We Were Married As Two Men. Now We're Husband And Wife With 3 Kids. | Nic Renick

Can you be gay and be a Christian? Nic Renick lived inside that question for
years, and his answer will make both sides uncomfortable.

In this Stuff God Never Said episode, Audrey Cauthen sits down with Nic Renick
for one of the most honest ex gay testimonies you will ever hear. Nic came out
at 15. He spent three years in Hawaii chasing New Age spirituality and
psychedelics, looking for healing he never found. He married a partner who was
living as a man. Then his wife laid down her transgender identity, and Nic had
to face his own.

This is a gay-toChristian testimony and a detransition story told from the
husband's side. Nic talks about the childhood wounds underneath his sexual
identity. He talks about the church hurt that almost ended his faith. He talks
about what biblical masculinity actually looks like, and it is not what most
men have been sold.

Nic and Lex Renick were married as two men. Today they are husband and wife
raising three kids and running Revive Traveling Ministry full time. Along the
way there was a medical outcome her own doctor could not explain.

Nic does not soften the truth and he does not reach for shame. He has a word
for the church about how it treats people walking in this, and a word for the
people the church has already pushed away.
If you have a son, a brother, or a friend in this, watch to the end. Nic
answers exactly what to do and what not to do.
