With transgenderism on the rise, it's imperative that the Church responds to an increasingly hostile culture with both grace and truth. Issues pertaining to gender are simply another form of sexual brokenness. Yet, many pastors and church leaders feel ill-prepared to minister effectively to transgender people—and equip their congregations to do the same.
This course is designed to help you—as a church leader—better care for individuals feeling confused about their gender or whose gender identity is non-typical. It's important to realize that you might not be aware of who in your church is wrestling with a non-typical form of gender identity. This training will help equip you to minister to those who've openly embraced a transgender identity, as well as those secretly wrestling with gender confusion and pain.
We cover the following areas in this course:
Understanding what the word "trans" now encompasses
Identifying and addressing obstacles that might get in the way of helping trans people in your congregation
Examining beliefs surrounding gender and sexuality
Demonstrate topics leaders can teach that address emotional pain associated with non-typical gender association
Provide basic guidelines for discipling trans individuals
What this course isn't designed for:
This course is not designed to help you heal someone. That is God’s job, and you will only mess people up and likely drive them away from God if you try to do his work for him. Trans, non-binary, and gender-fluid individuals are the same as everyone else in that they experience emotional pain. The important thing to understand is that being transgender is not a problem, it is a manifestation of pain. A transgender person is not a project to be fixed but a person in pain to be loved.
BONUS HELP: This course is self-paced over 40 days, but if you ever have any questions, please reach out to us at [email protected] or 210-822-8201. Of course, it’s also yours for life to review as often as you’d like.
WE GUARANTEE IT: If you complete this course and do not believe worth it, we will gladly refund your money without asking a question.
