- That emotional encounter preceded a sky‑gazing moment where Davidson says the Lord came into his life and his identity changed overnight.
Childhood Attractions And Postconversion Disappointment
- Davidson first noticed attractions to older men around age nine or ten while also experiencing attraction to girls, creating a confusing mixed‑attraction pattern.
- After conversion at 18 he was disappointed that attractions remained, causing depression but also determination to serve God.
