From Laura to Jake and Back Again. An Interview With Laura Perry; Author of Transgender to Transformed

Laura Perry Smalts lived for nearly a decade as a transgender man named, "Jake," before realizing the deception of the transgender lifestyle and leaving it all behind. Embracing her true identity as a woman, her transformation was chronicled in a documentary, and she shares her story at churches and conferences, in articles, and on various programs, to help others find the same freedom she has. Laura lives in Oklahoma with her husband, Perry.

Perry Smalts is a devoted worship leader with a lifelong commitment to his faith and his music. Seeking partnership and unity in both purpose and spirit, Perry prayed for someone who would share his dedication to God's work. When he met Laura, he found more than a companion; he discovered a kindred soul, equally passionate about serving the Lord. Laura's zeal for building God's kingdom and strengthening the church resonated deeply with Perry, and it was this shared vision of ministry that drew them together. Now united, Perry and Laura form a formidable team, steadfast in their mutual support and driven by a common goal to further their divine calling.
