Gender has become a confusing and heated topic of conversation in our culture today, but the Christian worldview offers clarity, and a vision of gender that's true, good, and beautiful. At the next Lighthouse Voices event on October 3, Dr. Abigail Favale will join us to talk about the Christian view of gender that's rooted in the Word of God and examine how this view compares and clashes with secular views of gender. You can join us in-person at the Focus on the Family Bookstore in Holland, Michigan, or from home via livestream. Grab your spot today at colsoncenter.org/lighthousevoices.

We'll send you a copy as a thank-you for your gift to the Colson Center this month at colsoncenter.org/swstreetsmarts.
