    107: From Stud to Surrendered: How Keiana Parks Left the Lesbian Life, Got Married, Backslid, and Found God's Grace Again
    Mar 3 2026
    In this powerful episode of Healing and Made Free, host Janet Boynes sits down with minister, Christian hip hop artist, and overcomer Keiana Parks for an honest, in-depth conversation about growing up in the church, living as a lesbian, getting married, backsliding, and ultimately experiencing the transforming grace of God. Keiana opens up about how confusion about her identity began as early as elementary school, the role absent and hurtful male figures played in her rejection of femininity, and how she became fully immersed in the lesbian lifestyle as a "stud" in college. She shares the hope she found when God sent godly friends and accountability partners into her life, and how she gave her heart to the Lord. But the story doesn't stop there. Keiana vulnerably walks through her marriage to a man, the unhealed wounds that sabotaged it, and the painful season of backsliding that followed. She explains what it feels like to "go back" — and why surface-level freedom from homosexuality is never enough without deep inner healing. After years of struggle, God made a way of escape. Today, Keiana stands as a minister, speaker, and testimony of grace — and she has a message for every parent, pastor, and young person watching: you don't have to learn the hard way. 👉 If you have a daughter living this lifestyle — or you know someone who does — please share this episode. Her story may be exactly what someone needs to hear today.
