My Secret Place

As a preacher’s son at Jerry Falwell’s conservative Liberty University, Jonathan Ervin wanted to impact lives. A talented singer, he looked poised for a career in Christian music, but that never happened. That’s because he started to live a lifestyle God wouldn’t honor — in a very secret place.But in 2007, in front of thousands, he confessed to homosexuality and an AIDS diagnosis. He also testified to a miracle. With his numbers at critical levels, years went by, but he remained in extraordinary health. Doctors called him “a walking miracle.” Leaving his old lifestyle behind, he was singing praises once again — to a God who renovates lives.
