My History

I “came out” in my early 20s and attended a Presbyterian Church (USA) seminary openly lesbian after questioning my sexuality for several years. As a student in seminary between 2000 and 2003 I lobbied for marriage and ordination of LGTBQ individuals and ministered among gay youth, espousing a theology that embraced homosexuality. Upon graduating, I served as a youth pastor in a small rural community, where an encounter with Jesus radically shifted my perspective. The love of God drew me into a revelation that led to repentance and healing. I married my husband, Doug, in 2005.

I co-founded CHANGED Movement, a network of men and women who have walked away from LGBTQ identity. In addition to member support, CHANGED Movement works with legislators and think tanks to protect the First Amendment Rights of all of us seeking freedom from LGBTQ culture and its social labels.

I hold a Masters in Theology and am completing my Doctor of Ministry degree in New Testament Theology at Houston Theological Seminary at Houston Christian University in Texas. I teach emerging leaders at Bethel Church’s School of Ministry in Redding, California, where I am a licensed pastor.
