DISCLAIMER:
The resources listed below are gathered from a wide variety of people, perspectives and backgrounds. While we want to journey alongside you as you navigate the conversations around gender identity & sexuality, we want you to start by researching, listening and filtering all of these resources through the Word of God and the Holy Spirit. The hope is that these resources would help equip you to have loving conversations rooted in truth, empathetic with those around you, from a place of humility and a greater understanding of the topic in general. Please note that just because a resource is listed does not mean we agree with everything the source says on all topics, and we ask that you use discernment and critical thinking as you do your own research.
