201: Classic Replay: How Should Christians Approach Transgenderism?
Thursday Jun 22, 2023
Thursday Jun 22, 2023
In the last handful of years, conversations around transgenderism have grown to common place to the point where the church now has to ask a question, “How should we think and respond to this movement?” In answering this question and others around the LGBTQ+ community, the church is starting to draw lines in the sand and separating from one another. In doing such, many individual Christians are beginning to also ask questions about transgenderism. In this episode RTC, Marc Hyde and Chris Fuller step into this question with looking to the Bible for answers because if we believe that God created us, we need to see just how he created each person.
