A Life of Unlearning

A preacher’s struggle with his homosexuality, church and faith

What happens when everything you’ve been taught about yourself turns out to be a lie?

In A Life of Unlearning, former high-profile Pentecostal preacher Anthony Venn-Brown takes readers on an extraordinary journey from denial to truth, from self-loathing to self-acceptance, and from shame to pride.

Anthony was born into a world where homosexuality was a crime, a perversion and “cured” through aversion therapy. He spent decades doing everything he could NOT to be gay — psychiatry, God, conversion “therapy”, exorcisms, marriage, and relentless prayers.

Week after week, year after year, he preached messages of faith and hope to thousands, while silently wrestling with the inner conflict that threatened to undo it all.

Jason’s love unravelled the cloak of denial he’d wrapped himself in for years., and thrust him through a maze of public scandal, rejection, and isolation.

Told with raw honesty, insight, and compassion, A Life of Unlearning is not just one man’s story of survival — it’s a mirror held up to a society that demanded conformity and punished authenticity. It’s also a beacon of hope for anyone who has ever been told they must choose between their faith and their truth.

More than a memoir, this landmark book ignited a national conversation about conversion “therapy”, faith, and sexuality in Australia. Its message continues to resonate; freedom is found not in becoming someone else, but in unlearning everything that told you who you couldn’t be.
