What happens when you take a book of testimonies about leaving homosexuality into the California State Capitol to fight a bill that would have made that book illegal to sell?
In Episode 119, Part 2 of Healing and Made Free, Janet Boynes continues her conversation with Elizabeth Woning — co-founder of the Changed Movement and minister at Bethel Church in Redding, California — now in the territory where testimony meets legislation, free speech meets the Supreme Court, and Christian ministry meets political reality.
Elizabeth and her co-founder Ken Williams launched the Changed Movement in 2018 specifically to fight California's expanded conversion therapy ban — a bill framed as consumer fraud that would have made it illegal to charge a fee for any conference, resource, or counseling that offered a path out of homosexuality. They showed up in Sacramento. They shared their testimonies in committee hearings. They published a coffee table book of changed lives — the exact kind of resource the bill would have banned. And the bill was ultimately withdrawn.
That fight led to a Supreme Court case. Kaylee Chiles sued the state of Colorado for the right to offer trauma-informed care to clients whose gender confusion she believed was rooted in childhood trauma. That case has now been heard by the Supreme Court, and Elizabeth believes it will overturn conversion therapy bans nationwide — with implications for countries around the world.
In this conversation you will hear:
-
How the Changed Movement started — and what they were fighting against in the California Capitol
-
Why a conversion therapy ban is fundamentally a free speech issue, not a safety issue
-
The Chiles v. Colorado Supreme Court case — what it means and why Elizabeth believes it will win
-
Why 23 states currently prohibit licensed counselors from offering any care that affirms a biblical sexual ethic
-
The political reality of why Republicans won't address homosexuality — and what Christian advocates are doing about it
-
Elizabeth's analysis of LGBT as a political movement laced with identity Marxism — and why that framing matters
-
Why 29% of Gen Z now identifies as something within LGBT according to Gallup — and what's really driving it
-
How Charlie Kirk's death affected the Changed Movement and their relationship with Turning Point USA
-
Why Elizabeth made the Changed Movement's church equipping curriculum free after his assassination
-
A closing word: why right now is actually a window of opportunity, not a moment of defeat
If Part 1 was the theology, Part 2 is the strategy. Together they form one of the most complete conversations on the LGBT issue this podcast has produced.

What happens when a trained theologian who has fully embraced queer theology encounters the living God — through a 17-year-old boy at a Pentecostal youth service?
In Episode 118, Part 1 of Healing and Made Free, Janet Boynes sits down with Elizabeth Woning — seminary graduate, former lesbian, and ministry leader — for a conversation unlike any this podcast has featured. Elizabeth doesn't just share a testimony. She brings a framework. And pastors, parents, and ministry leaders need to hear it.
Elizabeth spent close to 20 years questioning and then fully inhabiting a lesbian identity. She left a brief marriage, came out publicly, joined a church elder board as an openly gay member, and then entered seminary actively working to push the church toward an affirming posture on homosexuality. She was not on the edge of the gay community. She was one of its theological advocates.
Then a 17-year-old boy at a Pentecostal youth service delivered a word from the Lord that spoke to a specific, private pain point in her life — something no one could have known. That moment didn't convict her of sin. It convicted her of unbelief. And that was the beginning of an 18-month journey back through Scripture, Pentecostal worship services, and eventually a surrender she didn't entirely understand — but made anyway.
In this first part of a two-part conversation, you will hear:
-
How early abuse and identity confusion led Elizabeth into lesbianism as a teenager
-
What it looked like to enter seminary openly gay and work toward a queer theology
-
The Pentecostal youth service that shattered her theological certainty
-
Why she was convicted of unbelief before she was ever convicted of sin
-
Her 18-month journey back through Scripture — and what she found
-
Why the gay community offers a level of belonging the church is still failing to match
-
What pastors are getting wrong about transgender vs. LGB — and why LGB is just as dissociative
-
What parents need to do before their child ever hears the word homosexuality
-
Why teaching children to hear the voice of God may be the most protective thing a parent can do
Part 2 continues the conversation into Elizabeth's ministry work and what she is doing today. But don't skip Part 1 — the theological foundation she lays here is what makes Part 2 make sense.

Mark Nelson was told he had AIDS and his organs were failing. 22 days in a coma later, he walked out of the hospital undetectable and engaged to be married.
What if the moment that sent you into 20 years of destruction happened at age 13 — inside a church?
In Episode 116 of Healing and Made Free, Janet Boynes sits down with Mark Nelson, co-founder of Exchange Ministries in Orlando, Florida, for one of the most dramatic healing testimonies this podcast has ever featured.
Mark grew up in an Assembly of God home, on fire for God at 11 and 12 years old, doing street evangelism with his youth group. Then at 13, a well-meaning but misguided pastor pulled him aside, accused him of being gay, performed an impromptu deliverance, and told him to "get out and don't come back."
Mark made an inner vow that night: he would never return to church. He kept that promise for 20 years — and during those years, he lived a full gay lifestyle, worked inside two presidential administrations, and eventually was told by his doctor that he had full-blown AIDS with a viral load of over 4 million copies and a CD4 count of four.
His organs were failing. Doctors told his family to say their goodbyes. His family came to the ICU and started speaking Scripture over his comatose body.
Twenty-two days later, Mark woke up. His viral load was undetectable. Eight months after leaving the hospital, he was married.
In this conversation, you will hear:
• How time with mom and distance from dad shaped Mark's identity as a boy
• The pastor's mishandled deliverance at age 13 that sent Mark out of the church for two decades
• The power of inner vows — and how they open doors for the enemy
• What life looked like working for Jeb Bush while secretly living a gay lifestyle
• Franklin Graham preaching John 3:16 — and why that day was the beginning of the end of the gay life
• The AIDS diagnosis, the failing organs, and 22 days in a coma
• What Mark experienced spiritually between life and death during that coma
• The nurse no one had seen before — and never saw again — who untied his hands from the hospital bed
• How he emerged from the coma undetectable — and married his wife eight months later
• Exchange Ministries and the work they're doing today for men and women leaving the LGBT lifestyle
This episode is for parents who are praying for a prodigal. It is for anyone who has been wounded by the church. And it is for anyone who believes their situation is too far gone for God to reach.
He reached Mark in a coma. He can reach anyone.

What happens when the pain of a broken home leads you somewhere you never expected to go?
In Episode 116 of Healing and Made Free, Janet Boynes welcomes Krissy Miles — pastor, speaker, and co-founder of Influence Church in Northern Indiana — for one of the most complete healing testimonies this podcast has ever featured.
Krissy grew up in a home defined by trauma. Her father — abused himself as a child, abandoned at 14, raised in poverty and alcoholism — brought all of that unhealed pain into their family. Krissy responded the way many children do: anger, overperformance, and eventually a desperate search for love that didn't come with strings attached.
That search led her into a lesbian relationship. It lasted less than two years — but long enough to change everything. What brought her out wasn't a program or a counselor. It was a direct, supernatural encounter with God where she was faced with one choice: this path, or me.
She chose God. And then God gave her a husband.
In this conversation you'll hear: • How generational trauma in her father's family shaped her childhood • Why she entered a lesbian relationship — and what she was really searching for • The supernatural moment God showed her exactly what was at stake • How she told her husband about her past — and what happened when they wept together • The role of forgiveness in her healing — including forgiving her abusive father • What happened when she told her father she had forgiven him • The fear that nearly destroyed her marriage at year 18 — and how God broke it • Practical wisdom for parents of Gen Z kids exploring sexuality • Her husband Lucas Miles and his work with Turning Point USA Faith
This episode is for anyone who has felt like their past has disqualified them from a whole, healed life. Krissy's story is proof that God restores what trauma broke.

What do you do when someone you love is living a gay lifestyle — and you watch them die from it?
In this raw and deeply personal episode, Janet Boynes sits down with Richard Harris, Executive Director of Truth and Liberty (an Andrew Wommack Ministries outreach), for a conversation that goes far beyond headlines and policy debates.
Richard and his twin brother John grew up in a home marked by extreme poverty, alcoholism, and an emotionally distant father. John always felt compared, rejected, and overlooked — and Richard only learned after John's death how deep that wound ran. John died of AIDS at 34, coming to faith in Christ in his final days in the hospital.
Richard and Janet — who lost her own brother to AIDS in 1999 — open up about what it means to love a gay family member without compromising God's word, and without losing them either.
In this conversation you will hear:
-
How childhood rejection and a lack of affirmation can shape sexual identity
-
What Richard wishes he had said and done differently with his brother
-
Why John stayed in the gay lifestyle even after his AIDS diagnosis — and what finally changed
-
How loneliness drives people into and keeps them in homosexuality
-
The conversion therapy ban in Colorado and what was at stake at the Supreme Court
-
How Truth and Liberty responded to the assassination of Charlie Kirk — including snipers on the roof
-
A closing word of encouragement for anyone struggling with same-sex attraction
This is the kind of honest, compassionate conversation the church desperately needs to have. Whether you have a family member living a gay lifestyle, or you are personally wrestling with same-sex attraction, this episode will meet you with truth and love.

What does it look like to stand for biblical truth in a country that legalized same-sex marriage before almost anywhere else in the world?
In this episode of Healing and Made Free, Janet Boynes sits down with Eelko Sieval, a Dutch Christian, entrepreneur, and newly appointed board member of Janet Boynes Ministries. Eelko joins us from the Netherlands — the first country in the world to legalize same-sex marriage in 2001 — to share his powerful perspective on how Christians can respond to LGBTQ+ cultural pressure with both truth and love.
Eelko opens up about his personal faith revival in 2020, how he found Janet's ministry through an online search for biblical answers on homosexuality, and what compelled him to translate Janet's book "Called Out" into Dutch so it could reach his community.
Together, Janet and Eelko tackle some of the most honest questions Christian families are facing today:
-
How do you love a family member living a gay lifestyle without endorsing it?
-
How do you protect your grandchildren at family gatherings without rejecting your family?
-
What does "compassion without compromise" actually look like in everyday life?
-
How do you maintain spiritual authority in your home when culture pushes back?
Eelko also shares why he said yes to joining the ministry board, his vision for bringing Janet's 2026 conference to the Netherlands, and how the legacy of Charlie Kirk's life has renewed his commitment to speak truth fearlessly.
Whether you're a pastor, a parent, a grandparent, or simply a believer trying to navigate one of the defining cultural issues of our time — this conversation will challenge and encourage you.

In this deeply moving episode of Healing and Made Free, Janet Boynes sits down with her longtime friend Melissa Richman — a mother, business owner, and woman of faith from the Twin Cities — for an honest, heartfelt conversation about love, loss, grief, and the faithfulness of God.
Melissa shares the story of her marriage to Matt Richman — a healthy, faith-filled, 37-year-old pharmaceutical executive — and the shock of hearing the words "stage four colon cancer" during what should have been a routine lab check. Over the next three and a half years, Melissa and Matt fought together, celebrated a year of no evidence of disease, and watched it come back with a vengeance. In February 2020 — two weeks before the world shut down for a pandemic — Matt passed away. He left behind Melissa and their three young children, ages five, six, and seven.
Melissa opens up about the devastating first year of widowhood: the numbness, the isolation, the moment she prayed God would take her too, and the slow, painful journey back to healing. She talks about the power of wise counsel and therapy, allowing safe people to love her and her children, and how God — even in the deepest suffering — was never far away.
Janet also shares her own grief journey, opening up about losing her best friend to cancer and her struggle with loneliness as a single woman. Together they offer hope to anyone walking through grief, loss, or a season that feels like God has forgotten them.

In this powerful episode of Healing and Made Free, host Janet Boynes sits down with minister, Christian hip hop artist, and overcomer Keiana Parks for an honest, in-depth conversation about growing up in the church, living as a lesbian, getting married, backsliding, and ultimately experiencing the transforming grace of God.
Keiana opens up about how confusion about her identity began as early as elementary school, the role absent and hurtful male figures played in her rejection of femininity, and how she became fully immersed in the lesbian lifestyle as a "stud" in college. She shares the hope she found when God sent godly friends and accountability partners into her life, and how she gave her heart to the Lord.
But the story doesn't stop there. Keiana vulnerably walks through her marriage to a man, the unhealed wounds that sabotaged it, and the painful season of backsliding that followed. She explains what it feels like to "go back" — and why surface-level freedom from homosexuality is never enough without deep inner healing.
After years of struggle, God made a way of escape. Today, Keiana stands as a minister, speaker, and testimony of grace — and she has a message for every parent, pastor, and young person watching: you don't have to learn the hard way.

What is “the truth in love”? What is “compassion without compromise”? Janet talks with Richard Harris from Truth and Liberty Coalition. For an organization that has the corner on love and truth, why are most churches silent? Because many churches and pastors are afraid of the backlash in their community if the pastors are not only standing behind, but preaching biblical sexuality. What can we do in this day and age to turn the tide of rebellion against God’s word? Like Richard says in the interview, “If you think you’re loving somebody and you’re not willing to share truth then you’re not really loving them.”
In a society that values individualism and supports selfishness, how do you raise your kids without the influence of the world? You are hyper-vigilant. Jim Domen lived a gay life in his 20s…he’s now married with three beautiful children. He and his wife will discuss homosexuality and society with their kids at age-appropriate times.

You can email Micheal at: michealminton@mac.com

Rashad Vermé was living a double life...playing basketball on scholarship with the guys, then dressing like a woman and contemplating transitioning. But God...the presence of the Holy Spirit filled Rashad’s truck. In that moment, Rashad gave up homosexuality, pornography, drugs, and alcohol and gave it all to Jesus...but it wasn’t over. Janet talks to Rashad Vermé about pressing into God, counseling, inner healing, and accountability. God calls someone out of homosexuality and too often, they are immediately put in the ministry spotlight, only to fall and repeat past behaviors. Leaving homosexuality isn’t a moment...it is a process.

What happens to a family…when a parent comes out as gay? For Nic Natarella, when his father came out, Nic started to question his entire existence. The enemy comes to “kill, steal, and destroy.” (John 10:10) And the enemy’s favorite target to destroy is the greatest representation of God’s love for us: a marriage, a family. There’s more than one person coming out…it affects first, a spouse. Then kids, and extended family, in-laws, even the parents’ closest friends. When the enemy takes out a family, there are ripples and reverberations for generations.
For every child that comes out and announces they’re gay…there are parents that begin their own journey. Janet sits down with Nic Natarella – the “voice of Healing and Made Free” – and talks about what happened to Nic and his wife when their daughter came out to them. How does a son or daughter embracing a gay identity affect the parents? The saying is, when the kids come out of the closet, the parents go in the closet.
The LGBTQ Doctrine in Churches and Schools: What Pastors and Parents Can Do Today
There is an lgbtq philosophy being promoted and embraced by school districts and even churches. Janet talks with Pastor Daren Mehl. They talk about calling out the lgbtq agenda wherever it is promoted and embraced. Why are church and pastors adopting an lgbtq doctrine…? Ae pastors equipping their church in lgbtq issues? Are pastors culturally silent? “…affirmation is unloving because it is leaving someone in sin.” Why have schools adopted the lgbtq doctrine so completely? “It is a spiritual battle to send your child into public school. And I don’t believe children belong on the front lines.”

"God’s design is under attack."
From social views to doctors to activists and even narcissistic parents…God’s design for family, marriage, and sexuality are under attack. Janet and psychotherapist David Pickup have a no-holds-barred discussion on the causes and treatments of homosexuality and transgenderism. Doctors who should know better playing “Dr. Frankenstein at the expense of our children.” Unhealthy marriages, sexual abuse, and a lack of connection with the same-sex parent all contribute – almost universally – to homosexual and transgender development. When you know the truth, “there’s no disrespect in the truth. The truth is just the truth.”

There’s one question that can bring a room to a screeching halt. From a keynote address to a workshop full of police officers.

Your past is not an identity. Your past is not a sentence. And your past is not your future. Janet talks to her childhood friend, Michael Howell, about walking through the darkness of drugs and alcohol, being arrested…and the hand and influence of God changed his destiny. What was surely going to be seven years or more in prison…turned into a work-release sentence. Michael has followed in the footsteps of his father, becoming an influential entrepreneur in the Norristown Pennsylvania area. Who was once into drugs and alcohol, while still going to church on Sundays…is not 100%, completely and totally sold out for God and His purpose. “I had learned about God, but I hadn’t encountered God.” In 2016, that all changed. Michael encountered God in a big way…listen to his story as Michael went from drugs and alcohol to Man of God, husband, father, grandfather, and influential businessman. “It all starts with God.”
God made our bodies to run on food. If you’re addicted to drugs or alcohol or smoking, you can quit drugs, alcohol, and cigarettes. If you have an eating disorder, you can’t quit food. In fact, quitting food IS a disorder. Janet talks with Kelly Jansens about eating right, exercising, should you or should you not take supplements, and some basic tips for working with a personal trainer. And the biggest tip to get started today--even sitting at your desk. Janet also makes an unabashed confession of her own thirty-year journey with bulimia--purging up to 10 times a day or more.

Ken Williams, one of the founding members of the Changed Movement, has a frank and unabashed conversation with Janet about his process into and out of homosexuality. They cover sexual abuse, pornography, suicidal thoughts, peer pressure, and more. As a boy, Ken didn’t think of himself as very “masculine”…and found himself pushing away masculinity. But deep down he wanted it and thought being with a man, masculinity would be transferred to him. And whatever Ken was going through, the enemy was magnifying it…”I don’t think it’s what happens to us that changes us…I think it’s what the enemy says to us when something happens to us.” Don’t miss this raw, real, and at times gut-wrenching episode on Healing and Made Free.
It is a full assault on Christians in the 21st Century. Marginalized for our beliefs when the whole world can believe whatever it wants. Most at risk: our children.

From the internet to pornography, from palm readers to our school systems, the enemy has found a way to destroy families. Listen to this candid, behind-the-scenes look at “reality shows” and how they’re out to make a mockery of Christians and God.
From our local community to the world…our society isn’t perfect. There are problems in government, in agencies, in society, in neighborhoods…what has God called YOU to do?

How do you start reading the Bible? Is healing for today? Where is God when I don’t feel Him? There are so many lies about God. Janet talks with Jackie DuVall – producer for Sid Roth’s It’s Supernatural – about the lies that are leading people away from God and the church. Just because you don’t “feel” God doesn’t mean He’s not there, He isn’t working, He doesn’t care. “He’s an everyday kind of God.” You can find God in “the secret place”…not just a prayer closet. The Secret Place is a posture of the heart. Why are Millennials and Gen Zs leaving the church? Because they want to experience the manifest presence of God…and many churches don’t have it.
Find out more at SidRoth.org.
70% of Millennials and Gen Zs believe the local church is irrelevant…and are leaving the church in record numbers. What do we need to do to reach out to Gen Zs and Millennials? Janet talks to Jon L. Groves, pastor of Honor Church in Orlando, FL. They discuss Millennials, Gen Zs, pastors avoiding the hard topics of today – that were addressed in the Bible thousands of years ago. Janet and Jon do not hold back: How do we disciple a generation? “By having pastors discipled first.” We have neglected apologetics and the manifest presence of God…and need to move away from “events” based ministry.

Did you ever “accidentally” discover your calling? Kimberly Ells was doing some basic research and uncovered how Planned Parenthood, the United Nations, and various NGOs around the world are deliberately dismantling the family. As she describes it, her goal was to “knock the legs out from under the international sexual rights movement…by empowering parents.”
“If you corrupt sex, you corrupt the family. Why would you corrupt the family? Because the family is the most powerful organization on earth.”
Janet talks with Kimberly Ells about her book, The Invincible Family: Why the Global Campaign to Crush Motherhood and Fatherhood Can’t Win. Many of the predictions she made decades ago are now mainstream and destroying families today.

Can’t we cast another vision?! For more information, visit: EWJacksonForPresident.com.
