Strength In Weakness Podcast From Transition to Transformation: Finding True Belonging in Christ
In this episode of the Strength and Weakness Podcast, hosts Ellen Radcliff, LMFT, and Morgan Roberts sit down with Kyla Gillespie, author of the new book "Transformed." Kyla shares a concise recap of her personal story—growing up in a Christian home, struggling with gender dysphoria and same-sex attraction, her full transition to living as a man named Bryson, and her eventual detransition after a profound encounter with God's love.
We dive deep into the messy middle of navigating transgender ideologies: how to humanize the experience with compassion while holding firm to biblical truth. Kyla offers wisdom for parents, young people experiencing gender dysphoria, and Christians grappling with polarized views—whether dismissing it as "ridiculous" or bending to affirmation out of empathy.
Hear emotional stories from her book, including pivotal moments with friends who loved her unconditionally through disagreement, and Kyla's reflections on writing such a vulnerable memoir. Discover how surrendering to God brought freedom from self-autonomy and slavery to identity struggles.
