Summary
Few ideas have changed more rapidly than the way our culture perceives gender. The idea that you can choose your gender (some cite more than 50 options) can feel downright crazy-making for the average Christian parent—but being dismissive of Gen Z’s refusal to be put in a male or female box isn’t going to help YOUR child navigate all those choices. How do you respond when your child is struggling with gender identity? In this episode, Juli is joined by friends from Axis.org to help you understand how Gen Z perceives gender, and how to walk alongside a young person you love who is struggling.

| 0:00.0 | Hey friend, it's Julie. You know, COVID-19 has really limited our ability to gather together for events this season. |
| 0:08.1 | But that doesn't mean we have to stop learning together. So this year, we're getting creative in taking our Reclaim event online. |
| 0:16.0 | Reclaim 2.0 is happening September 17th through the 20th, and it's free for everyone. We'll feature more than a dozen new video interviews with renowned experts in sexuality like Jackie Hill Perry, Jay Stringer, Christopher Yuan, Linda Dello, Mary Dumuth. We'll have live panel discussions and we'll take your questions. We'll also feature some of my teaching from last |
| 0:38.3 | year's reclaim conference. At each reclaim event, our focus is on reclaiming the truth of God |
| 0:44.2 | as the body of Christ. The goal is not to win an argument about sexual morality, but to |
| 0:49.5 | recapture the lost territory of human hearts as they've experienced pain, confusion, and brokenness, |
| 0:55.0 | and sexuality. You're going to be challenged to rethink both the cultural and the traditional |
| 1:00.1 | Christian narratives of sexuality in light of what God's word says, and you'll consider your |
| 1:05.3 | own commitment to sexual integrity. My desire for you is to be equipped to walk with others in both the grace and truth of Jesus. |

| 1:36.5 | This podcast is an outreach of authentic intimacy, a ministry dedicated to reclaiming God's |
| 1:42.0 | design for sexuality. |
| 1:49.8 | One of the things about sexuality that is changing so rapidly is how we define and understand gender. |
| 1:50.9 | Something that once seemed very simple has all of a sudden become very complicated and filled |
| 1:56.2 | with tension. |
| 1:57.7 | And if you're a parent raising a child or a teenager who's struggling with gender, you've probably |
| 2:02.7 | got a lot of heartbreaking questions. How do I walk my child through this? How do I let them know I love |
