Jonathan sits down for a clear, frank discussion with friend Rev. Brian Barlow, the pastor of Grace Lutheran Church in Banning, CA.  

Brian shares his heartfelt testimony of sexual brokenness and subsequent transformation by the Lord which eventually led to a ministry to the sexually and relationally broken and church pastorate. 

Rev. Barlow, in addition to pastoring, serves with many local and national ministries including Lutheran’s for Life, Y4Life, LINC-LA and Help4Families. He also served as Regional Director for Desert Stream Ministries, SoCal from 2016-2020.
