Distinct By Design

In Episode 5, Patti sits down with Laura Perry-Smaltz — author of Transgender to Transformed — for a conversation about what happens when childhood wounds become the doorway to a decade of living as someone God never designed her to be. Laura opens up about the pain that drove her transition, the nine years of surgeries, hormones, and affirmation that still left her empty, and the moment God's faithfulness broke through everything medicine and identity politics couldn't fix. This is the kind of conversation that tells the truth about brokenness without flinching — and points straight to the One who makes people whole.

In Episode 4, we sit down with Joe Dallas — a man who has spent nearly 40 years in ministry to the sexually broken. He opens up about what faithfulness really looks like on the front lines, why truth and compassion are never in conflict, and what the church still needs to hear. This is the kind of conversation that grounds you

In Episode 3, we sit down with Pastor Lloyd for a conversation that goes beyond the pulpit. He opens up about the moments that shaped his faith, the weight of leading people through hard seasons, and what it really means to walk in purpose. This is the kind of conversation that meets you wherever you are.

In Episode 2, Patti steps to the mic alone — no guest, just her story. She opens up about what brought her to this point, the moments that broke her and the ones that built her back up. This is the episode where you find out who's really behind the mic, and why none of this happened by accident.

In this episode, Patti Height shares the personal testimony that led to Distinct by Design — her journey through [core struggle], the moment God intervened, and the freedom she found on the other side.
