For most of my life, I believed I had reached the end of the road before my life had truly begun. I believed I had been born gay, that my attractions defined me permanently, and that no amount of prayer could ever change that reality. Eventually, I concluded that if God would not change that, then perhaps He intended for me to remain exactly as I was. That belief shaped years of confusion, resentment, self-justification, and spiritual distance. Today, after more than three decades living a very different life, I no longer believe the most important question is whether someone was born this way. I believe the more important question is whether any of us is willing to be transformed.
