“I Threw It Away to Follow Jesus”: Ex-Trans Woman Breaks Down Over the 6 Words God Spoke to Him

Former transgender woman Jeffrey McCall organized the “Freedom March” in D.C. this weekend, an event designed to shine the transformative light of Christ through those who left the transgender lifestyle to follow Him.

“This Freedom March was about the transformation power of the Holy Spirit, not about conversion therapy that all these media publications have published,” McCall shared in his testimony. “That’s not what we’re about. We’re about the Jesus Christ of Nazareth. When you follow him, if your inside’s clean, the outside will follow.”

For years, McCall went by the identity of a woman named Scarlett. He had even been seeing psychiatrists and psychologists and was about to begin gender-altering surgeries.

But as he broke down in tears on stage, McCall explained that one day he was secretly listening to a preacher named Jentezen Franklin, — recalling that he wasn’t the type that would dare be seen in a church.

He recalls the conversation he had with the Lord in that moment like it was yesterday:

“I just remember I called out to the Lord, and I said, ‘Will I ever live for you? Because I know people live for you. I’ve seen real people live for you–not just going to church, but they have relationships with you, and they have peace and joy.”

“I had just wanted to kill myself,” McCall continued. “And I wasn’t in any conversion therapy from the world or anyone else. I was spiritually bankrupt; I was destitute. And I was being convicted by the Holy Spirit that there was so much more than anything I had been a part of.”

That life-altering night, God tore through his racing thoughts, tears, and numbing anxiety to whisper six words he’ll never forget: “Yes, you will live for me.”

However, even after the revelation from God, McCall still wasn’t quite ready to give up his identity as Scarlett yet. It took him a couple of months to come to the striking realization that if he was going to do this, he had to be ALL in.
