How I Followed Jesus Away From Gay

I didn’t think there was a way out.

 

Many cheer-on LGBTQ Pride. But what if the LGBTQ life isn’t always the party that the world says it is? What if these valuable people are in pain? Pain that sex and Gay Pride won’t heal? After a life of hopelessness and a suicidal season , I discovered that Jesus offered real inner healing and intimate relationship.

In The Journey Out, I...

  • Demystify homosexuality & gender identity issues.

  • Share stories of real transformation.

  • Help you form an intimate connection with Jesus.

  • Help you journey toward wholeness & freedom.

  • Lead you to meet with God in key areas crucial to growth.

  • Offer wisdom for supporters: parents, family, friends, & pastors.

This is my story.

I didn’t fit in with the boys, as a child. They didn’t seem to like me, and neither did I. So from first grade, I began to live every day in a fantasy world of codependent fixation on whichever boy in my life I saw as the picture-perfect male. It was how I affirmed myself and coped with a life of hopelessness and self-hatred. My very first sexual desires were for other males. I had none for females. And my pain medication for 20 years was daily addiction to masturbation, which included stents of serious addiction to gay pornography. The shame of those sins and some sexual encounters resulted in a suicidal season at age 17.

It was at this point that I began pursuit of my true sexual identity. The first several years were were frustrating and were only failed attempts at freedom. I couldn’t fathom breaking free of my addictions or ever finding a woman sexually attractive. But eventually, I discovered some kingdom realities and encountered God in areas and ways that transformed me. The following years healed childhood trauma, replaced lies with truth, forged deep intimacy with God, and established self-love and masculine identity. Today, I'm married to my wife (since 2006), enjoy sexual intimacy with her, and we have four children together.

Today, I’m a pastor who focuses full time on addressing matters of sexual identity. And I’ve seen many others walk this same journey.

“Ken gave me the courage to walk away from the thing that was killing me.”

— B. R. (California)

“‘Homosexuality and the church’ is probably one of the most defining subjects of our time and Ken Williams is one of the most compassionate, knowledgeable advocate voices in this arena. I have sat with him numerous times as he answered the complex questions with wisdom and poise, accurately representing Jesus’ love and redemptive power to a generation lost and trapped in the confusion of secular thinking. He is a true testimony of authentic masculinity, Christ-like husbands and committed fathering. It’s my privilege to call him friend.”

— Graeme Morris
Conference speaker & pastor (Kelowna, British Columbia)

"My testimony of being sober from pornography and masturbation is just the surface. Because of Ken, I am a man who is fully secure in myself. I love the way I look, I love the way God made me, and I am not ashamed of others seeing me as weak. I used to almost never cry, and now I do so on a regular basis. Not because I’m always sad, but because I finally know how to feel instead of always numbing my pain away, and I’m not ashamed of allowing myself to do so. Ken, thank you for being the man to model this kingdom lifestyle to me. Thank you for accepting and loving me when I thought no one would. You are a model to the world of what masculinity is, and I couldn’t be more thankful to have you in my life.”

— T.B. (Ohio)
