Today, we\u2019re joined by\xa0Ross Johnston, founder of\xa0California Will Be Saved, to share his story, from being donor-conceived and born to a lesbian mother to committing his life to Christ and full-time ministry. Ross shared what it was like growing up with his mother and her partner and why it was so strange to branch out and experience the presence of God during his first visit to church. We discuss the role of fathers and how God became the father that Ross never had. We also talk about grappling with God's design for marriage despite his upbringing and having open conversations with his mother in the hopes that she will hear biblical truth.\xa0\n\n---\n\nTimecodes:\n\n(01:39) Ross' upbringing\n(12:28) Becoming a Christian\n(17:48) Working out God's design for marriage & purity\n(21:28) Not having a father growing up\n(22:58) Responding to gay marriage / lifestyles\n(32:04) Conversations with Ross' mother\n(35:17) Biological father / mentors\n(37:44) Future of fatherhood\n(40:47) California Will Be Saved\n\n---\n\nToday's Sponsors:\n\nGood Ranchers \u2014 get $30 OFF your box today at GoodRanchers.com \u2013 make sure to use code 'ALLIE' when you subscribe.
