Ep 748 | From Drag Queen & Drug Dealer to Jesus Follower | Guest: Benjamin Blake Howard

Today we’re joined by Benjamin Blake Howard, pastor and author of "From Mascara to Manhood," to discuss his story of leaving a life of homosexuality and drag queen performance and finding the Lord. We discuss his upbringing and what events led to him creating his “drag character,” as well as why it was so appealing to him at the time. He shares about his decision to leave drag behind, his struggle with homosexuality, and how he ended up at a ministry school (of all places), where he ultimately found true healing and redemption in Christ. He offers some encouragement and advice on how to reach those who are struggling as he did.
