Becoming Whole Christ's Compassion in the Transgender Conversation
What does Jesus teach us about sex and gender, and how can we apply that to the complex and controversial topic of transgenderism?
With humble hearts and minds, we turn to Scripture and the historic teachings of the church to understand how to respond as Christians.
Join us as we examine the original plan for creation in Genesis 1 and 2, and explore Jesus's teachings in Matthew 19 to navigate this important conversation.
We also contemplate the hope found in the Incarnation, discussing the implications of God becoming flesh.
Jesus's care for the physical bodies of men and women illustrates his love and compassion, ultimately leading him to the cross for our sake. His death and resurrection offer hope for those who have a transgender experience or have irreversibly altered their body.
Learn how we can walk alongside those in that space with grace, understanding, and a compassionate heart.
