Two Moms, No Dad: Ross Johnston's Story and the Impact on Family

Ross Johnston's Early Life and Spiritual Journey

• 💡 Born via artificial insemination and raised by two lesbian mothers, Ross had no religious upbringing or concept of God, the Bible, or traditional family structures.
• 🙏 At 15 years old, he attended church for the first time, experiencing a profound sense of hope and value, leading him to surrender his life to Jesus.
• 📖 His spiritual awakening revealed the importance of God's design for family, understanding it as a foundational command from the Creator, not just a political issue.

The Impact of a Non-Traditional Upbringing

• 🏡 Despite having material comforts, Ross felt an "orphan spirit," characterized by a mentality of "me versus the world" and a lack of security about the future.
• 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 He observed that friends' homes with a mother and father felt "healthy and safe," leading him to prefer being there over his own home, despite his love for his biological mother.
• 💔 Ross recognized a "God void" in his heart that could not be filled by culture or entertainment, only by knowing God as his personal Father.

Redefining Family and Societal Consequences

• ⚖️ The redefinition of marriage, particularly after Obergefell, led to the redefinition of parenthood, effectively denying children the right to a mother and a father.
• 🚫 Ross highlights the innate longing for biological parents that society previously acknowledged, but now dismisses as "bigotry" if expressed by those from non-traditional families.
• ⚠️ The speaker notes that "darkness is never satisfied," illustrating how the LGBTQ+ movement has progressed from seeking recognition to pushing an agenda that redefines fundamental truths, leading to societal chaos.

Personal Relationships and Spiritual Warfare

• 🤝 Ross never naturally called his mother's non-biological partner "mom," feeling a lack of genuine connection compared to his biological mother, despite her care.
• 😈 His biological mother's shift to a lesbian lifestyle occurred during a vulnerable period after her mother's death, suggesting a spiritual manipulation that exploited her pain.
• ⚔️ Ross emphasizes that the struggle is not against "flesh and blood" but against spiritual influences, with the "spirit of lust" being a common force behind various expressions of sexual confusion.

Ministry, Revival, and Reformation

• 📣 Ross's ministry, "California Will Be Saved," conducts large outdoor events across California, preaching the gospel, baptizing, and advocating for family values.
• 🤝 He stresses the need for revival and reformation to work together, arguing that past revivals, like the Jesus movement, failed to prevent cultural decline (e.g., Roe v. Wade) because they didn't engage in societal reformation.
• 🚀 Ross calls for Christians to take action and stand for foundational truth in this critical hour, believing that impacting California can lead to broader national and global change.
