Your message is strong ...my husband died when my son was 7 and it's been so hard on him growing up. He truly felt this loss and suffered depression, anxiety. He is now 24. Please can I ask for prayers for him ? I was an older mom at 40 and my most heartfelt prayer is for him to find a Godly woman so he won't be all alone when God calls me home.
Thank you for sharing your story Ross! You are so brave, and I find it admirable that you speak the truth with such power and conviction in a respectful way.
Ross! So proud of you! I'm so encouraged to see what you're up to since going to SDCC together. Praise the Lord! I remember the power of your testimony during that time so it's incredible to see how you're ministering to so many individuals in Southern CA. Praying for you and your ministry!
Loved this conversation so much!! I also grew up in a two mom household and came to the Lord later in life. This is the first time I have heard someone who lived in a household with a parent in a same sex relationship and then came to the Lord later. This was so relatable and I am so thankful for this conversation.
Show them the grace of Christ with Truth. Ask, do you know who Jesus is? (John 3:16 KJB) Ask, if you died today, so you know where you will go? Would you like to go to heaven? Pray that God will give you an opportunity to be with your niece and nephew to lead them without interruption or interference from the enemy. Plead the sinless blood of Christ over yourself if you’re saved and wait for the door God opens for you to talk to your unsaved family members. In your sinful state “ye must be born again” - The Lord Jesus Christ, the Holy One of God. Have you submitted yourself to the righteousness of Christ first? Obey the gospel and you will have peace with God. If you disobey by not acknowledging that you need a Savior then you will not have peace with God nor eternal life.
We know several children in our area in same situation who visit our Church and we love on them and pray with them and for them. Wonderful and encouraging testimony!
Allie, I watch you everyday. I am 72 years old. I have had a switch in my life the last few weeks. I have stopped watching regular TV. I only watch you tubes podcasts, and news. Don't let these people slam what you are doing. You are doing what God has called you to do! Your show is a blessing to me. God bless .
“ The gospel was the language of what my heart had been longing for my entire life” Wow! So beautiful! Thank you for sharing. I love seeing the love and thankfulness that you have for your mom still.
Wow this kid is such a joy. Really loved this interview, thank you! I just came back to the Lord after 30 years of living a gay lifestyle. God is good!
So happy for your salvation! I know God takes the sinful and causes them to be filled with enough love to live victorious in Christ. It happened to me 48 years ago…
I was born in 1967, teen mom, family raised but no dad. I always wanted my dad. I got a step dad about 9 years old. But it still always hurt not having a dad. Kids need 2 parents, and i had an uncle, aunt, grandmama that raised me. I still missed my dad.
Thank you for sharing your story and the truth! Im sorry that you were in pain because you didn’t have a dad. It’s a good thing we have a heavenly Father in Jesus, whom perfectly loves us.
I love how during his testimony Allie kept bringing it back to the gospel. The gospel is essential to our salvation, and although this young man has such a heart for the Lord, it should always be made clear that we're saved by faith in Christ which leads to repentance, acknowledging that we're sinners in need of a savior - a savior whom made the payment for our sin on the cross, and then rose on the third day, so that instead of getting what we deserve (hell) we are graciously given what we haven't earned (heaven). We have to be careful that it's not simply a feeling of God's presence that makes us "feel" saved. Again, this young man is on fire for the Lord and I've really enjoyed the interview so far!
Exactly. There was a lot of focus on what he “felt”. What about his need for repentance? Praise God for how he met him where he was but I hope that when he shares the gospel it’s not just about “feeling” hope and peace.
Let God be God!! Do we always need to get preachy preachy ... He is Faithful to complete the good thing HE has started!”... Ps. HE created us with emotions 🙌🏻... This testimony is amazing! And as always Ally glorifies God! Real relationship which INCLUDES emotions with God is just what the world needs... Relationship NOT religion!!!...
I honestly thought these children raised by homosexual couples were doomed! God didn’t think so! Our God is amazing!!! Thank you Lord! I bless your great and awesome name!
What a loving momma you have!! ❤ And you will be an amazing father! Kids just want to know first and foremost from their parents that they are loved. You are already practicing that with others and you seem very genuine with the love you give. Your kids will be so lucky to have you as a dad! 🥰
Love this testimony!! My husband and I are from FL and TX. We chose to stay in SoCal to preach the gospel and save the lost for Jesus. God came into our lives and delivered us from drugs and alcohol over 13 years ago in Oceanside CA. We were convicted to stay to reach the broken and hurting for His Kingdom. Doing His will has brought total fulfillment. We have been blessed with miracle provisions to raise our 6 children in such a state as California (homeschooled, of course). We take our kids with us on the streets to preach His word and we see sinners redeemed, praise the Lord!
Again you see, inside in this young man there was a longing for a dad! ❤ How precious is life of Gods Children. He looks upon them and will pursue them!!🙏🙏❤️ such a wonderful testimony from this young man! Praise God!! God, you are so gracious, so loving, so faithful, I am so grateful! Amen!! Use this man for Your Kingdom!! Amen!
29:45 SHEESH!!!! I needed to hear that so badly. I was saved a little over 2 months ago. Healed trauma, broke away from demons, sin, and addictions, etc. But I have been struggling so much on how to approach my life back home whenever I return to visit my family and friends. I'm from Georgia but currently live in California until school is done. All my friends back home are LGBTQ+ and in relationships. I know how they feel about Him and it breaks my heart. I have been feeling 2 things constantly since I've been saved: 1. I need to share this love with my people back home and 2. I'm terrified to even bring it up. How can those two things exist together? And Ross put it right out there! I want to see them in Heaven with me because I LOVE THEM!! Not because I want to change them or make them think something they don't want to think. If He can save me, anything is possible. It's only out of pure love that I want to tell them how Jesus saved me, delivered, and changed me. They have such stereotypical indoctrinated ideas of who our Lord is but they have no idea how much God doesn't care about that. He just wants to talk to them and know them and bring them peace! The rest is up to them, but Ross said it perfectly, "God wrote the manual into all of our hearts". It's gotten to the point where I hardly know how to talk to them anymore. I don't agree with things they say so I stay quiet and when I say things they don't know how to receive, they stay quiet. I'm like maybe it's just better if I love them quietly and keep the truth to myself, but my hearts is BURNING to bring them the truth. This isn't an easy road to walk down but I'm taking it one step at a time. Thank you so much for sharing this episode with us!
@msRikkiTikki1 Don’t you think the first step is to be an example to your friends? Be the change you want to see. Surely they will ask you what and how you have changed and why your life lacks the chaos of their lifestyle. That would be a good start 🙏
I know what that feels like. I’m a Christian Catholic in Portland, Oregon and it’s a pretty faithless place out here. My mom is really bound up by some pretty big father wounds/church hurt so it’s hard to talk with her. I tend a Christian home and I do music for worship at my church so it can be really hard to find things to talk about that are genuine. I’ve been avoiding talking about church/God until recently. I’ve started saying “God bless” with a smile to everyone I see and when my mom and I talk and she says something provocative about Jesus or Christians I ask her “what do you mean? Tell me about that.” That does two things: she feels heard and I better understand where she’s coming from (and what the lie is). Then I ask “can I speak to what you just shared?” Sometimes her answer is no. Sometimes she’s taken off guard and is happy to be listened to so she says yes. I will say, it’s hard to contradict a lie that someone has bought into because they can interpret your words as gaslighting especially if they have a history of abuse. But it’s worth talking, being present, and just planting a mustard seed. Also it’s 100% okay if you’re asked a difficult question to say, “you know, I don’t know, but I can find out. Would you like that?” That models a very attractive humility and it makes it crystal clear if the convo with your friend is a “gotcha” moment for them or if it’s sincere. Peace be will you! God can use you as his beautiful instrument of peace. 🙏❤️
@@jessicarobinson9248 wow thank you so much for your comment! Many blessings to you and your family 💙💜💙 I really needed to hear those beautiful words today 🥳🫶🏻 you shared some wonderful advice I can’t wait to implement in my life!
I’ve seen this guy on Instagram before, I really love his stuff. I’m happy you had him on your podcast. He’s truly such a kind person and he’s wonderful to listen to. I love his approach to preaching the gospel
I want to share this discussion with others. Not just being in a home like this, but the way God drew you to himself. It’s so clear that God is always working!!!! (Edit) And yes, we have a fatherless crisis!!! I met my earthly father when I was 28 and we never developed a relationship. But I met my Heavenly Father at 19 and cultivating that relationship is what makes all of the difference.
I am a 78-year old Texas woman. I am new to your channel. Today is my first of many times that my heart will be listening to you, Allie. I so enjoyed Ross. He touched my heart so much. I have been married for almost 45 years. The other day, my husband and I were at a local phone store. The young lady that helped us was a self-identified lesbian. I was able to talk to her about God. I told her that homosexuality was an abomination to God. She DID NOT want to believe me. I told her entirely in love. Please pray for her. She has been on my mind and in my prayers constantly. Ross, I will be praying for your mother and her ex-partner. If I pray for your mother to be saved, I must pray that her ex- partner be saved as well. Ross and Allie, both of these women are precious 💖 in God's Precious Eyes.
Thanks for this video; God is so good! My friend was given 4-6 wks to live in the spring, & she is still here, looking well, singing in the choir, & tending her 2 young teens. Her ex is a non-practicing Jew, so it’s a huge miracle that Patricia was saved within the last 2 years & that she is still here, doing great…all because of God’s glory. Thank you for this amazing story about our great savior!
Amazing testimony! God can never be limited by anything. He used even disobedience to His word to His advantage and glory. He was never in church and God still reached out in love.
I’ve been praying day and night for California. I was born just a stones throw from Azuza St., Los Angeles County and I’m 67 years old and I lived here. I was educated here I was saved here. I’ve been very active in Solon here and I tell you I just can’t stand to see it in the shape of 10 and I am praying second Chronicles 714 as well as other things I’m doing that I cannot say right here.
I love that he wants to be a Godly father! You have a chance to change the world! I'm also the only Christian in my family - still praying after 40 years 🙏
Beautiful testimony. I just want to say something important about engaging on ‘heart’ and ‘mind’ level. I know it is usually meant really well. But this whole thing where we make out that we cannot engage properly if the mind is involved is not Biblical. God said we should ‘set our minds on things above’ ( Col 3: 2-4). Our hearts and minds are intertwined. “ As a man thinks in his heart so is he”. ( Prov 23:7) We think with our beautiful minds, created by God for that purpose and as we set our minds on things above and think about all things that are pure and lovely and beautiful ( Phil 4:8-9), our hearts are ignited and changed. We do not live by feeling, we live by faith. After 55 years of walking with God, I have to tell you, if I depended on my feelings or heart only, I would not have made it thus far. But when I set my mind on God and things above, my heart follows. Are our feelings valid? Absolutely! But we cannot always trust them. We have to filter them through our Father’s word. For that we need our minds. God says: “ Come, let us reason together”. ( Isa 1:18) He reasons with us, He overwhelms us with love - heart and mind. Our battle is not to let either get out of hand. It is dangerous to think our minds are somehow ‘in the way’ of true feeling or truth. I can only make sense of my feelings as I draw close to God in prayer and put His word in my mind and hide it in my heart. Heart and mind are linked. We have to be careful how we speak and how we define things, because many out there will not know the exact truth and it might end up really damaging their walk and belief in God. So many people fall into serious error and drift away from the true faith because they pay little attention to the mind or think it is a hindrance to knowing God. God created our minds and our ability to think and it is good! Like all He has created.
Ross, “you are a child of God, God is your Father, Heaven is your home, everyday is one day nearer, your Savior is your Brother, every Christian is your brother too” You have such a beautiful heart! Genesis 50:20 comes to mind. Your mother needs healing and we know our Lord is the great Physician 🙌🏽
My parents divorced when I was 4 and I grew up with a lot of hang ups about men, put simply - I’ve always been terrified and self conscious around them. After several failed relationships I ended up adopting my daughter as a single mother. I am acutely aware of how important a healthy father figure is, so I worry my hang ups won’t be healed in time for her to have a father as she grows up. This conversation gives me hope...
Beautiful testimony! When I heard where he evangelized I immediately thought of Ray Comfort, it would be nice if he met Ray, he would learn a lot from him.
Wow what a great testimony!!! I'm taking so many things from this. Don't fret, be genuine, remember the other person HAS to have a deep down yearning in the soul that you haven't had to live with for so long, be truthful but so genuine that they cannot dent the presence of God/Christ in you. We have nothing to fear when we walk in the love and living presence of God. Thank you!!!!
Sorry, but, I'm born and raised in California and I can guarantee you that there are MANY MANY of us believers, spreading the Gospel and fighting the Good Fight of Faith against this wretched culture and agendas of this WORLD, not just state, of darkness! Pray for us!!
A lot of people grow up with Fathers who live in the home but aren't available or supportive so having a Father is no guarantee that you have a wonderful story-book Father figure relationship.
Glory to God! All things are possible with God. I am Believing for Ross’ mother to have an encounter with the true and living Christ and turn to Jesus ❤
What a dynamic young man, what a testimony Ross has. So grateful God saved Him to testify his story, saved for "such a time as this". Praying for Ross and his outreach. Trusting one day that his mom will come to the Lord. Shine-On Ross, Shine-On. Praise the Lord!!!
Thank you so much for your testimony. I continue to pray for our children and share truth and love. It isn’t easy. God is sustaining me and I pray He breaks through their confusion and brings them into His truth and love.
So great to see you what a wonderful young man you've become. And I also want to say despite your mum's lifestyle I think she has done a wonderful raising you to be the good man you are today ❤
GOD bless you Ross Johnson. You are a fantastic example of what is happening to our society. I am so glad you have been saved. You explain so well what embracing an lgbtq society is doing to children. It also shows how social media influences people. Before all this we learned by watching how to interact with the opposite sex. And it was fun and enjoyable to learn. It also shows why we should go back to teaching our children about God. God has a plan for you and It seems you are using your gifts very well. Thank you! We need people like you to change our world.
My family moved to southern California during the dust bowl and has remained here. Pray for those of us who remain here. He's right though, there is something sprouting among the late teens, early 20s. Those kids are seeking and many are turning to Jesus. My sons yoing adult group is several hundred kids. They volunteer, do worship in public, and sharpen each other.
Great testimony! Love this interview and Ross your no nonsense approach to sharing with people is truly wonderful! This is God's heart. Thank you for sharing. ❤
