Is My Child Gay? How to Tell Friendship From Romantic Feelings
Episode 321
Published 2 months, 3 weeks ago
Description
Your nine-year-old says another girl on her soccer team is pretty, and now she's worried she might be gay. How do you respond?
In this episode, Elizabeth Urbanowicz works through a real parent's question and gives Christian families three biblical truths to teach their kids:
- We are all drawn to beauty by design, because God Himself is the source of all beauty.
- It is natural to be drawn to people of the same sex we want to be like, not be with.
- Even a child who grows up experiencing same-sex attraction can still honor God in that struggle.
Along the way, Elizabeth shares stories from her own middle school years and a single profound question from a friend in apologetics that reframes the conversation entirely.
