For decades, Dr. Linda Seiler 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.

An ordained Assemblies of God minister, Linda led a team to pioneer Chi Alpha (XA) at Purdue University in 2007, where she served as XA director for 13 years before transitioning into her current assignment as a National XA Field Specialist in Applied Theology and Culture and appointment as Executive Director of ReStory Ministries. She earned a PhD from the Assemblies of God Theological Seminary (2020) with her dissertation investigating thirty 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 an avid golfer, dark chocolate lover, and cat mom to feline Facebook sensations Bo and Tabby.
