My life was pure hell. Though I knew that I was supposed to die to my flesh, I never could reconcile my faith with that of the gay lifestyle. In every relationship I had, God was a problem. Even when I went to a gay church, the justification of a gay lifestyle was so extra-biblical that I couldn’t reconcile it.

Then I found help by reading a book called Growth into Manhood that changed a lot for me, as well as by seeking the face of God. My utmost desire, from a very early age, was to serve Him.

Now I am married and have a three-year-old daughter who I wouldn’t trade for anything. My wife and I have always been open. I don’t have to hide or feel ashamed of what Jesus took me out of. I have a big support system. My masculinity is assured in God as I lead my family.

I'm a dreamer, a lover, an idealist, a futurist, a creative, a follower, and a friend. I'm a lot of things we have titles for, but strip it all down to find what's left—who I really am after seasons and years and cities and nations—I'm loved by God and I'm discovering how to live with Him. I'm on a journey that is ambiguous for the nearsighted yet clearly defined in retrospect—becoming fully alive. It's predictably unpredictable to me in the moment but always leads to where I want to be, even before I know where that is. I often share about the process of finding and living the life Jesus has paid for—the abundant life.  Find out more at abramgoff.com
