I Thought God Created Me a Lesbian, Until I Realized it was Trauma
Rev. Elizabeth Woning is cofounder of ChangedMovement.com, a website for people who once identified as LGBTQ. A former lesbian, she shares her journey of faith, healing, and happiness, now married to a man since 2005.
Listen as she explains the founding of her ministry and about her efforts to help others out of the LGBT subculture.
“I was your stereotypical butch lesbian. I was out and proud … I believed I had been born gay, that God created me that way, that lesbianism was the right expression of my femininity,” Elizabeth said, until she realized, “Maybe these feelings are anchored in some kind of trauma.”
“I felt the Lord was pursuing me. And I remember thinking, ‘If I could have communion with God, I would have purpose, there would be meaning to my life, but there would especially be value. And that was it. From that point, I burnt every bridge that I had into the LGBT movement.”
Then came Changed. “Our focus was to equip church congregations to provide safe spaces for people leaving LGBT culture to follow Christ wholeheartedly.”
Learn about Elizabeth’s struggles in helping those wanting to leave the LGBT life, against governments trying to block the exits.

The Battle for Counseling Freedom for All: A Small Victory and a Huge Setback for Those with Gender Dysphoria
Activists promoting ‘conversion therapy bans’ will not be satisfied until every last counselor, therapist, priest or pastor on planet earth has been silenced, shamed or scared into submission.
By Jennifer Roback Morse, Ph.D. Originally posted at National Catholic Register
The worldwide battle for counseling freedom for all will have far-reaching consequences for freedom of speech, religion, and association. The ostensible issue at stake is banning “conversion therapy,” which is claimed to be “harmful’ and “ineffective” and even the equivalent of “torture.”But the ultimate issue at stake is whether sexual revolutionary activists can limit speech inside a counselor’s office, personal prayer and the ability of individual clients to associate with counsellors who will assist them in achieving their own therapeutic goals.
I bring good news and bad news from the battlefront. The good news is that one of the leading organizations of therapists in the United Kingdom issued an encouraging statement. The bad news is that the Australian state of Victoria crossed a serious line by claiming the right to regulate private prayers.
