Summary
Whether you have personal experience with a child asking questions about gender or are nervous about how to address issues that might arise from exposure to media or peers, this episode is for you!
Dr. Jeff Meyers breaks down the importance of emphasizing God’s good design for gender and why it matters that male and female remain distinct.
We also dive into the science behind gender as well as the devastating consequences of going against God’s plan for boys and girls.
Be confident that, with Christ’s help, you can raise gender-confident kids who know their worth and their identity are rooted in who God says they are, not what the world says.
