Learning that your child identifies as LGBTQ may seem like an impossible situation to navigate. As parents, we all have unspoken ideas of what our child’s life could look like as they grow. So, what happens when things change unexpectedly? Pastor Jonas Hill discusses this scenario with guest Melinda Patrick; author, speaker, podcast host, and Director of Parent Support at His Wonderful Works. Melinda’s book, The Daring Rescue: Joining Jesus Christ In His Pursuit Of Your LGBTQ-Identified Child's Heart  takes center stage during this conversation as she recounts her journey with her LGBTQ-identifying daughter - and what God did (and continues to do) in Melinda’s heart, “What I’ve learned on this journey is that my child is not a problem to fix, but a person to love.” This honest dialogue is full of wisdom and encouragement for any parent who loves their prodigal child.
