Mark Yarhouse is one of the most reasonable and balanced Christian voices I have heard on this subject. He has a new book, Understanding Sexual Identity, written specifically for Christian youth workers to help them understand how to allow space to have a conversation with someone who is experiencing same-sex attraction, as well as how to lovingly address all issues of gender identity in youth ministries.

These are great questions to consider, especially for any of us who haven’t yet paused to answer those questions ourselves. Personally, I think that this topic should be one we breach much more often.

This is definitely something to think through. How do you facilitate the environment to be welcoming to those who struggle with this so they can be open about it?

If a teen confessed to being gay, how would you respond?

Thanks,
