Lungelo, I just want to take a moment to appreciate the incredible work you put into this interview. I know some people felt you came on too strong, but from my perspective, you handled our conversation with genuine care, thoughtfulness, and respect. You asked the necessary questions that I’m sure many had in mind, and I felt truly seen and protected in that space.

It’s clear that you don’t just conduct interviews for the sake of conversation, but with a deeper intention to understand, learn, and share meaningful stories. You took the time to create a safe environment for me to speak, and even encouraged others to be kind and compassionate.

I believe you have a bright future ahead, and I hope you get even bigger opportunities because your talent and heart truly deserve it. Thank you for your grace, effort, and the respect you showed me.

Keep shining.

Inno

People are okay with us sinning LOUD but uncomfortable with us claiming God PUBLICLY. We sinned publicly, we will claim this Jesus Christ the same way!! ❤️

"My happiness doesn't matter, until God's happiness is recognized." beautiful words Innocent.

@lulufierce01 1 year ago

Christianity is about dying to self to follow Christ. The whole of Innos interview highlighted this so much. ❤

As someone who is struggling daily with same-sex attraction for other men, I can relate with Inno. God's goodness brings us into repentance. It's all about obedience and denying ourselves daily for His glory. As followers of Christ, we are not here on earth to conform to its standards but to express godliness in our ways and lifestyle. We are all struggling with something but God's grace is sufficient and His power works best in weakness.❤

It's how Inno is speaking as the foolishness of the world, humble as ever, like he doesn't know much...but he's tearing the enemy limb-for-limb😌🙆🏾‍♀️🔥

This episode is evidence of what an unsafe society we are….how we bully people to our standards. It’s shameful.

Lungelo I feel like you are not the right person to interview inno cause you already have a side you are standing on

@zurikodise6712 1 year ago

His honesty is so admirable. No defensiveness, no denying of his history, no over compensating for what he believes. Just wow. As someone who is wrestling with liking girls (as a girl) and figuring my faith out, I find it hard to admit my desires and be honest with myself about what I think about God and my sexuality - seeing him speak freely about his experiences even though now he is in Christ and he could get judged for it, is so encouraging. Encouraging in the sense that, my being honest with my struggles doesn’t make me less Christian. I don’t have to be pretentious. Inno has spoken so freely and unapologetically about difficult topics: questioning God, being convicted of being gay/transgender, his traumas etc. All with integrity, transparency, vulnerability and honesty.

I commend you Inno, may the Lord continue to keep you from stumbling and present you before his glorious presence with great joy and without fault . I pray he gives you strength and power to love him more than everything else in this world ❤️.

With all due respect, in this interview I feel like Lungelo was a bit biased.
Inno has made his choices and some of the questions sounds more interrogative about his decision to no longer be a transgender woman and be obidient to God than they are an unbiased conversation about someone’s life journey.

Happy with this interview, people must not claim a religion that they do not believe in or follow. Religion should not be a fashionable statement but a conviction.

@Nthabz_Mv 1 year ago

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom… Inno continue, sometimes we live out this Christian life we walk not having all the answers- we live by Faith. God will Reward the sacrifice of Your obedience!!! Just your obedience has challenged me.
THANK YOU INNO ❤️LOVE AND GRACE

Inno stood his ground. Lungelo came off a bit grilly but what he needs to remember is that Inno was here to tell his story and present himself, he's not here to talk on behalf of the community

@BEENATURALME_2906 1 year ago

Inno is actually a very intelligent person. I am actually shocked at his intelligence because of what he has been portrayed as. I think we should let him be, the same way that we ALL are left to be. I know he is in the public space and he put HIMSELF there, however, I have a new perspective of him after this interview.

@thandekalanga7070 1 year ago

Inno explained himself so well... Lungelo was struggling with being objective on this topic

@ayandambanjwa4396 1 year ago (edited)

Lungelo wasn't objective, and you could tell that he was somewhat uncomfortable,however Its commendable how gentle and kind he was to Inno regardless of their differences. Thank you Inno for allowing God to use you, I know it's not easy, but dont be dismayed!❤❤❤

@FoundbyGodnow 1 year ago

Also it's a process for Inno, being saved doesn't mean sinful desires immediately goes away. It's a process

@abdent.5309 1 year ago

The wisdom coming out of Inno is evidence that God is really at work in him. Praises be to the most high

@Namiri-Nitro 1 year ago (edited)

Lungelo your questions were very confrontational. Just because you're gay, does not mean you should feel betrayed by Inno

@zandibuckland1652 1 year ago (edited)

I pray Innocent gets a church that will help discipline him in the fullness of the gospel. A church that truly stands for the gospel and does not preach half truths and half lies. But the full gospel with no compromise.
