Child psychologist Allan Josephson said at a Heritage Foundation panel, “Transgender ideology... is neglectful of the need for developing coping skills and problem-solving skills in children.” He was forced to resign as division chair of the University of Louisville’s Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Psychology. He sued the university and will receive a $1.6 million settlement from the university this week. To find the courage to refuse the lies of our culture, we need to love our Father more than we love our world. How do we make God our “one and only desire”?
