I Was Not Born In The Wrong Body: Finding My True Identity In Jesus I Casie Heart

Welcome back to The Matt Richardson Podcast. Today, I am joined by Casey Hartwig for an incredible story of redemption, identity, and the power of the Gospel.

After years of struggling with same-sex attraction and feeling like she was born in the wrong body, Casey transitioned into a man. She took testosterone injections for years, underwent a double mastectomy, and built a completely new identity as "Cruise". But the happiness promised by the world never arrived.

When her father passed away, Casey began seeking God for the first time. Through prayer, studying scripture, and learning that God doesn't make mistakes when He creates His children, Casey made the decision to step away from gender dysphoria and de-transition.

In this episode, Casey shares how surrendering her flesh allowed Jesus to change the desires of her heart, restore her soft femininity, and give her an unshakable identity as a daughter of God.

What you’ll hear:

Confounding tomboy tendencies with "being born in the wrong body".

The process of getting testosterone through Planned Parenthood.

The spiritual and physical reality of de-transitioning back to a woman.

Practical ways to surrender same-sex attraction and see others through God’s eyes.

Why true freedom is found in crucifying the flesh and walking in the Spirit.

If you found yourself in my story today, please know you don't have to walk through the darkness alone. This podcast is dedicated to providing you with the spiritual truth, guidance, and community you need to find true freedom.
