Summary

Did you know that as a Christian, you are an “ambassador” for Christ? God says you are making His appeal through the way you live your life! God’s Word provides guidance for Christians trying to make sense of the transgender moment.When it comes to transgenderism, the Bible actually has a lot to say—not by a prooftext here or there but by a rich and pervasive understanding of gender and sexual identity. (See TGC article)
Obviously, transgenderism, as a cultural trend, is incredibly complex, touching on fields as disparate as genetics, fashion, medicine, law, education, entertainment, athletics, and religious liberty. We need Christians thinking through, and talking to, all of these issues.
Listen in as Heidi tackles this very important topic and reminds us that LOVE, not culture is defines the behavior of God’s people.

0:54.9	their children in accordance to the word of God. A couple of you have been actually not

1:04.2	to me in Albuquerque, New Mexico this last weekend, also in Kansas City, the weekend before
1:09.7	that, before that I was in Indianapolis. And the question of a parent's responsibility
1:15.3	to teach truth to their children with regard to the issues of transgenderism comes up
1:20.5	over and over again. So today we're going to tackle this topic from a Christian perspective
