Megachurch Pastor John Gray has publicly apologized to his wife, Aventer, and thousands of followers for inappropriate relationships that almost ended his marriage and ministry, detailing his past sexual repression and childhood sexual abuse manipulated by demonic forces.
The couple says their marriage is in a better place thanks to God and therapy. And they are sharing their story as a testimony to help other couples who may be struggling.
"I want to say to Aventer, I want to thank you for showing me what the love of Christ looks like because you loved a very unlovable man. And I want to tell you how very sorry I am for the pain I caused," said Gray during a recent episode of Laterras R. Whitfield's podcast "Dear Future Wifey," recorded at Gray's Love Story Church (formerly Relentless Church) in Greenville, South Carolina.
"I've never said this, but to the people who knew that God called me but saw the headlines of a failure and a failing and a brokenness that you didn't know the origin of, for the people who were deeply disappointed, I want to say I'm sorry," Gray added.
This is a bit of a long read but is well worth linking into it. Some tragic, graphic vignettes with realistic spiritual happenings may be a little shocking for some, but are quite real, although I'm not sure he apologized to God for breaking his marriage vows. What do you think?
