Rev Daren Mehl – The War on Transformation Testimony – Freedom United
Reverend Daren Mehl shares his testimony and the war that was going on inside him and outside him to destroy the promises and will of God in his life. Daren shares the power of Jesus to save and restore him from a life in homosexuality to one of life married to his wife. Daren shares of overcoming the battle through faith in Jesus Christ. Daren also discusses the religious war that is around us that is trying to make the testimony of Jesus illegal. The present darkness which is lying and robbing people of hope in Christ cannot stand after Daren shares the power of Jesus to transform.

Differing Views – 4 Columns of LGBT Doctrines (PDF)
The document was created by Portland Fellowship and is a very useful discussion guide to quickly explain the doctrines found in the LGBTQ space.
Agape First Ministries has a breakout session as part of Freedom United to go into this in depth.
This is a useful reference and teaching aid, the four columns document helps us quickly reflect on the main doctrines around LGBTQ issues. Side A/Side B Progressive Gay Christianity? Resist temptation for life, or heart and mind transformation? Is there change of desire in Jesus resulting in no more desire for sodomy? Yes, Jesus Transforms.
Research – 39% of GenZ Identify as LGBTQ
Agape First Ministries will help the church understand how to bring people who identify as LGBTQ to repentance and into the church as disciples of Jesus. We will help the church wield the hope for transformation we have in Jesus with faithfulness to scripture and the promises of being made like Christ. We have a challenge before us that we can overcome with love and truth.
Additionally, we found this report which speaks to the worldview of Pastors today. I think these go hand and hand to explain how we’ve arrived at 39% of Gen Z identifying as LGBTQ. The doctrines being taught make room for that.

Lazarus – Come Out!
Rev. Daren Mehl shares a message about loving people coming out of LGBTQ. Jesus calls them out of the tomb, and we get to participate and obey Jesus by removing the death cloths and washing the person and helping to disciple them in the body of believers. And yet, some will see what Jesus did, and what we are doing, and go to the Pharisees. But don’t mind them.
Reverend Daren Mehl is Associate Director of Agape First Ministries. He is a missionary in the United States working to make the name of Jesus famous, to disciple the nations in the transformative power of Jesus.
