@coltenbarnaby: **CORRECTION** Ty is not married to Michael. He is married to a man named Alex. I misread Melisa’s substack article and misinterpreted her sequence of pictures. BUT… the entire heart of this post still stands. Michael is a gay man who re-released this song with Ty Herndon who is a gay man. And Testify To Love is now an anthem for queer love!😤 Go stream the NEW Testify To Love and let’s reclaim our lives together. @Ty Herndon @michaelpassonsmusic #lovewins #christiantiktok

You're killing me, thank you so much. There was no social media when I was in Avalon so my numbers suck lol

As an elder straight millennial who listened to this song no less than thousands of times I cannot believe how much I needed this. Hope for getting it right more & more. Thank God for them.

This just healed something in me. As a long-closeted, deconstructed, exvangelical who has finally accepted themself and found the love of my life… this is the best thing I’ve learned in a long time. Thank you.

I was raised Southern Baptist and sang this song as a solo ALL THE TIME in my church and at camps. I am now deconstructed and happily bisexual. I am living for this news 💜

I was in a program called Master’s Commission and we did a music video to this song. I can still remember the actions we did! After years of deconstruction, I still absolutely love this song!

I owned all the Avalon cds as a teenager because their music just got me. Good to know I saw them and they did in fact get me!

Don't ask me how many times I have ugly cried today after seeing this, and then streaming their song! As a deconstructed former Evangelical, who's formative years were in the 90s, this healed a part of me I didn't realize was still hurt. Thank you for sharing this, and thank you @michaelpassonsmusic 😊 I missed yours and Melissa's voices ❤️💕 Ty, is awesome tooooooo!!

I sang this song at a youth group talent show when I was 14. It has such a special place in my heart. And now as a queer woman in a relationship, it means so much more to me 😭❤️

This hit me in a way I didn't expect. This song is embedded deep in my church kid core, and as an exvangelical gay man, I've had to listen to a lot of my old favorite songs ironically, if at all. I never thought I'd be tearing up at hearing it re-recorded as queer joy in my 30s.

I’m a Christian that’s Bi and my brother is gay. My dad was a worship minister for years and I serve on the praise team. There are no words to describe how much this means to me
