Is gender biological or is it fluid? Can a person be born in the wrong body? What is the best solution for those who suffer from gender dysphoria? Our guest, Denise Shick, will shine the light of God’s Word on this divisive topic. With sound biblical teaching, personal accounts, credible research, and scientific facts, she will expose the lies Satan uses to deceive people into embracing false ideologies about gender and identity. Jesus said, “The thief [Satan] comes only to steal and kill and destroy” (John 10:10).
Looking back at painful stories from the past seems counterproductive, especially when it appears unrelated to our present lives. But what if exploring our past stories can help us make sense of where we are now and begin to imagine who we would like to become? Rather than ignoring, suppressing, or running from our past hurts, looking at our stories of heartache and how they have shaped us helps make sense of who we are now and points the way to freedom and meaningful change. Today Adam Young joins Janet to teach us how to make sense of our own story.
