Rev. Brenna Kate Simonds has been learning to walk in freedom from same-sex attraction, disordered eating, self-injury, self-loathing, and chronic low self-esteem since January of 1999. Since 2004, she has directed Alive in Christ, a ministry for those impacted by same-sex attraction and gender dysphoria, while ministering to others with life-controlling issues. Because of this, she has had the opportunity to be in “The Boston Globe,” award-winning documentaries “Such Were Some of You” and “Just As I Am,” and the TV show, “Pure Passion.” She is the author of the book “Learning to Walk in Freedom” and has published articles at Boundless and FindingBalance. Brenna holds ministerial credentials with the Assemblies of God. Brenna's favorite pastimes are songwriting, gluten-free cooking and enjoying the company of her husband and their three children at their home in the greater Boston area.
