Some of the faith questions we carry center around gender identity and Christianity. Mainly, "What does the Bible say about gender identity?

As a congregation that is fully inclusive and affirming of the https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/lgbtqia+ community, this is an important conversation for us to have. If you're familiar with Pastor Matt's previous sermon on sexuality, you'll recognize this as a continuation of this work. You can find that sermon in our Birds, Bees, and the Bible playlist. It's also linked at the end of this video.

"Should I make my kids go to church?" This year, we had you all submit your big faith questions. This question was one of the most frequently asked. "How do I get my kids to come to church?" "What do I do if my kids don't want to come to church with me?" "My kids say they don't believe in God - what do I do?" "My faith is different from my parents. How do I navigate that?" This week, Pastor Matt offers up some insight into navigating this question.
