He Was Raised by Two Lesbian Moms: Ross Johnston Talks Pride, LGBTQ+, and Finding Jesus
Ross Johnston’s story is anything but ordinary. Conceived through artificial insemination and raised by two moms, Ross grew up far from church and never expected to follow Jesus. But at 15, one simple invitation changed everything.
In this conversation with Lecrae, Ross opens up about navigating faith, identity, and family tension—while still loving and honoring his mom. They discuss the cultural shift in the LGBTQ community, the biblical call to truth and love, and what it means to find your identity in Christ alone.
From street preaching in Hollywood to leading revivals nationwide, Ross shares powerful testimonies of transformation and freedom, and why he believes the presence of God—not just arguments—changes lives.
If you’ve wrestled with how to love people well without compromising your convictions, this conversation is a must-watch.
📍 Topics include:
– Growing up with two moms & coming to faith
– The shift in LGBTQ activism over the years
– Balancing truth and love in hard conversations
– Why the presence of God matters more than persuasion
– Testimonies from the streets and revival events
