God draws us all to himself

bringing a kingdom-minded perspective on sexuality

God is leading our generation to embrace the Romans 8 promise of identity in Christ, walking in the beauty of our calling to reflect God’s image in the earth. The outcry of our generation is to be known and valued for who we are, and that very cry is being met in destructive ways by popular culture. But God is raising a standard, releasing testimonies of breakthrough and freedom that display His glory and power to a generation questioning Truth.

Jesus is compassionate as we grapple with our gender and sexuality. He longs to be invited in.  Through vulnerable conversations and thought-provoking messages, I address the LGBTQ experience. God is opening doors of freedom and fulfillment to people everywhere as they embrace their Father's vision for abundant life.

For the anxious longing of the creation waits eagerly for the revealing of the sons and daughters of God.

my ministry

 

Advocacy and activism

As Executive Director of Advocacy and Government Affairs for CHANGED Movement, I work to protect human rights for people across the world who have questioned (or are questioning) their sexuality (or gender) and have chosen not to embrace LGBTQ culture. This includes countering the increasingly invasive socio-political demands of “LGBTQIA+",” and ensuring safety and warm fellowships of faith for those taking our journey. I work closely with think tanks and activists worldwide to inspire thoughtful approaches and visionary (socially conservative) language protecting First Amendment rights—for all people—so that Judeo-Christian heritage prevails. 

CONSULTING FOR CHURCH LEADERS

I believe firmly that God is releasing answers and understanding for a kingdom-minded approach to sexuality that focusses upon the first commandment—to love. No doubt our generation will be held accountable for stewardship of that call.

I am committed to reaching into God’s grace for restoration both of human identity and a united Church, which is why I meet frequently with church leaders.

The issues of gender and sexuality are reshaping Western Christianity. By cultivating discussions among pastors and leaders, we experience clarity and understanding together for the sake of Christ.

 
Elizabeth’s testimony and ministry brings hope for supernatural transformation from life dominating issues. With great grace and power she demonstrates how connection to the love of God reveals true identity, setting us free to be who we really are.

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.
