Kim Zember: You're winning the argument but losing their soul. Radical truth and radical compassion.

In this powerful and deeply moving talk, speaker Kim Zember challenges Christians to reevaluate how we approach culture, sin, and sensitive topics. Reflecting on her own journey including 12 years of dating women and her radical transformation through Jesus Christ, Kim delivers a crucial reminder: behind every controversial topic or lifestyle struggle is a living soul in need of a Saviour. Too often, we weaponise the word of God to textually "win" debates, only to push the very hearts we are trying to save further away. Using a brilliant, humorous analogy about her wiener dog, Scooter, and a piece of beef jerky, Kim breaks down why forcefully ripping things out of people's hands backfires, and why we are instead called to offer them something infinitely better: the radical truth, radical compassion, and life-changing love of Jesus Christ. If you have ever struggled to talk to a loved one about sensitive issues or want to learn how to truly love people into wholeness without compromising truth, this message is for you.
