Mission

We exist to make Jesus known all over the World. Equipping all Christians, leaders, churches and organizations on how to engage in conversations and questions about faith, sexuality, gender, & identity with biblical faithfulness, grace and love. 

 Renewed & Transformed is a ministry dedicated to sharing Christian teachings on Faith, sexuality, gender, and identity with Kyla Gillespie leading through speaking engagements, equipping sessions, writing, podcasts, and teaching opportunities. This ministry seeks to address these topics while holding a biblical view on sexuality and gender. Kyla’s desire is to bring deeper understanding and the powerful transformation to individuals' lives through Jesus Christ. We invite you to explore the intersection of sexuality, identity, gender, and faith through the unchanging Truth of Scripture. Together, we will discover how Jesus can make all things new. 

• There is only one eternal, sovereign God who exists in three persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

• God created the heavens and the earth and declared his creation to be good.

• All humans have sinned and live with a sin nature, which prevents them from rendering pleasing obedience to God on their own.

• All humans, though marred by sin, bear God’s image and are therefore worthy of dignity and honor.

• Jesus Christ was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of a virgin and was both fully God and fully man.

• Jesus lived a sinless life, taught about the kingdom of God and how God wants us to live in this life. He died on the cross for the sins of the world, was raised from the dead by the power of the Spirit, and lives today at the right hand of the Father.

• If anyone desires the forgiveness of their sins, they must repent of their sins, believe that Jesus is the Son of God, and they will be forgiven.

• All those who are truly born again will seek to live out the teachings of Jesus, summarized by the two greatest commands: "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind" and "Love your neighbor as yourself."

• Jesus is coming one day to usher in his final and perfect kingdom on earth. On that day he will judge the living and the dead. All those who believe and obey Jesus will live forever with him in the new heavens and new earth. All those who don’t believe in Jesus will face an irreversible punishment for their sin and rejection of God.

• The Bible is inspired by God and is therefore our ultimate and final authority for all matters of faith and practice.

  “Kyla demonstrates a rare blend of grace

and truth. I’ve ministered alongside

Kyla several times and it’s so evident that she has a huge heart for marginalized people and a courageous commitment to God’s word.”

Preston Sprinkle

President of The Center for Faith, Sexuality & Gender

“Kyla is a shining example of what it looks like for someone to follow Jesus with all of their life, even when it isn’t easy to do so. Her joyful passion for God, His Word, and helping people is truly inspiring.”

BJ Chursinoff
Elder, Gospel City Church 

"Kyla is an inspiring example of how to humbly and faithfully follow Jesus in every area of life. 

She has deeply encouraged our ministry by courageously sharing her story and demonstrating conviction, compassion, grace, and truth. I highly recommend her."   

Felix Chan

P2C, Students Campus Team Leader 

  "Kyla is the real deal. She has an amazing testimony of God's grace and power and is passionate about sharing biblical truth on subjects where much of the Church is either confused or compromised. She is intimately involved in the life of her local church family and it's my joy to know her as a sister in Christ first, and a public speaker second. If your group is looking to open or expand a godly conversation on LGBTQ+ issues, I cannot recommend Kyla highly enough."
