Episode 64: Becoming the You God Wants You to Be

(Parents, this is the first in a series designed to help kids deal with gender confusion by showing them that no matter what they like or what they look like or what they are good at, they are still boys and girls. When we try to push kids into filling stereotypical roles, we’re often the ones creating the confusion that they are forced to find a way to live with. I do this without making any mention of sexuality whatsoever. I will be following this up with a program this week on Character in Context where I talk to adults about how we have caused this problem, and especially within the Church.)
