus to all.
I may not your typical audience (59 year old former “fundy” but faithful follower of Jesus but I read (actually “consumed”) Jackie’s book last week. I read it to help me understand the struggles of those in the SSA community but I was consistently surprised at how she was used by the Holy Spirit to shine a light on areas in my life that I was not surrendering to Him. We ALL fight temptations of one kind or another and only with God’s help can we resist and walk in victory. Her book goes beyond her particular “issue” but speaks to the heart of all of our issues: Summed up in one word: unbelief. That one word on that one page struck a chord with me. Thank you Jackie for sharing your story and being such an ambassador for Christ for this time. I have a better understanding of how to communiicate, love, and pray for the LGBTQ community now. Praying you continue to stay strong in the Lord!
I really appreciate the fact that Focus on the Family is addressing these current challenges within the church and our young people instead of shying away from them. Awareness and educating others, on what those who struggle with this are thinking, is building a bridge for us to be able to truly love the sinner and not the sin. Compassion, love and understanding will take us way further than condemnation, hate, and alienating them.
I'd grown up associating Focus on the Family with a legalistic community that listened to them on the radio and, in practice, ignored/reinforced abuse to keep traditional family roles in place. Seeing Jackie here is the reason I clicked to watch them today. I deeply appreciate that they invited her on and that they're discussing this topic in a helpful, positive way.
I found her comment about our culture reaping the the results of teaching unbiblical gender differences as if they are “gospel”. I think that is something the church has yet to really understand. I think I really agree with this idea.
I don't like the way the questions are being phrased, like they're perfect and never sinned. She doing a great job of answering these condescending questions.
I never heard about Jackie until today. I was listening to some gospel music and this came across my feed. So glad I'm not too judgemental to see what was being talked about. Her testimony has truly been enlightening and uplifting. I'm reminded of a song that say, "Jesus will pick you up if HE has to reach way down!" Peace and blessings to you Jackie. Continue to tell of God's goodness....
I am very thankful for this discussion with Jackie. Jackie, you are a blessing to people who are struggling with the issues of lesbianism, and for everyone who needs to understand the truth and consequences of that choice. I thank the Lord for your salvation and your willingness to share your journey in life, and how Jesus transformed you into the godly woman you are now. The Lord bless you your family! I am blessed to have heard your testimony. So real!
I believe women understand women in ways men do not understand women. This is not to slam anyone, it is simply that there are differences in how men and women think. I think this is sometimes part of the attraction when women have been hurt by men.
This literally brought me to tears. Amazing testimony. The Church needs people like her and less of those who condemn others instead of trying to reach out and bring them to Christ. And I appreciate the sensitivity and insight of the Interviewers. Very refreshing. What she says about the rigid gender roles within the Church contributing to gender confusion, bang on. I've always felt this way.
Love this breakdown. Thing my feel natural to our flesh, but not natural for our Spirit man. Brings me to a greater understanding that flesh is never right. Lean to the spirit only.
Holyyyy cow she said sooo many things that was RIGHT ON!!!! I GAVE my self to Christ for the billionth time. I'm fighting the same thing she did.... And boy it is such a shameful thing to speak about. Many go on feeling it's wrong and trying to change on their own (me). Sooooo many struggle with this.
She makes a lot of sense. I appreciate this show asking people like Jackie to share their stories, instead of just preaching how to follow Jesus. These types of testimonials, and the excellent questions from the interviewers, are better than any sermon.
Thank you Jackie and Focus. Jackie, you said a couple of things here that I have never heard you say before that were so helpful/revealing in my own journey of restoration. Bless u for being willing to be so candid.
I secretly stalk all of Jackie's videos but while watching this one, I really resonated with the daddy issues. If you ever read this Jackie, I hope you write a book about daddy issues.
Powerful and thank you for sharing your story with a hopeful praying mother that have 3 children dealing with this unclean spirit. So you have given me faith and hope to keep speaking God’s truth over their lives and so many others that I see in this world.
Shes awesome communicator. Pls pray for Jackie and others that they will be protected against envy etc. Pray for unbelievers too that they will experience God's supernatural love and that we as church won't feel envy as well i Jesus name amen 🙏
Another, fantastic interview! Again the courage and honesty. Jesus is the GREATEST gift any of us have ever been given. Earthly Fatherhood is so critical. I know, even I struggled in learning what my Heavenly Father meant, how to relate and how to accept and understand Him.
I dońt know what Jackie means when she says being with a woman felt ´right´but that she also didn’t feel ‘peace’ when she was actively into lesbianism. I love her testimony and have her book which was great!
Thank you, Jackie, for sharing your grace through courage. You just brought me such hope for my daughter; that she can see who she truly is in Christ Jesus.
I love the point made about how Jesus empathised with everyone and made connections with people, and the mention of Romans 1 and 2 warning believers of the hypocracy in judging others.
Absolutely love Jackie! I didn't even start watching yet but I had to comment. I'm happy she has received this opportunity and I look forward to the gems she will share.
Thank you for this!!! I so wish that I saw this before. I've lost the respect and desire of my granddaughter through marriage, by failing to share a lovingJesus of the Bible before sharing the condemnations of her choices.
I love the point of looking at the Bible for gender roles. For example, Jacob loved the house while Esua loved the field. In today's society, Jacob would be considered a mamma's boy or soft while Esua would be considered manly nor more masculine. But they were both men.
It really is all about Jesus, isn't it? He is the foundation and finisher of our faith. Modeling Christ and preaching Him to others- I really don't see who wouldn't fall in love with Him when they hear about Him. That love is what causes us to cleave to Him even though we are prone to wandering. It's that love that causes Him to sanctify us and prune us to conform to His image. It's all about Jesus!!
EXCELLENT! I really needed to hear this so as to be completely compassionate! THANK YOU LORD JESUS! THANK YOU AND PRAISE YOUR HOLY NAME FOREVER AND FOREVER!
Mind renewed + Heart cleansed = Lead with Love = God's liberty healing and blessings for us all = Mercy Grace & Peace! Ephesians 1...Forgiven & Redeemed & Holy! Jesus is Lord!
Can you guys add captions to your videos? I would love to share this video series, but I have many Deaf friends on my social media accounts and I won't share something they can't have access to.
I love this conversation. It was just that and not a shouting match where each is trying to convince the othet that his point of view is right. I loved the scriptual references. And yes, I beliveve that marriage is between a man and a woman.
Jackie was so patient, theological, smart, and kind; me and my wife appreciate, admire and respect her. This is the worst (well-intentioned) interview/moderation by hosts that I can remember listening to, though. They constantly didn’t catch what she was saying and talking about, usually responding in a way that didn’t engage (or sometimes even acknowledge) what she had just been sharing, other than to make their own point or share their own thoughts or stories that weren’t even that relevant to what she had just said.
So, not a huge fan of FOTF BUT I am a huge fan of Jackie. However, when the interviewer talks about the connection of believers/Church and his relationship with a person from the LGBQT community.... I heard that. Relationships are paramount, Jesus showed us that! Not about caring signs and pronouncing he’ll... it really is about Jesus and he had relationships with people who were different!!! Bravo to you all!! Still like Jackie more js!!!
Thanks for asking that we add closed captions to our RUclips interviews, April. Unfortunately, we currently don’t have the resources to do this, but our digital team has received your feedback. We do have written transcripts of most of our programs at www.focusonthefamily.com/shows. We hope this is helpful.
Im really thankful to focus on the family for inviting her, I listen to focus some time on the radio and she is very different from most of the guests I've heard so far. Im really glad they got her in 👍👍 . God bless. Her life and testimony and teachings are such an inspiration to anyone in the Christian body. Sister Perry God bless you
My x was just like your dad on what he said if you don’t talk to me it won’t bother me …. The saddest part is that dad is lying to himself for he is trying to deny how he truly feels and put up a wall to protect himself . Sad
I love the line when she says when you believe Jesus is worth it then you will deny your fleshly desires... so powerful!!!
Then when she says about recalling her first affection from a man was abuse. It wasnt a hug. My my my.
Jackie has an ability to make things plain and clear.
Truth. I'm not homosexual nor am I perfect. But I have abstained for all 40 years of my life. There's a movie about me. LOL!
I would have to agree.
That statement just summed up for me some things for me on so many levels. And when she said Preach Jesus’. He’s the one that gives us the power to overcome sin (paraphrased).
Her story is my story. Christ set me free in 1998 from homosexuality & addictions and throughout some struggles and failures He continues to show himself faithful. I love Him more everyday. Thank you Jackie.

Jackie is so anointed to do what she’s doing. She speaks so confidently and powerfully.
Awesome testimony of God's power to overcome
We are followers of the Word not editors of the Word
Amen! Holy Spirit talking thru her is so inspiring. Truly an annointing
I love Jackie. She brings everything back to SCRIPTURE
AS it should be
*Amen!* It's the ONLY way to do it, and effectively.
Pray that Jackie keeps close to the truth.
Her use of scripture… powerful. Works for any and every sin/ infirmity/ weakness.
Jim daly is such a gifted moderator he just asks the right questions with the right tone of voice.
And he’s so compassionate and so open to listening. It makes it easy for people to open up to him and it’s truly a gift from the Lord.

All sin will keep us out of the kingdom...

Even when she was young she lays claim to the fact that she knew the feelings were wrong because, ‘ the conscience speaks ‘
Deep. "As if emotions are a feminine trait."
“Until you feel that He is worth it, then you’re willing to crucify those things that you feel is right.”
13:20 she mentions why she had a special connection with women, because they were there for her emotionally. This is an extremely important point in relationships.

One thing about Jackie, she's Deep ♥️
I love this so much. Jackie, your words are filled with patience, love and holy boldness. People need to be shown the beauty and love of Christ.
“The power that he would give me so that I am able to obey” 🙌🏻 Woowwww!
A voice that needs to be heard so we're equipped as believers to continue to glorify Christ.
Yes. We must speak to people about His love and kindness.
She has so much wisdom and honesty and courage. Love the way she expresses herself.
