Discovering the Truth About My Identity (Part 1) - Jackie Hill Perry
Jackie Hill Perry was attracted to women before she could spell her own name. Abandoned and mistreated by every man in her life, she sought solace and comfort in women, and had her first girlfriend in middle school. As she became more committed to being a lesbian, she also began dressing and acting like a man. All along, Jackie also felt God trying to get her attention, and one night, could no longer ignore His tug on her heart.
Accepting Jesus spiraled Jackie into a complete life change, as she committed to following God, met and married her husband, and became a mom to two daughters. In this two day Focus on the Family broadcast, hear Jackie’s incredible story that proves that no one is beyond the grace and love of Jesus Christ.

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.
Deep. "As if emotions are a feminine trait."
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.
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.

“Until you feel that He is worth it, then you’re willing to crucify those things that you feel is right.”
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 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.
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.

Even when she was young she lays claim to the fact that she knew the feelings were wrong because, ‘ the conscience speaks ‘
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.
LOVE THIS SISTER IN THE LORD! She such an asset to the body of Christ!!!
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 love this woman she’s just gorgeous

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.
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 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!
Yes. We must speak to people about His love and kindness.
A voice that needs to be heard so we're equipped as believers to continue to glorify Christ.
This was amazing! So insightful. We need to have more conversations about this topic in the church.

Saw Jackie during my undergrad at Cal Baptist at their Chapel. Loved her story!!! Truly something everyone should hear!! 🧡🧡🧡
She has so much wisdom and honesty and courage. Love the way she expresses herself.
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.
“You just told me to obey without power.”
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.
I wish everyone in the world could watch this

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.
“The power that he would give me so that I am able to obey” 🙌🏻 Woowwww!
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.

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!
So blessed by this conversation 🙏🏿
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.

Thank you Jackie, Blessings! Clear voices, Sanctification, Purity, your choices and your acceptance of Christ! I added your choices....
Beautiful testimony Jackie❤. Thank you for sharing!
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'm only five minutes in. Such wisdom. What she says about mercy in the beginning.... profound and powerful.
Wow... Such a great conversation!

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.
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.
Thanks Jackie....for the righteous insight.
Powerful Testimony. Thank you Jackie :)
