Dr. Cary Corely, a family counselor, joins the Hildebrands to discuss helpful ways parents should respond when their child says they are struggling with same-sex attraction.
Dr. Corely discussed the importance of not saying or doing anything definitive in that conversation about same-sex attraction. He encouraged parents to take time to think and process while still expressing love for the child. This gave the Holy Spirit the time to help the parents understand how He wanted them to respond.
When parents are able to process, Dr. Corely highlights places they should turn:
Prayer
Bible (specifically the book of Romans)
The Hildebrands mentioned how it might be easy for parents to ask themselves, “What did I do wrong?” Dr. Corely said several factors that come into play when it comes to same-sex attraction. There are many families where the children struggle with same sex attraction, and it has nothing to do with what the parents did or did not do.
The hosts want to remind parents the importance of making a difference with our kids by love and support while also not sacrificing our own beliefs.
