My Exodus

Alan proposed to Leslie on their first date while both were working for major league baseball great Orel Hershiser and his family. They married in January 1998 and began a very public journey living their faith and sharing their lives. During their 16 + years of marriage the Chambers have been featured on every major (and minor) media outlet in the world related to Alan's personal story as a Christian with same-sex attractions, their unlikely union, and his work. Alan and Leslie now consult and speak in very large and small venues to wide varieties of people including university settings, large organizations and corporations, mega churches, and to individuals with no titles over coffee. Their goal is to reduce fear, establish trust, and inspire hope on both sides of a growing divide for the sake of the Gospel and our cultural common good. Having authored 2 books, Alan is currently working on his 3rd with Leslie. They also write at AlanChambers.org. The Chambers spend the best part of their lives with 8 and 9 year olds, Molly and Isaac in their hometown, historic Winter Park, Florida.

'Alan Chambers' well-publicized exodus from Exodus International has a backstory that needs to be heard. People on all sides of the LGBTQ issue will benefit from seeing the story's protagonists humanized rather than stigmatized, and this account, beautifully told, does so with grace and honesty.'
