Happy Monday, folks! We are joined by Dr. Sam Andreades, a pastor and author from Phoenixville, PA. Pastor Sam has done a lot of theological work on the topic of gender and transgenderism. We chat about his new book Across the Kitchen Table: Talking about Trans to Your Teen.

In this episode we briefly work through his book to get an idea of how to think about these issues, talk about them and how to prepare to welcome and show the love of Christ to those struggling in the body they have been given.

We encourage you to get yourself copy of Across the Kitchen Table as you continue to have real talk on topics like this with those you know. Check out https://affirminggender.com/ for more helpful resources.
