I Wasn’t Gay — I Was Lost”: Kimberly Zember’s Journey from LGBT Life to Christ | Dr. J Show 286


Listen Later

Can people really leave behind same-sex attraction? Kimberly Zember says yes—and that claim alone makes her a controversial figure. But as she shares with Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse, her story is not about politics or slogans—it’s about a soul seeking truth, stumbling through pain, and ultimately finding peace in Christ.

 

Raised Catholic but lacking a clear picture of God’s love, Kimberly lived a double life for years—dating women in secret, wrestling with fear and isolation, and seeking help from those who too often offered affirmation instead of truth. Despite the confusion and the failures, she never stopped searching for something more than feelings or labels could offer.

 

Kimberly’s refusal to reduce herself to an identity—whether lesbian, missionary, or even “religious”—points to a deeper Christian anthropology: our actions do not define our essence. Through her testimony, she invites us to consider what it really means to live as a child of God in a culture that pushes us to define ourselves by our desires.

Kim Zember speaks internationally about the love and freedom she has found from leaving a homosexual lifestyle and her pursuit of the greater love she has found in Jesus. Through her personal testimony she helps give others insight into how to love those around them who identify within the LGBTQ community and also gives hope and direction to those who may have same-sex attraction or struggle with their identity.
