Thank you to Dr. J and The Dr. J Show for having me on to discuss my testimony and how we are regularly persecuted for simply existing. Rhoda laughed out loud when she heard Dr. J call me a unicorn. Yup, I’m Rhoda’s unicorn! (Rhoda’s life is all Rainbows, Unicorns, and butterflies!) [Watch on Locals!]
Daren Mehl is the President of Voice of the Voiceless, a non-profit organization that aims to defend the rights of people who are virtually never given a voice in the public square, and — in fact — often told that they don’t exist or are lying: Former homosexuals, individuals that have unwanted same-sex attraction, and the families of these truly marginalized people. He is a former homosexual who now lives as a disciple of Jesus and has received healing through Jesus. Mehl shares his testimony of coming out of a gay Christian lifestyle to live faithfully in marriage with his wife Rhoda of 18 years. He speaks frequently about the global attack on the Christian faith via the LGBTQ agenda and how we can respond in love, truth, and speak of the power of Jesus Christ to save and transform. He is currently a pastor at the community church where he lives and is also founder of Made Free Ministries. Note: In this interview, four categories of Christians are discussed: ”Side A” “Revel: Gay Partnership.” These professing “Christians” are gay-affirming and bless homosexual unions. The general belief is that one is born gay. “Side B” ”Resist: Gay Identity.” This group includes professing Christians who identify as gay, yet admit same-sex partnerships and sex are prohibited in the eyes of God. They choose celibacy. “Side X” “Renounce: or Repentance.” This group knows identity is not found in our desires but in Jesus Christ. Our fallen nature is the primary issue of same-sex struggles. “Side Y” “Rebuild: or Transformation” Identity is found in Christ and we must repent of sin, but the focus is on intentional discipleship to more profound healing, relational wholeness, and even newfound desires.
The Bible warns of a time when society will call evil good, and good evil. It seems as though we are living in such times. In this episode we will break down Andy Stanley’s recent statements regarding same-sex attractions and offer a response based on the Bible and our own experiences of finding freedom from sexual brokenness. #andystanleyheresy
Daren Mehl shares his testimony of coming out of the gay identity and lifestyle as a Christian on The Meeting House podcast with Bob Crittenden. Aired on Faith Radio June 22nd, 2023.
June is both a month of intense warfare for Daren Mehl and a time to thank God for the radical rescue mission that saved him. Years ago, Daren and his future wife were both same-sex attracted – but one touch of the Holy Spirit changed everything. They repented and turned toward a journey of healing and discipleship in Jesus!
Today, Daren serves as Associate Pastor of Warroad Community Church and is Associate Director of Agape First Ministries, an organization that helps people struggling with sexual and gender identity while standing for Biblical truth.

Agape First Ministry strongly condemns Minnesota Governor Walz’s executive order 23-03. When the Governor passes orders in lieu of waiting for legislation to be discussed in committees and receive public scrutiny, he usurps the people and demonstrates he is lawless by passing his own laws in contradiction to the Minnesota Constitution Article 3 – separation of powers. This executive order is effectively the “transgender child kidnapping” order.
This pattern is demonstrating his opinion in executive orders that he can have the effect of law by simply disregarding existing law proves he is lawless. He is unfit for office as he has broken his oath to uphold the Minnesota Constitution.
Executive Order 23-03This section of the executive order is the intent of HF146, however Gov Walz doesn’t want to wait for the bill to be discussed and considered by the legislators elected by the people. He is taking it upon himself to disregard the existing laws and giving himself permission to ignore the existing extradition, subpoena, and judgements agreements in law that we have with other states. He does this in the name of “LGBTQ+ rights”.
Agape First Ministries calls on all good Minnesotans to put an end to the transgendering of children. Agape First Ministries calls on all good Minnesotans to uphold the truth that no person is born in the wrong body and that God has done a great work in making us male or female as indicated by our sex at birth. Agape First Ministries calls on all good Minnesotans to love their neighbor well by rejecting harmful transgender ideology that is unbecoming and dehumanizing to the dignity of the individual as created male or female in the image of our Creator.
We have provided a preview of what Minnesota HF146 contains so you can understand how the executive order is attempting to accomplish by edict what should be done by legislation.
