Gender and Sexuality :: Preston Sprinkle [Ep 370]

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Over 20% of Gen Z identifies as LGBTQ+.  That’s roughly 1 in 4 of today’s teen and young adult populations. There is a lot of confusion around gender and sexuality in our</span> <em><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Christian</span></em> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">culture today - how do we love others well that have different belief systems and  different language around gender and sexuality? How do we parent our children in a way that honors our faith and what we believe to be true? What do we do with the Church’s reputation of hate towards LGBTQ people we inherited? </span> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">With even the staunchest of liberals asking questions around the sharp rise in people identifying as LGBTQ our grace and truth filled responses are more important than ever.
