A child choosing an LGBTQ+ lifestyle can bring with it concern and heartbreak for your child and family. But for Pastors and church leaders, it can also bring a swirl of questions about your ministry.

In today’s episode, Parents and Family Ministry Director Joan McConnell addresses a series of questions pastors and church leaders may be wrestling with.

  • How could this happen?
  • What did I do to cause this?
  • What can I do to fix this?
  • Do my child’s choices and conduct mean that I have not “managed my household well?”
  • Do my child’s choices and conduct negate my call to ministry?
  • Do my child’s choices and conduct mean that I should consider a ministry hiatus?
  • Will I be defeated by my child’s choices, or will I move on trusting the Lord?
