John Wesley WilsonJohn Wesley Wilson, PsyD, is a clinical psychologist, author, and former Evangelical pastor whose life journey bridges faith, identity, and healing. Raised in poverty and abuse in the deep South, he found early refuge in a small Pentecostal church-a lace that offered belonging and safety. But when his sexual orientation emerged at age twelve, he found himself caught between an indispensable faith and his unchangeable truth.Clinging to the belief that God would heal him if he remained faithful, John married his high school sweetheart, became a father, and rose to the pulpit-preaching a gospel that condemned the very core of who he was.After decades of repression, his internal world began to collapse-culminating in the moment he removed his straight brother from life support so he could die of AIDS. That breaking point became the beginning of his transformation.Today, John draws on both his psychological training and lived experience to help others heal from religious trauma, identity shame, and spiritual abuse. His memoir, Straight to Hell, is a raw and compassionate exploration of what happens when faith and truth collide-and how wholeness begins the moment we stop running from ourselves.He lives in Atlanta, Georgia, where he maintains a private therapy practice and continues to write and speak at the intersection of faith, sexuality, and psychological healing.
