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

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.
