Pray The GAY Away? He Asked God To Prove He Was Real
Rashad Verme wasn’t looking for God. He was blonde-haired, nails done, slowly stepping out into a life he’d hidden for years — and he threw up a prayer he didn’t expect to be answered: “If You’re real, show me.”
A week later, he climbed into his truck and couldn’t move. What he says happened next became a line in the sand for the rest of his life.
On the latest episode of King Legend Talks, host King Legend sits down with Rashad — whose testimony has traveled across platforms — for a conversation that refuses to stay on the surface. Instead of running the same story back, the two of them go somewhere most interviews won’t: the slow, quiet mechanics of how a life drifts, and the encounter it takes to turn one around.
Along the way, they get into some things that’ll sit with you:
- Why Rashad calls his childhood exposure “a strategic seed” — and what he now does differently as a father “sharpening arrows”
- The double life he lived behind the identity of a varsity athlete, and the moment he couldn’t outrun it anymore
- What “Build-A-Bear theology” is, and why he says so many believers have quietly assembled a god who agrees with them
- The music question almost nobody wants answered honestly: would you play that same playlist if Jesus were sitting in your passenger seat?
- Why he says this generation is “more led by the algorithm than the Holy Spirit” — and what it’s costing us
But the part of his story Rashad most wants you to hear isn’t the transformation everyone points to. Near the end, he stops the conversation to correct the assumption head-on — and the distinction he draws might be the most important thing said in the entire hour.
This is one of those testimonies that got testimonies. Grace showing up at the exact moment it looked too late. A reminder that conviction was never meant to condemn you — it’s meant to lead you somewhere.
