Linda A. Seiler, Ph.D.

Keynote Speaker

For decades, Linda felt like a man trapped in a female body and was exclusively attracted to women. Today, she is content in a female body and wholly attracted to men. Dr. Seiler offers a unique, compassionate perspective as one who has struggled with her own gender identity and sexuality.

Linda serves as the Executive Director of ReStory Ministries and as a National Chi Alpha Field Specialist in Applied Theology and Culture. She is an ordained AG minister and holds a PhD from the Assemblies of God Theological Seminary (2020), with her dissertation investigating 30 case studies of men and women who were once same-sex attracted and have experienced transformation. Linda’s book Trans-Formation: A Former Transgender Responds to LGBTQ draws from her academic research and her own eleven-year journey out of transgender desires and same-sex attractions, written to equip Christian leaders, concerned parents, or conflicted adults with a theological, scientific, and restorative response to LGBTQ.

Linda is a member of Connection Point Church (AG) in West Lafayette, IN. Learn more about Linda’s story and her ministry at lindaseiler.com.
