In this episode, Healing & Made Free host Janet Boynes talks with Joshua Rowand, a former Assemblies of God pastor who walked through secret sin, public confession, and
complete transformation by the grace of God.

Joshua grew up in church, served faithfully, and even led ministries overseas — all
while living with hidden homosexual sin. When the truth came out, Joshua lost
everything he had built... but found the one thing he was missing: true freedom in
Christ.

Through tears, honesty, and redemption, Joshua shares:

• His struggles with identity and acceptance growing up as a pastor's kid
• How unhealed wounds can open doors to sin
• The moment God called him out of darkness
• His powerful encounter with grace at Pure Life Ministries
• What real repentance and healing look like

This episode is a raw and redemptive story of hope for anyone caught in shame, fear, or
sin — and proof that God's mercy never runs out.
