As Next Gen leaders, one of the most challenging and sensitive topics you may face is when a child, youth, or young adult comes to you expressing same-sex attraction. How do you respond? How can you guide them towards Jesus, disciple them, and love them through this journey? In this episode, we're joined by Dr. Linda Seiler, who has personally experienced same-sex attraction and now leads a ministry dedicated to equipping Next Gen leaders, parents, and churches with knowledge and resources on homosexuality and related topics.

Featured Resource: Trans-formation* by Dr. Linda Seiler

Dr. Linda Seiler has also authored the book *Trans-formation: A Former Transgender Responds to LGBTQ+*, where she addresses critical questions based on her academic research and her own eleven-year journey out of transgender desires and same-sex attraction. In this book, Dr. Seiler explores topics such as:

- What does the Bible say about sexual orientation and gender identity? - Are people born gay or trans? - Why are teenagers increasingly adopting LGBTQ identities? - What about "celibate gay Christians"? - Does transformation mean temptation disappears? - How do we navigate conversations with LGBTQ-identified loved ones?

- Should a Christian attend a gay wedding? - What about using preferred pronouns?
Whether you're a Christian leader, concerned parent, or someone personally wrestling with these issues, *Trans-formation* provides a theological, scientific, and restorative response to LGBTQ topics.
