The Bridge Between Us: A Guide For Christian Parents Navigating the LGBTQ Conversation

Brandon Showalter- In the Trenches: Confronting the Battle of Gender Ideology {Eps 87}


Listen Later

For Christian parents whose children have embraced an LGBTQ+ identity, the world is full of confusion, manipulation, and emotional pain. Watching your child go through gender confusion and irreversible medical procedures is heart-wrenching. Navigating this world feels isolating and often spiritually and emotionally draining. There’s a need for truth, empathy, and a support system that isn’t afraid to stand firm in God’s design for humanity.

In this episode, Brandon Showalter, a passionate advocate for truth and a journalist for the Christian Post, is joining Melinda on The Bridge Between Us Podcast. With years of experience and a personal commitment to truth, Brandon offers both emotional support and practical advice. 

Listen is to discover: 

  1. The Deception of Language One of the most insidious aspects of gender ideology is the manipulation of language. Brandon highlights how changing the meaning of basic words, like “gender” and “sex,” sows confusion and disrupts the ability to speak truthfully about the human body and identity.
  2. Spiritual Warfare and the Church’s Role In this battle against gender ideologies, Brandon discusses how the church must not only engage in policy change but also engage spiritually. The importance of persistent prayer and maintaining vigilance is underscored. The need for the church to stand firm against this deception is crucial in reclaiming the truth of God's design for humanity.
  3. The Role of the Church in the Battle As society grapples with this issue, the church is called to be a place of healing and truth. The need to accept and minister to those who are struggling with gender identity is vital, but it requires both compassion and the courage to speak the truth.
  4. Parents on the Frontlines Parents are urged to be proactive in protecting their children from harmful ideologies and pseudoscience. Despite the cultural push for tolerance, Brandon explains that compassion and kindness should not require compromising truth.

 

We are in the midst of a spiritual battle, but as believers, we are equipped with the truth of God’s word and the power of prayer. Let’s stay vigilant, stand firm, and continue to share the love of Christ with a world in desperate need of His transformative hope.
