Our world around us is constantly discipling us to accept worldly views instead of kingdom views. The truths we are taught do not always align with our God-given identities and the foundation of the gospel. Teachings regarding LGBTQ+ mindsets are potentially the greatest example of this today. This movement has deeply invaded our culture, our churches, our children, and our lives. It is imperative that we are equipped to confront these false beliefs in love and truth, as we hold firmly to God’s heart to renew, redeem, and transform all people.
