I am very excited to have Elizabeth Woning, Co-Founder of the Changed Movement. The Changed Movement is a community of friends who once identified as LGBTQ+ & today, we celebrate the love of Jesus and His freedom in our lives.

You probably have heard many stories of lgbt individuals but not many stories of former lgbt individuals. We are considered minority of the minority and not celebrated for change. We are actually being persecuted for seeking the truth. Like any lgbt person, we want the world to know we exist and change is possible.
In this special recording, you will hear Elizabeth's story, talk about best practices and ways christian's should engage members of the LGBTQ+ community and how we can better represent Christ in our everyday lives.
In one of the articles on Elisabethwonning.com site titled “a better way forward with lgbtq” she wrote “Jesus is the factor that is most overlooked in the Christian debate around LGBT. Relationship with Him is the treasure that we are willing to sacrifice for. But, it turns out that His journey is abundant. His ways overcome theory, psychology, and philosophy. Typically, Jesus is the last to be offered LGBT identifying people. Instead, we are given a system of discipline to yield repentance.
Jesus saved my life. He redeemed my mental and emotional health—rescuing me from suicidality. He redeemed my identity as a woman and ultimately my sexuality. As time goes on, He continues to reveal Himself to me in life-changing ways as I aspire to live as He lived and assume His heart within my own life. I am a woman, a daughter, a wife to my husband of 16 years… all because of Jesus. I no longer identify as LGBT.
This is going to be a very impactful conversation.
