Listen "How to Approach LGBTQIA+ in Student Ministry | SLU Scholar in Residence Ep. 198"
Episode Synopsis
The Youth Pastor and Sexual/Social Ethics
A family member has invited you to his wedding, where he will marry his true love, who happens to be another man. What do you do? How do you decide?
One of the students in your group informs you that she now identifies as non-binary and requests you use “they, them” pronouns when referring to her. Do you have to follow her instructions? How will the other students respond if you do – or don’t?
The ascendancy of LGBTQ+ culture confronts Christians with a battery of fresh and novel moral issues – gay weddings and trans identity among them. Let’s examine these from your point of view as the leader of a Christian youth ministry. How do you respond, and how can you involve your students to help them make sense of this cultural moment?
