In this episode of the YNF podcast, Brittany talks about the recent news of the Trump administration ending the 988 suicide prevention specialized service for LGBTQ+ youth in July, challenging Christians to develop a better understanding of & compassion for the community by the leading of Christ & His Word.
Key points:
- A huge setback: greed & hatred under the guise of budget cuts.
- Highlighting the hypocrisy by HHS in understanding the vital need & benefit of 988 for everyone, yet making target cuts.
- Exercising the greatest commandments isn't the same as compromising beliefs; beliefs in & interpretation of scripture don't justify stripping access to helpful resources or supporting an administration willing to do so.
- Choose life, & help others do the same.
- Matthew 22:37-40!
