Kyla is the founder of Renewed & Transformed Ministries.
Session 1: Kyla’s testimony shares the journey of someone who transitioned from female to male for 6 years but was drawn back to Jesus through the Truth of God, and the love and compassion of the Christian community. Through God’s grace, she has detransitioned, embraced her God-given identity, and found true freedom living according to His design.
Session 2: Kyla will unpack teaching about how to discern cultural lies such as, “following your heart” versus the Truth of God’s Word. How chasing personal autonomy leads to brokenness and doesn’t offer true freedom, including LGBTQ+ terminology and what the Bible has to say about God’s design for our sexuality, identity, gender and more.
Session 3: Redemptive ministry; how to love LGBTQ+ people while holding to a biblical view on sex and marriage. Kyla will teach us how to apply John 1:14… how to love in Grace and Truth, including how God has called Christians to make disciples through the Great Commission.

Bryan is the Co-Founder of Union Movement
He will be speaking on dis-integrated Design and how the Gospel restores the integration of our design. In a world marked by disintegration, God calls us to embrace a fully integrated life of
sanctification—one where our body, soul, and
spirit come together in holiness. This session
highlights sanctification as a transformative work of God, harmonizing every aspect of our
being to reflect Christ. We’ll explore how today’s culture often fragments faith, creating divisions that separate salvation from discipleship and morality from identity. This session will inspire and challenge you to wholeheartedly submit to the sanctifying work of God, who is faithful to complete it.

Movement. She will be speaking on the
entertainment industry, and school curriculum and TikTok influencers are lining up, ready to instruct our kids on topics of gender. But God has established parents to be the primary guardians and mentors in a child’s life, to help them be established in their God-given identity. In this session, we will explore cultural realities, psychological implications, Biblical insights and practical steps that every parent can take to help their sons and daughters grow in confidence.

Conference details
Renewed & Transformed 2025 Confernece
We live in a time of history when a constant war rages about the definition of what is true, beautiful, and good. I believe that God’s Word and His design for sexuality and gender—and how we live it out—truly matter.
In a world and culture that is terribly confused and often deceived. My heart is to reach the broken, the lost, and the marginalized while equipping Christians to apply John 1:14 by loving others with the fullness of grace and truth. Let’s be like Jesus—full of grace and truth—and partner in this battle. I believe we can discover how God can truly make all things new.
Theme: “Be transformed by the renewing of your mind - Restoring Identity Through God’s Design”
Key Verse:
“Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—His good, pleasing, and perfect will.” —Romans 12:2
Conference Vision:
God has called us out of darkness into His marvellous light. Through His mercy and grace, He opens our eyes to see His beauty, truth, and design. When we take our eyes off ourselves and fix them on Christ—the One who is truly worthy—His Spirit transforms us at the deepest level of our heart, mind, soul, and body.
This transformation begins with surrender. God gently exposes the idols we hold—anything we love or value more than Him—and calls us to lay them down at His feet. When we do, we make space for His presence to renew, restore, and guide us into abundant life.
In a world that distorts God’s design for identity, sexuality, and gender, this conference seeks to equip believers to walk in His truth, anchored in Christ alone. Together, we will explore how living within God’s good and perfect design brings freedom, healing, and joy.
