EP 22 | Transgender to Transformed: Diego’s Testimony

Diego lost his father at 6, was exposed to childhood abuse, and spent years searching for identity and belonging — eventually living as a transgender woman for six years. Behind the hormones, surgeries, and social media highlight reel, he was battling depression, gender dysphoria, and suicidal thoughts. Everything changed when his sister shared her testimony and Diego had a supernatural encounter with Jesus that transformed his identity from the inside out.

This raw, powerful conversation covers childhood trauma, the reality of gender dysphoria, the moment God shut the door on his old life, and the spiritual warfare he faced during detransition.
