Encouragement and Hope For All Moms: The Grieving Mother, The Mother Who Has Been Blocked Or Distanced From Her Child, The Mother Who Struggles With Mom Guilt and the Mom Who Is Doing Her Best To Stand Strong {Eps 27}

You never expected this moment—your child has embraced an LGBTQ identity, and suddenly, your world feels uncertain. You love your child deeply, but now you're faced with hard questions:

How do I hold onto my faith while loving my child unconditionally?

What does grace and truth look like in this new reality?

Am I alone in this?

At The Bridge Between Us Podcast, we understand the heartbreak, confusion, and desire to do this well. You’re not alone—and you don’t have to figure it out by yourself.

Each week, we invite you into honest conversations with others who have walked this path—parents, counselors, pastors, and individuals who have found freedom in Christ after leaving an LGBTQ identity. Together, we explore how to stay rooted in biblical truth while building a bridge of love, connection, and hope with your child.

You want to love your child well without compromising your convictions. We’ll help you find the way forward.

This podcast is for Christian parents, family members, pastors, and counselors who are seeking clarity, support, and Christ-centered wisdom in a complicated cultural moment.

There is a path through this—and it’s one you don’t have to walk alone.
