216. Talking To Your Children About Sexuality and Gender Identity with Dr. Sean McDowell

The speed and intensity of the cultural shift towards affirming every type of sexual attraction and gender identity has left many parents struggling to keep up.   Dr. Sean McDowell, a renowned Christian Apologist and author of the new book Chasing Love: Sex, Love, and Relationships in a Confused Culture joins us to help guide moms and dads on how to have grace and truth filled conversations with their children. We discuss the importance of encouraging our kids to trust God, how to gracefully love their LGBTQ friends, and how to respond if our own children are struggling with attractions and identity.   Dr. Sean McDowell is a gifted communicator with a passion for equipping the church, and in particular young people, to make the case for the Christian faith.  Sean is the author and co-author of over twenty books including his newest one, Chasing Love: Sex, Love, and Relationships in a Confused Culture. Sean is an Associate Professor in the Christian Apologetics program at Talbot School of Theology, Biola University. He and his wife Stephanie have three children.   Resources Mentioned www.seanmcdowell.orghttps://twitter.com/Sean_McDowell https://www.youtube.com/user/Seanmcdowell76   Chasing Love: Sex, Love, and Relationships in a Confused Culture: https:// amzn.to/3jmI299   Evidence that Demands a Verdict: Life-Changing Truth for a Skeptical World: https://amzn.to/3pQfuaG   Critical Conversations: A Christian Parent’s Guide to Discussing Homosexuality with Teens https://amzn.to/3pVCK7i   Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters: https://amzn.to/3cG7Ewp   New California Health Standards Lack Diversity, Inclusion, and Openness: https://seanmcdowell.org/blog/new-california-health-standards-lackdiversity-inclusion-and-openness   Sponsor Affiliate: Become a Supporter of Let’s Parent on Purpose! https://www.letsparentonpurpose.com/support
