00:00:21.460What would your advice to parents be after the journey that you've come through?
00:00:25.320Between the time they spend on social media, they spend in the school, they spend with their friends, and then they spend with you, it's like this versus this.
00:00:37.520What's going on up here is way more important than anything that's going on anywhere else.
00:00:44.080if your parents are trying to talk to you about something and i would hope they do so in a place
00:00:51.040of kindness and love and patience please listen to them they've been on this earth for many more
00:00:58.960years than you and you might feel like you know it all or know all about yourself but your parents
00:01:05.120know you better than you think consider what sets you a place of putting your own opinions aside
00:01:14.080It's so good to be with you, friends, and welcome as you join us for another informative show this
00:01:21.640first Wednesday in April. We're so grateful for each one of you here today that you're part of
00:01:27.260the Action for Canada community. Our guest speaker this evening is Sarah Eliezer, and the title of
00:01:33.940tonight's show is Bill C9, The War on Scripture. It's April 1st, 2026, and this is the Empower Hour.
00:01:43.320We are so pleased to have Sarah Eliezer as one of the many innocent children in the public school
00:01:49.720system who have been deceived by the radical LGBTQ sex activists. Sarah began transitioning
00:01:56.520at the tender age of 14. She was told changing from a girl to a boy would solve her depression
00:02:03.580and confusion. However, after misgivings and a spiritual encounter in her 20s,
00:02:09.540Sarah realized the devastating truth that she had been lied to. Fast forward a few years,
00:02:16.760now Sarah shares her powerful testimony with others, proving that scripture saves lives.
00:02:22.720We're so grateful for Sarah's courage, and we invite you, our listeners, to also be courageous
00:02:28.620and share tonight's episode with your family, your friends, your pastor, and local politicians
00:02:34.880who are either sitting on the fence or pushing this nefarious agenda.
00:02:40.120And now, will you all please help me welcome Sarah.
00:03:01.880And Sarah, I'm so glad to have you back on the show again.
00:03:04.880And you are just such an amazing young woman, and the fact that your testimony involves having a relationship with God and being a Christian, and I know that what the enemy meant for harm, God is using for good in your life, and I love to give you a platform from which you can provide—I would like to start by you providing an overview of your testimony of what happened to you within the school system.
00:03:31.980And then I have several other questions, you know, that I want to make sure that are answered today for our viewers and especially children and parents.
00:03:41.740So we'll progress to that. But if we could start just for the viewers that don't know your story, if you could go back to that, that would be appreciated.
00:03:51.940right so to start I guess I could say when I first went into high school so around 14 years old
00:04:00.700um a trans man came into the school with some presentation and it was one of those ones that's
00:04:09.300like you know if you're dealing with mental issues if you don't feel right in your body
00:04:17.240if you feel like gross with your body in a way like uncomfortable then you know or if you're
00:04:26.580presenting in a more masculine way over feminine or vice versa if you're a boy or a girl then you
00:04:35.340might be stuck in the wrong body and for me not on not all on to like um the last video of that
00:04:45.200person we just witnessed i i too had been through some stuff in my younger years that made me
00:04:54.340disgusted with my body like i didn't i didn't want to be looked at i didn't want to be looked
00:05:00.600at as a woman i kind of just wanted to put a paper bag over my head and like just go on with
00:05:08.740my life like that um yeah so I first started I guess getting comfortable with the idea of
00:05:16.340presenting masculine online because online too there's a lot of uh harassment towards women and
00:05:25.720like in the gaming community and then you you just kind of want to fit in and you want to make
00:05:30.800friends and you want to not get that special treatment and I found okay I'm presenting this
00:05:36.380way and I'm no longer being harassed I'm no longer getting that special treatment and
00:05:43.260um then I just kind of started introducing myself to people as a man and that's how
00:05:54.220I was comfortable and then eventually I guess uh going through puberty like even more so then you
00:06:05.120become even more uncomfortable with yourself because that prompts more attention and the
00:06:11.500sexualization is so desensitized in our youth that it is a major problem on social media on
00:06:20.340billboards on literally literally everything and it's just part of our culture now that I wanted
00:06:26.860i wanted no part in it so thinking back on that option and finding myself in a community of
00:06:37.520people that more or less felt similar and i i was like hey this this has to be the answer for me
00:06:47.900like if this if this uh trans man comes to my school and he's preaching about like how how
00:06:55.200amazing he feels it and then you try other options like I did I tried counseling I tried
00:07:03.680talking to adults and I was just so let down by the adults and the counselors and the just
00:07:14.780people in general that you know I was like this I've reached for so many solutions I have to reach
00:07:21.880for this one. And I genuinely thought that it was what I needed. So I just one day, I took a buzzer,
00:07:33.400I shaved my hair, and I'm like, I'm identifying as this now. And I mean, obviously, my parents
00:07:42.720we're not fond but yeah i i ended up going to some uh one of those gender clinics and
00:07:52.460sitting out down with someone and i was barely in that room for 15 minutes i was
00:07:58.940barely even asked any questions that might have gotten me thinking and he was pretty much just
00:08:06.960like, okay, yeah, here's your testosterone prescription. But I guess the backtrack a bit,
00:08:14.820it's been a little while since I've run through this. I had first gone to a clinic where
00:08:23.320I was desperate to put a stop to my periods because I have a bicornuate uterus, which
00:08:32.180in often cases and in my case means I have very very painful monthlies like I will be
00:08:39.940throwing up and screaming in pain and passing out and it's just something I've had to deal with so
00:08:46.820she first offered me the Depo-Provera shot as a kind of an alternative to wait because my mom
00:08:56.820was like well you know let's let's try this first and just hold off so I go oh all right fine and
00:09:04.760I go on this shot and I'm told that it'll put an end to my monthlies I won't have to deal with that
00:09:13.040but then what it did is it sorry for the detail it made me um bleed for months non-stop to the
00:09:21.100point i was so stressed and like horrified and um dysphoric that i i was just like i'm i'm done
00:09:33.740i'm done and i just like had to get testosterone because that was not doing what i needed it to do
00:09:42.180for me. And so I went from that onto the next prescription. And what she did is she took a
00:09:53.460blood test from me and did that so she could see the max dose of testosterone she should
00:09:59.780put me on to get the results, the hormone changes as quickly as possible, rather than,
00:10:07.360you know micro dose and kind of see how somebody feels or like if you're if you're not gonna ask
00:10:15.260me questions that could have at least been something so here I am not really asked any
00:10:22.700questions that would have gotten me thinking about my past or why I might feel the way I felt
00:10:28.140or that it was normal to feel uncomfortable in some cases and I'd have a few adults tell me that
00:10:39.040like oh we all feel uncomfortable through puberty and I was like not like this not like I do
00:10:44.120because I mean when you go through things that no child or young teenager should go through
00:10:52.600of course it's going to be a little different for you so on from that I got a
00:11:02.400paper for top surgery and that was a few years later I believe I
00:11:12.120well I was on um antidepressants for years like since I was 13 14 so it's a little blurry for me
00:11:22.580But looking back on it, I believe I was 17 when I had this top surgery paper.
00:11:29.640So I went to some hospital in Vancouver and like initially I had talked to the doctor and he didn't really ask me any questions.
00:11:43.780It was kind of just like, oh, what what type of surgery like I'm doing this and like these are the options.
00:11:51.540And that was pretty much it. It wasn't, like, really checking in on my mental state. Then I go to the hospital. It's just casually, like, okay, we're gonna remove these parts of you.
00:12:10.400oh you have like uh this issue with your breasts so we're just gonna go ahead and like remove your
00:12:18.180nipples and like kind of just made it up to be oh that that's fine that's whatever and
00:12:25.880after having that surgery um well after having that surgery i mean it was something
00:12:35.780that, sorry, I'm getting all over the place, but before they'd, before I had initially
00:12:42.280gone into it, um, they had called me and they'd let me know, Hey, we have a spot open in,
00:12:51.020in three months, either you're taking it or we're giving it away. And that was like, okay,
00:12:56.500I'm going to think on that. And then I get another call. Okay. We, we need to know,
00:13:00.740we need your answer like so I was kind of being hounded to the point I'm like oh no if I don't
00:13:06.780get it now I'm probably gonna have to wait a year or two so I I jumped the gun and I got it done and
00:13:14.100I I was so brainwashed that I initially I was happy about it and or at least I think I was
00:13:27.180because i was on antidepressants and you don't really like feel much on those like it could be
00:13:36.800that underlying thing where you know something is wrong but you don't really care because you're
00:13:42.340robotically happy and i guess after a few years of having that underlying feeling i'm like
00:13:51.820You know what? If the world went to trash and I could no longer rely on this prescription, would I be able to function on my own? And I was like, no, I don't think I could.
00:14:08.560So I went off that prescription. And that's kind of when all those little things throughout my teen years that have not been dealt with, had not been resolved, had not been talked over because I never felt the need.
00:14:23.080they came crashing down onto me all at once and i as well as coming to the realization that
00:14:34.300i regretted what i did and i looked in the mirror and i saw
00:14:39.000facial hair and a gone lacking of a chest and just
00:14:47.200the scars and the nerve pain and the results of the manual labor that I thought I could do
00:15:00.380coming back to haunt me because I still suffer with injuries from that job that I was never
00:15:06.000built to do. And I'm sure the testosterone and whatever it did to my body and my bones and my
00:15:14.920joints and did not do me any help with that um it was all it was all so much like i daily i felt
00:15:25.500like i was drowning like my vision would start to go black and you know i
00:15:34.620yes you know sarah's where i wanted to give you some you know time to unfold with this and
00:15:44.340I just wanted to step in for a moment because I'm sure our viewers feel the same way that I do.
00:15:50.520You know, listening to this young girl, parents, your parents had no idea that a trans person was coming into your school, I would imagine, to speak to the students.
00:16:05.240Right. And so then they say something because they are so invested in indoctrinating others and manipulating them, especially vulnerable young people such as yourself.
00:16:17.980And so then they make a reckless comment, like that if you're uncomfortable with your body, you're gender dysphoric, which is just all this made up terminology that's based around this agenda that they've unleashed on humanity.
00:16:37.200And so what young woman isn't uncomfortable in her body as she's developing and young boys and stuff like that?
00:16:45.360You know, this is why we need to nurture them and help them through this season and try to keep their boys on into sports in school and learning reading, writing and arithmetic.
00:16:54.720There's a right way to go about this for a reason.
00:16:56.960and um you know so i know also what stuck out to me is when you said that you really regretted the
00:17:04.920decision that you made and at the same time i'm like but this wasn't your decision it was something
00:17:11.400to present presented to you you didn't have informed consent you'd been indoctrinated
00:17:16.420and as much as they want to victimize the other side you are a victim of this agenda and and this
00:17:24.200I believe is where, you know, your strength is that you had the Lord. We look at other,
00:17:31.300you know, young people, thousands of them in your position and not having the support
00:17:37.640that you had of a loving family. So now let's maybe go to where you had stopped for a moment
00:17:47.120and then explain as, I remember the last time when you were talking about these drugs that
00:17:53.640they had you on. And I've heard that they dumbed down the youth for a reason so that they'll be
00:18:01.900more accepting of all of this. They won't think critically. And I've heard that once kids in the
00:18:08.240midst of it who maybe haven't gone to the surgeries, maybe they're on the testosterone,
00:18:14.100they say, yeah, this isn't working for me. I want to stop. I heard that they increase
00:18:19.460the antidepressants and just to keep them in this state of control is is that anything you
00:18:26.320experienced or have you heard of that before as well um well for my case i i can't really speak
00:18:34.020for others because i don't believe i've heard much on that but i know like i was told that
00:18:42.420the antidepressants are just temporary and will get you like speaking to someone because that was
00:18:49.760the goal but it just never happened and then I would come in depressed like even worse at some
00:18:59.100points and then they would just be like okay let's try increasing you to this dose and then come back
00:19:04.940and tell me how you feel and it worked and when I did come back I'm like well I'm fine and I
00:19:12.460I don't really have or I don't really know what to talk about that I'm depressed about anyway
00:19:18.220because I'm not depressed anymore and it's been like two months since my last visit and
00:19:23.300I was a teenager and I was focused on other things so yeah no it's a difficult that's a
00:19:30.940difficult season and I really appreciate you being vulnerable again to explain this to our viewers
00:19:36.620because so much of this is coming undone at this point and people are much more willing to call it
00:19:43.680out to talk about it parents uh there's not too many parents that don't know what's going on
00:19:50.000because it's so prevalent in the school systems now and in society it's hard where you could just
00:19:55.960turn a blind eye and say well it's not happening to me you know I'm I'm not going to get involved
00:20:00.040in this and so i think it's really your testimony is so critical and i think i believe it's going to
00:20:05.440help people sarah if that helps to give you a courage to get through this interview and
00:20:10.480continuing with your story so could we um there may be something that you else that you want to
00:20:17.460share and i don't want you to feel like you have to jump over anything but from that point then
00:20:23.320of getting off the antidepressants what brought you to church that day or were you going to church
00:20:28.820throughout this time i i had started to because my my parents went and i've always been pretty
00:20:37.140close to my parents especially like my dad at a younger age so i like i i believed in god at that
00:20:45.760point but i i was one of those oh i'm i'm christian that doesn't like look at scripture or
00:20:52.220really know anything and thought kind of following your heart is good enough meanwhile people tend
00:20:58.920to think their own way is right and then it's the heart that's warned of sinful sinful behavior and
00:21:05.180leading to destruction so yeah but so i that uh if you wanted me to get into the day that i
00:21:14.340went and the powerful sermon that i heard i could i would i think that would be wonderful to hear
00:21:21.840you know how you went from this uh situation years of it to going off the antidepressants
00:21:30.400and as you said that once you were off them you began to realize like something just isn't right
00:21:37.360and from there leading to that day in church well i guess with that whole something isn't right i
00:21:45.420also too saw myself and i saw no way out of the situation i thought i had gone too far and i
00:21:55.100at that point i was like i i dug my own bed i might as well lie in it and maybe if i just push
00:22:02.100it down i you know it'll it'll go away that that thought but while i i went to church that day and
00:22:13.700my pastor says so they uh this this topic's going to be one that's made difficult to talk about in
00:22:22.100the nearby future so i want to i want to get it out there while i'm you know still allowed and
00:22:30.220um the scripture that he specifically said that had struck me was uh deuteronomy 22 5 is a
00:22:42.480a woman shall not wear that which pertains to a man neither shall a man put on a woman's garment
00:22:49.060for all that do so are an abomination to the lord your god and hearing that word like that word
00:22:58.720abomination that that struck me and like it it hurt because it's like i had i had heard of that
00:23:10.120scripture before but I think in my own head I was like well maybe it doesn't mean this or maybe
00:23:17.680it's more like if it's if I'm doing this for a like a perversion reason or something but I'm not
00:23:25.640and you know I tried to talk myself out of it with all these maybes and then but I don't know
00:23:33.540It was like I felt I felt the Holy Spirit past conviction down onto me and the room started to go dark again.
00:23:42.940And I'm like, oh, oh, man, this this is real.
00:23:45.900This I and my my dad was sitting next to me.
00:23:49.980He looks over at me and I just I guess I probably looked like I was going to pass out.
00:24:15.520And I said, well, you know, I'm going to do what I have to do.
00:24:23.140Being honest with you, Dad, I don't know how I'm going to get out of this situation.
00:24:27.660But if God is calling me to, then I'm going to, I'm going to try.
00:24:34.060I'm going to do, I'm going to do, I'm going to do it, even if I don't think it's possible.
00:24:39.680Like, I mean, and that's where the scripture comes in.
00:24:44.280Like, you might feel like everything's impossible on your own, but nothing is impossible with the Lord, your God.
00:24:52.400And I just put that onto his shoulders and, you know, you just head out and you believe there's a way and then there is.
00:25:03.400And then I ended up meeting Lauren Southern, of all people, and, you know, she gave me the opportunity to share my story, my testimony, and feel like this suffering of mine was put to a purpose, and that it wasn't just for nothing.
00:25:28.340and I think that that in itself is where I feel like I can live I can live with what's happened
00:25:36.580because it maybe it prevented and it prevents more people from doing what I did and knowing that
00:25:47.280I'm coming out of a place of love and understanding and nothing more nothing nothing else
00:25:53.580yeah well i i just praise the lord for you sarah and for him being able to reach you that precious
00:26:01.900special day that your pastor also took a leap of faith and thought by gum there's the line in the
00:26:07.900sand i'm not going to ignore scripture i'm going to speak this word and i know that that was
00:26:13.600biblical sexuality sunday and pastors across the nation were called to preach on that day
00:26:19.540because of the attack of the government against Christianity and against Scripture.
00:26:24.500And since that, a few years ago, when you were sitting in church, hearing that message,
00:26:30.020the battle in Canada has gotten so much worse.
00:26:33.280So what is your opinion right now of Bill C-9 and Mark Miller actually naming these Scriptures
00:26:41.740and saying they're hateful and wanting to make them illegal?
00:26:45.700there's one thing especially i want to say on that is sometimes or no all the time the best
00:26:59.220advice you can get is the advice that is the hardest for you to hear and if i had not heard
00:27:06.180that from my pastor if if uh god forbid he said it to somebody else who took it hard and
00:27:15.500was like oh that's hateful and then caught him a prison sentence or something and i never heard
00:27:21.100that i i can tell you i would not be here today i would i would have not had the strength and
00:27:27.820i mean i i don't have the strength but god is my strength that is and i i think to
00:27:38.860to prevent people from sharing scriptures that might be deemed as hateful like you can take it
00:27:49.760one way or the other but there are some people that like me that take that scripture and it
00:27:57.380saves their lives and there's speaking on that subject um it's not really to do with my own story
00:28:09.700but there's this missionary to abortion clinics uh in chicago his name's juan elias risco if i'm
00:28:17.840saying that right but um from the scripture that he has shared and following god's path set before
00:28:29.140him he has saved 82 babies and that is that 82 mothers who knew deep down that they didn't want
00:28:39.000to make that choice maybe they felt they had no other option but that's you know that's satan
00:28:44.660convincing them and he he swatted that thought aside and he offered them help he didn't come
00:28:52.040there on a high horse he didn't come there to condemn them he came there with love and
00:28:59.520if if that was in canada right now in canada for a while anyway uh and he had even begun to talk
00:29:12.380to a woman that didn't think, you know, oh, I don't like to hear this. I can just walk away
00:29:18.780on my two legs. Like, should be the normal thing we do when we hear something we don't like.
00:29:24.940I'm going to take this situation and tell him, no, you're not allowed to share this message and
00:29:34.520doom 82 lives and 82 mothers just because, you know, she doesn't want to hear something.
00:29:42.380And like that's to get rid of that religious exemption and not allow us to preach and we're not doing it in a place of hate when we go to these places.
00:29:59.420like honestly the last thing a lot of us want to do is put ourselves in these places in these
00:30:05.660situations where these people are bound to lash out on us um like we don't
00:30:15.340it it's it's hard to want to do that and like if you if you think that
00:30:24.540oh i'm sorry i'm just yeah you know sarah you and i were communicating about this uh gentleman that
00:30:35.260you had mentioned in and i just look at that as well and my heart was filled uh you know about
00:30:41.380we hear about many pro-lifers who are standing outside abortion clinics and even just praying
00:30:46.840because we believe in the power of the Holy Spirit and of God to move in the hearts and minds of
00:30:55.700those people. And often when we speak from the Word of God, we're planting a seed
00:31:01.880in somebody's life that is hurting. And it's up to them and it's between them and God for that
00:31:08.280seed to grow. And then somebody else comes and speaks the truth because that's what it is that
00:31:14.080we're talking about here, right, is that we're proclaiming the truth. And for those that are so
00:31:19.740immersed in their sin, they want to reject it. And they're looking for an avenue out,
00:31:26.160and so they need everybody else to agree with them. And as a society, we just can't succumb
00:31:31.860to that. We can't do that. And that's the whole point, is that by you proclaiming the truth and
00:31:38.460having the courage to do that, those that are in a similar situation to what you were may resent you
00:31:44.280for that initially, but it could save their life in the end. And isn't that worth speaking the truth
00:31:49.400over, regardless of the attacks? I've had smear campaigns against me. We've had emails and, you
00:31:56.000know, all of the nonsense and stuff. But in Ephesians, it talks about our battle is not
00:32:01.540against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against these evil forces in the heavenlies. And
00:32:07.240some people have opened themselves up as these empty vessels and given room to the enemy to
00:32:13.100come and reside there. They gave in to sin. In times of financial uncertainty, safeguarding
00:32:19.960your assets is increasingly important. In response to ongoing inflation, economic challenges and
00:32:27.260market instability, many Canadians are adopting the timeless strategy of investing in precious
00:32:33.860metals. Historically, gold and silver have held their value, safeguarding your assets
00:32:39.820against economic turmoil. Action for Canada is pleased to announce our partnership with
