Pastoral care for the Christian with gender incongruence or attraction to the same sex - with Sam Allberry

How do you best assist a church member who discloses that they are experiencing gender incongruence? 

How do we show compassion and care with people where you disagree with the choices they might be making? How do we lead others in the church to do the same? 

What advice do you have about seeking to provide an environment that does not exacerbate a person’s distress. 

How do we rid our churches of any bullying, ridicule, mistreatment, and abuse of gender non-conforming people. 

How do we differentiate between compassion for the person, including an understanding of the distress of their situation or condition, and agreeing with, celebrating, or validating any treatment protocol for transition. 

Sam Allberry is a pastor, apologist and author.  His latest book is ‘What God has to say about our bodies.’ (https://bit.ly/3OFp5wF)
