About The Bridge Between Us: Loving Your LGBTQ-identified Child Without Compromising Truth
When your child embraces an LGBTQ identity, it can feel as though the ground beneath your feet has shifted. You love your child deeply. You love Jesus deeply. And now you're asking questions you never expected to face. How do I stay faithful to God's Word while keeping my relationship with my child? What does it really look like to walk in both grace and truth? Is there anyone who truly understands what I'm going through? You are not alone. The Bridge Between Us is a podcast for Christian parents navigating one of the most difficult and deeply personal journeys of their lives. Each week, we offer biblical encouragement, practical wisdom, and honest conversations that help you build lasting relationships with your child while remaining firmly anchored in Scripture. You'll hear from Christian parents who have walked this road, pastors, counselors, ministry leaders, and individuals who once identified as LGBTQ and now share how Christ transformed their lives. Together, we explore how to respond with compassion, wisdom, and unwavering faith in a culture that often tells us we must choose between truth and love. You don't have to compromise your convictions to love your child well. There is a path forward—one marked by grace, truth, hope, and enduring relationship. Whether you're a parent, grandparent, pastor, counselor, or someone walking alongside a family on this journey, you'll find biblical encouragement, practical guidance, and the reminder that you don't have to walk this road alone. Helping Christian families build bridges of love while remaining anchored in God's Word.

[…] But but I would encourage that if at all possible. But be curious. Yeah, there you go. Be curious. Inquire. Want to know. But don't press, you know. Yeah. Give them the space to talk, but let them know the door is open. Yes, exactly. So. My parents didn't do that, and probably maybe I wouldn't have stayed in homosexuality as long as I did if that had happened, but that's nevertheless, that was woulda, coulda, shoulda. So I want to ask a question. I have parents that will email me and say, hey, I feel like if I allow my child's partner to come over for dinner or if we go out and have a good time with my child and their partner, then they're going to assume that we're OK with the relationship and that we are affirming them.
