The TRAGIC Truth About Donnie McClurkin's Sexuality Struggles & Life Story - Megachurch Messiness

fact: Not all gay people were abused or come from bad homes. Some straight ppl were abused and come from bad homes and are still straight. Moral of the story there is no link between childhood trauma and whether one is straight or gay.

@@DaniaAbraham-z3nI don’t think it’s that simple, I think the truth is in the middle. You are right there are people abused that are not gay, and there are people that are gay without any abuse, but there are people that have been abused by the same sex and a gay. The impact of childhood abuse is intense and can show up in life in various ways. I think it’s just very complex all around.

Yes and he don’t need to be a pastor. Jesus don’t deliver you. You have to make a choice to change and not blame others or use excuses that not real repentance and he will go though the some circle. He have to take responsibility for his choices and than chose right. Jesus isn’t going to make you choose right he there to help but He said out of his our month you have to take up your cross. It gets easier down the road but you have to make a real first step. That means not going around the thing that made you let sinning,drop being a pastor your not fit (like having a overly fat person as you fitness trainer), stop doing or being around anything that make you fall back. That is like cut off a hand for someone people and that what Jesus meant by cutting off your hand to into in heaven. It not a magic pill that is a quick, painless fix. You going to want LOVE him so much you willing to change your life around for him. A lot of people that claim they believe and love God Almighty don’t do this. That believe the lie that there no sin but they mind keep bothering them and very them no peace and that God Almighty talking to them trying to real save them. You can over come and you read about it in the Bible. You run from sin you know he weak with. You study His words and keep his laws building a relationship with Him. You run the race and note you have to run it. You can’t say Jesus is going to do it all I just stand back (clearly he wants to have his cake and eat it too). The Bible keep telling us to chose the right, reject the wrong. Roman 1 is saying what going on with him in a deeper heart level. Until that is addressed he going to go around the same mountain like the Israelite did in the wilderness.

On my way to work ab a month or two ago I heard him on the radio he read a comment from one of the listeners who said his show and his music has been helping her a few months since the day her 14 year old son randomly died in his sleep. Donnie read this and broke down live on the air. They went to commercial and then came back and he was still crying. He ended the show sniffling and still trying to gather himself. I thought that was rare empathy he showed and appreciated hearing someone cry for a stranger and a little kid he never knew.

[@saturdayschild8535]

Truth is, most “fathers” leave the child rearing to the mothers. Their presence in the home is experienced as a pit stop by the spouse and kids. But they play up the most godly and active father image outside of the home. It’s sad. The kids and spouse deserve better. These are often the men working more hours than necessary because they can do what they want outside of the home. They tell others that their wife and kids don’t appreciate their sacrifices. The spouse and kids ARE the sacrifices. God did not intend this for marriage or families. It’s really sad.

[@sreamingonline6160]

I agree whole heartedly. When I was a teen and into my 20’s every person that I KNEW. I me personally, that was gay was because they molested or raped. If they were a boy and it was there first time then, that’s they’re experience of sexual pleasure because even though it hurt them and they didn’t want it, they more than likely still had a chemical reaction. As far as girls go, my theory is that they just became afraid of men. Nowadays, it’s pushed on everyone and I don’t care what no one says, behavior is learned. You don’t come out the womb knowing anything regarding anything, not just sexual orientation. So beliefs and values are instilled in you by the the adults you are around, the things you see on tv, internet, radio, books, school, etc. There’s also a Gay manifesto that was entered into congress in the late 80’s. It’s ratchet, look it up. It’s there for all view.

Men like me needed someone to blame, so we blame it on the men who hurt us, but truth is we were already gay, we just didn’t know while the abusers who were older did.

[@Starchild729]

There is nothing wrong with having faith and leaning on the Lord to get through difficult times. However, I feel that Donnie could benefit so much from therapy to work through his childhood trauma.

‘Back in my day you had to TARRY!’ What a time, lol. Auntie Regina got another hit 🎉😂❤

When Aunty Regina said "That sounds like some BS!!" That took me out!! I was thinkn the same thing then she said it 😂😂😂💯💯💯💯

Hi, besties! Can't wait to chat with you all during today's live video! ♥

Church is all about a money grab!

[@nwatson2773]

I like Donnie McClurkin, his music has given me peace and hope. When I read he had overcome his homosexuality, it sounded fishy! I wish him the best.

[@lindas.johnson4779]

🥀One of the reasons his music touches our hearts, is because, it reflects his journey. God be with you Pastor Donnie⚘️

[@chondageorge3379]

This is so sad. I read his book when he talked about his entire family trauma. Such a talented man with struggles. His music has been such a blessing to the world. I pray GOD continues to help him heal.

[@ruthc2967]

What a painful and sad story!! Yet in spite of all his brokenness God still used him to be a blessing to others through his music. I pray for total (mind, body and soul) healing for Donne McClurkin! - 🙏🙏 Amen!

[@YezzyYae88]

“We Fall Down” & “Stand” are literally classics & gospel anthems! I pray that Donnie McClurkin knows that he is loved & he will never be judged! His music especially songs “Speak to my Heart” literally saved my heart 🙏🏾smh sexual abuse literally destroy innocence no child should go through that ever! Child molesters & rapists are evil literally evil!

[@ShannonMichelle7937]

I’m 36 seconds in to this video and I’ve already dropped my phone and snorted laughing at “ 🎶 We fall down, and we eat SNACKS 🎶 “ 💀 😂😂😂 I love these videos. Thank you RRG ❤

[@tarahill308]

It’s so evil how many guys been done like this as a child n the cycle continues. You are not your predator. Sad how bad energy is real n is hard to shake. Most people Dnt understand the disfunction they cause many generations from selfish acts.

[@DrineThePoet]

I have his songs on repeat since childhood they hit deep. His childhood was horrible...noone protected him smh. Many of us can relate to that pain. His mom was wrong to blame Donnie for baby brothers passing though. Wishing him the best in life and healing. 😢🙏🏽💚 We Fall Down will always be an anthem in my home.

[@rusticization]

RRG family, thank you so much for sharing this Donnie McClurkin episode. I am personally going through the same situation he is going through.

[@rrg]

Love you bestie! Sending you big hugs ♥

[@jkayin07]

I hope all will be well with you soon . Please take care

[@tmiles9747]

Are you struggling with self acceptance, abuse, and/or how people will view you? These are rhetorical & you deserve to live a happy life.

[@jeralee23]

I saw him at an airport in May with his band. He looked so joyous and full of life. He was literally walking and singing. I hope he heals because that’s a horrible experience.

[@poeticlovee]

I commend him for being so vulnerable and transparent with his past. One love. ❤️

[@Blissfulbloom768]

I love how people are commenting gracefully because we all know how trauma messes people up but also this man has gained alot of respect from people,,,,he may fall but genuinely he wants to do better

[@Irreplaceable39]

I absolutely love Donnie. He is so strong. In the song we fall down you can HEAR and FEEL his pain. I'm glad he was delivered.

[@Nicole-yy7ei]

Poor Donnie... He definitely needs healing, therapy ,acceptance. But he also needs to be honest with what he really wants & live your life.

[@chocolatediamonds5760]

💯💯

[@El_Roi75]

I truly respect Pastor McClurkin, bc it’s so very hard to admit our faults, sins, and especially to admit them to others. God is the way, the truth and the light. Only God forgives and guides us. Prayers sir, real talk ❤🙏🏽

[@CookieWoods.]

Idk too much abt his personal life, but his musical talent is unmatched!! His song, I’ll Trust You Lord, helped me get thru the death of one of my favorite Aunties. 😇 but on a lighter note @RRG that last note you hit didn’t quite land! 🫣😂🤣

[@HoneyLoveReactions]

Wow, We Fell Down was released 24 years ago 🥴🫤🫢 Time really flies 🙄

[@kishagreen4578]

I have heard Donnie story before. I feel sorry for him. It's heartbreaking. Hope he finds the healing he needs. Side note: That good job ninja took me out.❤

[@kalilah413]

I saw Donnie McClurkin in concert three different times at church, beautiful and anointed music

[@chocolatethunder192]

Your commentary at 15:39 took me all the way out!!!🤣😂😅😆🤣

[@deoniseC-js4wo]

Donnie is a very down to earth person. He was a customer of mine. I didn't know who he was at the time. I am glad I had the opportunity to meet him. 💗 his voice🔥😍🙏

[@CK-yo7ub]

The fact that this man didn't end up in someone's mental asylum or being a crack fiend on the corner is a miracle in it's self. The history of s. violation and being blamed for his brother's death...I can't imagine😓

[@4real266]

This is what repentance looks like, and he is an exemplary man of God. A testimony of what God can do when we surrender. 🙏

[@latonyajones2812]

That TD Jake’s meme be sending me 😂😂😂

Always 🤣

[@DH-uw3us]

The shade of it all lol.

[@kenaleethorney7984]

This video makes me view 'we fall down ' with so much more admiration . Like a real life testimony.

[@opulence_prime]

4 years aligns with limerence. Going into remission sounds like an event brought on by stress or psychosis. I was unaware of this guys story. But wow. Wishing him all the best.

[@OhGodSheALeo]

He likey the men's! Just be who u actually are. Crazy how he's holding himself captive! Great video besties! ❤

[@wselenag45]

Right!! He's worried about how others will feel and say about him, but the damage is done, sad to say, but he will be free if he will just be with men, he has been fighting it for years!!

[@twistedfenderchick]

I did not know this about Donnie. My heart absolutely hurts for him and his childhood experience.

[@Gigi-fq5ov]

"HERE WE GO!" with Kenan gets me every time. Aaaahaha!!

[@obasigreen828]

God Bless Donnie McClurkin. Hopefully he can heal successfully from his past struggles. I grew up on quite a bit of his stuff. Wishing him all the best 🙏🏾

[@KimontheWeb]

I'm from Detroit...my heart goes out to Pastor Donnie...love him and his family....I met him on a few occasions (we shared the same publicist before) and got a different version of him every time lol one occasion he was flirty and kissed my hand...another occasion he was trying to dodge me bc I acted like a stalker sitting next to him at a radio promo event and I answered all the interviewers questions about him for him lol another occasion he tiredly autographed his book for me...one day he'll realize he was supposed to marry me all along to wipe away the pain...til then I'll guess he'll remain lonely lol just kiiiidding...longtime fellow minister and Donnie supporter here, he'll always be in my heart and I wish him the best and continued success happiness and love with whoever he chooses 🙏🏾❤

[@AtheneHolder]

I read that whatever age you go through major trauma at, is the age you're stuck at. This man came in the world feeling unloved (trauma), lost his bro (trauma) got violated (trauma) never got to grieve (trauma) He needs a mother even at his age now. So sad. Hurt people, hurt people. 😢 No wonder he's one of my favourite voices, the emotion in his voice is from a real place

[@ingridgarland1698]

I am so sorry you had to go through this trauma in a young age. I hope you had see a good therapist to help you heal and forgive the people that hurt you. God be with you always. I Love You thank you for your music. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@tonymcdonnly6492]

I pray for Donnie's true deliverance.

[@SupaBlessedAries]

You can feel how he struggles in his music but any broken person can relate no matter what it is 🙏🏽❤️

[@jonathanpatterson4558]

[@TwistedTexures]

May God bless and keep Donnie McClurkin. There are no big or little sins, no judgement. His anointing has bless me over the years and helped me through some difficult times.

Not too much on Donnie. He seems like one of the more genuine ones! He’s so talented. May God bless him!

[@eddedream8586]

I agree a lot of weird things go down in churches I'm still not past the part where they sent a virgin to a gay conversion camp 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄 🤔🤔🤔🤔🧐🧐🧐🧐🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️ Make that make sense How does he need conversion from being gay when he's never been sexual before 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯 And then the sweet irony of him being raped and his virginity being stolen at the conversion camp 👿👿👿👿
