Ken Williams Ministries
Ken Williams is a pastor at Bethel Church in Redding, CA who helps others find & live out their true identities. He is a writer, teacher and minister.
I struggled with homos*xuality, codependency, p**n, and ma********on for years. After many failed attempts at freedom, I encountered God in ways that transformed me! I’ve been happily married to a woman since 2006, and I'm a licensed pastor @ Bethel Church (Redding, CA). I also serve Moral Revolution (moralrevolution.com) & co-founded a ministry called Equipped to Love (equippedtolove.com). Today,
I had the opportunity to be on my good friend Janet Boynes’s podcast. Hope you enjoy…

From Robert A. J. Gagnon, Ph. D.
So gooooood!
“There is so much confusion about Paul's view on faith and good works. Once more, the terminology Paul used to characterize the Christian's relationship to the law makes clear Paul did not think Christians were under the jurisdiction of the Law of Moses. Christians are no longer …
"under the law" or its curse
within its "lordship"
"bound" and "held down" by it
"enclosed" or "kept under guard" or "imprisoned" under it
"enslaved" to it
"held accountable" or "liable" to its judgment
This does not mean that Paul believed that obedience to God's will was optional. It means that the Law of Moses given at Sinai is no longer in force (which includes many ritual and civil commands whose application was limited to Israel in the period prior to Christ when a theocracy was in place). But since the God who gave the Law to Moses is the same God of Jesus Christ, there is obviously a lot of continuity in what God still expects in "the law of Christ."
No persons can merit or deserve salvation based on what they do. Salvation is based on what God does. God alone gets the credit. No human can boast that he has deserved salvation from God.
Nevertheless, obedience to God's will is a necessary byproduct of true saving faith, since justifying faith is a "yes" to the indwelling Christ being the controlling influence of our lives. "I no longer live but Christ lives in me and the life that I now live I live by faith in the Son of God who loved me so much that he handed himself over for me" (Gal 2:20). Those who don't bear the fruit of obedience demonstrate that they lack saving or justifying faith.
When James 2 states that we are not justified by faith alone, the author is using faith in the sense of mere intellectual assent to the truth. This is not what Paul means by faith. Paul means a holistic reorientation of one's life toward the truth of the gospel, a real trust in Christ. In the sense that Paul uses the word "faith," we are justified by faith, not by the deeds stipulated in the law to be done ("the works of the law"), through the atoning death of Christ, which salvation God graciously made available at greatest cost to himself to those who deserved and merited nothing. For that reason we boast in God alone.
A transformed life in obedience to God's commands is a necessary byproduct of one's faith in Christ. It's not optional. But that doesn't mean that one in any way earns, merits, or deserves one's salvation.
Salvation is made possible by Christ's atoning death, which Jesus himself made clear when he declared that he came to give his life as a "ransom (price of release from slavery or captivity) for many" (Mark 10:45), and when he announced at the Last Supper that his "blood of the covenant" was being "poured out for the many" echoing the Suffering Servant text in Isaiah 53:12. Without Christ's amends-making death and gift of his own Spirit, we are toast. Our obedience is a necessary but undeserved response to God's prevenient grace.
Professed Christians can get it wrong at both ends. They can get it wrong by thinking that they have done something that merits (deserves, earns) their salvation. They can also get it wrong by thinking that since salvation is God's doing (which it is) their obedience to God is optional. Both of these erroneous views are heretical.”

CHANGED is a grassroots network of people who have left LGBTQ behind. Those who voluntarily choose to join us share the desire to live authentically consistent with our faith. We believe in allowing all people who identify as LGBTQ to pursue their individual life goals, including the option to seek compassionate, change-allowing approaches consistent with their desires and faith.
Many of us at CHANGED have experienced the pain and hurt portrayed in this film, so we are committed to protecting only safe pathways for those seeking to follow their faith wholeheartedly, including honoring an orthodox biblical s*xual ethic. We reject the use of any forms of physical violence, force, manipulation, shame, or humiliation. Such methods are harmful, abusive, and unethical. For us, Christian community is a hope-filled, empowering, and fulfilling family in which we are cherished and truly belong.
Pray Away elevates the LGBTQ worldview above biblical s*xual ethics and Chrisitan doctrine. We invite anyone seeking a true and accurate understanding of CHANGED to go beyond the claims presented in the film by reading or watching online some of the thousands of testimonies of thriving and hope-filled individuals who have followed their faith away from LGBTQ through discipleship, support, encouragement and counseling.
Can't believe the wonderful write up that The Blaze gave regarding my Daily Signal podcast interview and my book.

Pastor details his personal journey following Jesus 'away from gay' after molestation, p**nography exposure Pastor Ken Williams of Bethel Church in Redding, California, says that members of the LGBTQ community do not need to struggle alone against their s*xuality and can, instead, turn to Jesus to deal with their same-s*x attraction.

CBN News just published an article about me. Hope it encourages some folks. The commentary that everyone is happy living a LGBTQ life does not play out in real life. Many want a way out. That's why this is a hotly debated issue. If nobody wanted out of that life, there would be no drama.
My new book, which they mention, is available at www.thejourneyout.me

Should we have deep compassion for those who feel like they were born into the wrong body? Definitely! They're in major pain! Loving someone means helping them with the same kind of care we'd want for ourselves. Care that brings true resolution and healing.
Queery Theory and wokeness offer nothing substantial to gender-confused people. Meds and surgeries don't improve the statistics for suicidality or flourishing for these people. They only do physical harm, sterilize, and create lifelong medical patients. These beautiful people need listening ears, nurture, ministry/therapy, and Jesus' gentle love.
This worldwide deception that people can be born into the wrong body is beginning to crumble. Thank God! Different governments are moving now to ban trans-ing of children. Dare to be one who sensitively speaks up for what people truly NEED, not what a deluded woke culture is parroting.
For help with gender confusion or LGBTQ pains, see my new book at www.thejourneyout.me.
That those who are “in Christ” are merely sinners saved by grace is heresy. We WERE that. But we are not anymore. 2 Cor 5:17. New creations, baby. Capable of sin, but no longer sinners. We are saints. And if we’ll believe it, that will become real and experiential for us by the precious blood of Jesus Christ and by the power of His resurrection. We must “reckon ourselves,” according to Rom. 6:11.
The way LGBTQ feelings impact people is different for every unique person. Mandates of only one path forward for these people is cruel. God cares. I wrote a book about how Jesus led me out of LGBTQ. www.thejourneyout.me

(Ps. 121)
What I didn't know was that my LGBTQ feelings had very little to do with s*x but had tons to do with my sense of love, belonging, value, etc. Basically...they were related to intimacy. Deficits of true intimacy. Once I learned that God was real, present, and could be communicated with, everything changed. My focus was no longer on my s*xuality or on my s*xual desires. My focus was Him. And His sheep hear His voice. Transformation and discipleship begin there.

I was interviewed by Sid Roth about my new book and my journey. What a great man of God!

It's so much easier to get one's identity from the way we feel—from our arousals, desires, past behaviors. The gospel of Jesus invited me to believe differently. Eventually, God convinced me that my identity was male—man of God. No adjectives or qualifiers. Simple but profound in impact. www.thejourneyout.me
When I finally began to experience God as my Father, life became doable. Hope was within reach. His love filled all my gaps and drew me in. The church of the future will need to offer practical access to Father's love in order to meet the needs of all people, particularly those struggling with their s*xuality. So I broke that down in my book, The Journey OUT. www.thejourneyout.me
5 minutes from my heart on.... Why I wrote my book, The Journey OUT: How I Followed Jesus Away from Gay. FMI: www.thejourneyout.me
In John 10, Jesus said: "My sheep hear my voice, and I know them and they follow Me." We don't know how to heal ourselves or address our own issues. But He does. Learning to lean into Him and to listen for His instruction changed my life. He has great things to say!

Democrat Introduces Bill To Ban Minors From Getting Transgender-Reassignment Surgery, Treatments South Carolina Democrat state Rep. Cezar McKnight (D-101) has introduced legislation to ban minors from undergoing transgender-reassignment surgery and from receiving medications from doctors to alter gender or delay puberty.
To have disdain for masculinity is sin. The sin I was so guilty of for so long. Men fail us. Sometimes horrifically. And that must stop. Such men need to repent. But God’s male-and-female plan for humanity is divine. No other plan works, gives life, or propagates the human race.
Father arrested in Canada for referring to his biological daughter as “her.” America’s freedoms of conscience, speech, and religion are not guaranteed. They could disappear in a matter of months/years. And this current administration is hell bent on mandating q***r theory. Disagreeing with government ideology can land someone in prison now in westernized countries.
