CHANGED is a compilation of inspirational stories of men and women who have come out of homosexuality. This newest edition now features 60+ stories and 12 stories of individuals who transitioned to identifying as the opposite sex, encountered Jesus, and then de-transitioned back to their biological sex. 

Inside, find insight into the real pains of LGBTQ as well as the hope we have in Jesus.

Culture says we don’t exist. They say “No one ‘leaves LGBTQ’ or walks away from that lifestyle. It’s impossible to get rid of your same-sex-attraction.” But we did. These are our stories. This book features stories of people who have faced rejection, pain, and despair, but have also found fulfillment. The goal is to create dialogue that can help people understand the complexity of LGBTQ identity and to protect alternatives to that subculture.

We believe community should be a safe place where you are unconditionally loved, accepted, and encouraged. Our desire is to create a group where people can share authentically and truthfully. This is a place for those who have a oncegay story or are in that journey and for those who have a loved one or are leading those struggling to find help and resources.

Finding You Journey

When we place our focus on changing our attractions, we get distracted and miss out. This journey is about finding you— the deepest you! And experiencing the gigantic love that God and your loved ones have for you. It's about learning to trust God with all aspects of your life and receiving the benefits of following Him in all things; even your sexuality.  

Navigating LGBTQ is a video-course designed for Christians that offers teaching, testimony, and perspective on LGBTQ topics from three angles: Scripture, science, and lived experience. It’s structured in chapters, including sessions about worldview, the science behind sexual & gender identity, personal stories of moving away from an LGBTQ identity, and practical wisdom for loving relationships & family dynamics.

• Hearing real stories of people who have wrestled with same-sex attraction and have pursued a different identity or path — you’ll see examples of transformation, not just theological arguments. This can bring encouragement that change or growth is possible.

• Putting scripture and science into conversation helps you think more clearly about what you believe, what you feel, and how those things intersect. It can help you sort out what is internal conviction, what is cultural pressure, and how to face both with faith.

• Practical steps and “keys” to freedom are part of the content — not just concepts, but what people have found helpful in actually walking away from LGBTQ identity toward a different identity in Christ. These can provide concrete hope and tools for someone desiring change.

• Support in community & relationships — loving friends, family, church, or small group dynamics: how to be understood, how to show love, how to hold on to convictions without isolating yourself. There’s content about family dynamics, discipleship, and how others can walk alongside you.

We believe community should be a safe place where you are unconditionally loved, accepted, and encouraged. We offer a group where people can share authentically and truthfully. This is a safe place for those on a journey away from LGBTQ. For those desiring to demonstrate Father God's compassion, love and truth to their loved ones, this group offers understanding, encouragement and resources.

While Navigating LGBTQ gives the foundation that every Christian needs, there are very unique and specific situations that parents and families find themselves in.

• How can I best represent Christ and meet the needs of my teenage daughter who now identifies as a lesbian, or of my young son who has begun identifying as a girl? 

• What are the reasons that my child is wrestling with his/her identity and what can I do to help them? 

• What are deceptions and dangers to children within culture and in today’s education systems that I need to be aware of? 

These are the some of the questions parents and families are asking today. Our team of experts in the fields of gender identity and child development will equip you to navigate LGBTQ within your family in our cultural climate.

In Process: We’re currently working behind the scenes to gather the right people to make sure we’re answering the right questions and getting you the best answers possible.

Until then, you can get our base course that every Christian needs now for FREE. Get Navigating LGBTQ.

Culture says we don’t exist. They say “No one ‘leaves LGBTQ’ or walks away from that lifestyle. It’s impossible to get rid of your same-sex-attraction.” But we did. These are our stories.

CHANGED is honored to contribute an amicus brief in support of plaintiff Kaley Chiles in the landmark Chiles v. Salazar case, now before the United States Supreme Court. This case challenges Colorado’s Minor Conversion Therapy Law, which bans licensed counselors from providing “conversion therapy” to minors. Chiles v. Salazar is a pivotal moment in our mission to restore First Amendment freedoms across the nation.

CHANGED was invited to submit an amicus brief because our community’s stories of transformation highlight the importance of protecting free speech in counseling. We stand with Kaley Chiles to ensure individuals can access faith-aligned support without government censorship, preserving the right to share biblical perspectives in therapeutic settings.

A victory for Kaley Chiles could invalidate similar bans in over 23 states, strengthening First Amendment protections for free speech and religious liberty. It would affirm the right of counselors, individuals, and organizations like CHANGED to share testimonies of transformation without fear of suppression. For our community, this case is about safeguarding the ability to offer hope, support, and biblical guidance to those seeking change. A win would ensure that voices like ours continue to be heard, fostering a culture where faith and freedom thrive.

We are thrilled to play a role in this historic case and remain committed to advocating for faith, freedom, and human dignity.

CHANGED has been invited by legislators and organizations globally to travel and speak with legislators and give insight into the LGBTQ experience from those who have chosen to leave. We share on the importance of choice and conscience and the risks of banning efforts for change.
