Connor Lamb's story is already sparking important conversations about faith, authenticity, and courage in Christian communities nationwide. His honest account of life at UGA, his role in Athens Church, and the moment he chose truth over comfort is exactly the kind of raw, real conversation our world needs right now.
Meet Connor Lamb
Connor Lamb lived what many would consider an exemplary college life at the University of Georgia. As a member of the 2022 UGA Homecoming Court, College Outreach Director at Athens Church, Christian fraternity leader, and University Judiciary Justice, Connor was known as "Mr. Christian" on campus. But behind this impressive resume was a young man wrestling with a truth he'd carried since childhood.
About Connor's Journey
Connor's story is one of remarkable achievement alongside a deep personal and spiritual struggle. After graduating from Johnson Ferry Christian Academy, he built an impressive career foundation as Director of Training and Manager at Chick-fil-A Roswell Corners before pursuing his Bachelor of Business Administration in Economics and Risk Management at UGA's Terry College of Business.
Throughout college, Connor served in multiple leadership roles - from his position as a University of Georgia Judiciary Justice for over three years to his impactful work as both College Outreach Director and Family Experience Director at Athens Church. His dedication to God, his community, his frat brothers and university was evident in everything he did.... but something changed.
The Conversation You Need to Hear
In this deeply personal episode of Loving Kindness Everyday, Connor sits down with Kindness Calloway in an intimate living room setting to share his authentic story. This isn't about scandal or controversy - it's about a young man's courage to live truthfully despite the potential cost - lossing everything. Even his home.
Connor opens up about navigating same-sex attraction since a young age while simultaneously becoming one of UGA's most visible Christian leaders. He shares the real impact of choosing authenticity over expectation, and how his decision affected his relationships, his community, and his sense of self.
Why This Story Matters
Connor's experience speaks to anyone who's ever felt caught between who they are and who others expect them to be, especially in the church. His story offers insight into:
- The complexity of faith and identity
- Gay Conversion Therapy
- Leadership under theological struggle
- The cost and courage of living authentically
- How communities respond to unexpected truths
- Finding your path when it doesn't match the plan
This conversation showcases Connor not as a headline, but as a thoughtful, accomplished young man whose honesty has been helping others navigate their own difficult journeys.
