Jessica Rose - From Transgender to Transformed: Ways We Can Build a Bridge To Our Children and Be Prepared To Walk Out the Healing Journey with Them

Author: Melinda Patrick November 21, 2023 Duration: 56:38

We pray and cry out to God to set our children and the LGBTQ Community free but are we prepared for how it will look?  Are we ready to receive with open arms those finding freedom?

 

In our episode today, Jessica Rose, a former trans-man - now Child of God and Daughter of the King shares with Melinda portions of her healing journey.  Listen in to learn:

*Questions to ask your child if they come to you sharing their gender dysphoria or same-sex attraction

*Ways parents and the Church can be a part of the healing process

*what to expect in the transformation process

 

If Jessica Rose's story has brought you hope and encouragement, will you please share it with 5 other people?  Where the world is shouting loud that transformation isn't possible, we need to share more boldly that with God, all things are possible

Melinda Patrick hosts The Bridge Between Us: A Guide For Christian Parents Navigating the LGBTQ Conversation, a space created for those navigating one of family life's most complex and emotional journeys. This podcast speaks directly to the moment a parent learns their child identifies as LGBTQ-a moment often met with a whirlwind of love, fear, faith questions, and a deep desire to preserve connection. Rather than offering simplistic answers, these conversations explore the nuanced tension between deeply held religious beliefs and the unconditional love for a child. Melinda brings empathy and understanding to the heartbreak and confusion, assuring parents they are not alone in their struggle. Each episode delves into practical aspects of building and maintaining that essential bridge of relationship, discussing what it means to embody both grace and truth in daily interactions. The dialogue here is for parents seeking to move beyond fear or isolation, looking for a compassionate path forward that honors their faith and their child. By focusing on real stories and thoughtful perspectives, this podcast becomes a vital resource for strengthening family bonds during a time of profound change. It’s about finding a way to walk together, even when the path feels unfamiliar.
