Yuan describes finding a discarded Gideon New Testament in prison and gradually recognizing Christianity as true.
The brief
Christopher Yuan recounts a collapse from dental school and drug dealing to a federal prison sentence, where an unexpected encounter with Scripture began reshaping his life.
His mother’s prayers and a discarded Gideon New Testament led Yuan through Mark and Romans toward a Christian understanding of sin, grace, and conversion.
After learning he was HIV positive in prison, Yuan describes finding hope in faith and reframing his future around God’s purposes rather than fear or self-definition.
Yuan’s central argument is that Christianity calls people to holiness, expressed through chastity in singleness or faithfulness in marriage, rather than a preferred sexual orientation.
The conversation extends that framework to children and parents, covering pornography, smartphones, same-sex weddings, prodigal children, and the tension between loving people and affirming conduct.
