Brainerd Speaker Series PRESENTS:
A NIGHT WITH KIM ZEMBER
A Night With Kim Zember
October 29, 2025 - Gichi-ziibi Center of the Arts
Kim Zember shares with the Body of Christ her powerful personal testimony of encountering God’s transformative love amid her struggles with life and sexuality. With raw honesty and a heart for truth, she invites others into a deeper understanding of identity, healing, and surrender to Christ.
I find great joy in sharing the love, freedom and continued restoration I find through a personal relationship with Jesus. I continue to find peace and fulfillment in being “single”, with my heart and soul set on the Lord, focused on the call He has on my life, and rooted in my identity as a beloved daughter of God my Father.
Kim has appeared on TBN, CBN, Ascension Presents, EWTN, Pints with Aquinas, The Lila Rose Show, and many more platforms boldly proclaiming the freedom found in living a life fully given to Jesus.
What you don’t know about Christianity and Homosexuality
Listen to Fr. Michael Garry preaching on God’s Love for people who struggle with sexuality from the Sunday, October 5 Mass.
Q & A Follow up after the event
"Kim’s lesson of radical loving the LGBTQ+ people in an authentic manner, by not hiding our own sinful struggles... while not shying away from hard biblical truth, was refreshing. She seemed to balance love and truth...in a way that is encouraging and doable to the believing Christian community."
