In today's episode, Becket Cook interviews Kawe, who shares his powerful testimony of God's mercy and transformative healing. Born in Japan to Brazilian parents, Kawe moved to America at age nine, navigating cultural shifts, family yelling that left him feeling unsafe, bullying over his sensitive nature, and the deep struggles of same-sex attraction and p0*rn addiction. He opens up about suppressing emotions, developing stomach issues rooted in fear of man and shame, and his desperate search for answers while trying to honor God.

Kawe's story highlights his radical encounter with God's jealous love, learning sonship and grace through Romans 8, resting in Christ instead of earning love, and finding freedom from the root insecurities in masculinity that fueled his same-sex attraction.
