Why would anyone send their young child to a place to be exposed to this?! We are parents... We are to protect our young ones, and as they grow, use experiences in the world to teach them, but I would never take my child to a bar to explain to them alcoholism, nor would I send them to a pagan institution to learn about evolution and transgenderism. Talking to our children even an hour a day about it cannot combat the 8 hours of influence a day they have with our children. I agree with them... This is not a topic for young innocent minds, nor would I want to expose my child to it. As they grow and I have trained them in the Lord, I will teach and they will already know it is evil.

True, kids today aren’t as naive as we were as children.

We had a client who started investigating the life of transgenders , getting on social Media- meeting people who felt different, like him . He had been rejected by his mother , his and his father’s maleness criticized on a constant basis - where the girl’s were more accepted - though mom was probably abusive to them in different ways. He began to try on women’s clothing, experimenting with makeup , searched for female hormones ... Eventually he was counseled concerning this belief that women were better than men- that if he was a woman maybe his mother would have treated him differently , and maybe if he becomes one , she will finally accept and love him. Long story short- he was very hurt , felt like no one would ever really love him, desire his company, and accept him for who he is . Today he is married and looking forward to having a child. He is fully male and married to a woman.

This issue isn’t about judgement: it’s about compassion. The panelists present a balanced view on this topic. We cannot always accept what people are; but we can approach what we don’t understand or know well with compassion.

I’ve only watched 10 min and I am already crying. The concept that Kathy and Walt shared of having one’s identity so abused and marred that you will do anything to escape it breaks my heart. It also angers me, that the devil attacks the soul of a child or adult in this way. Lord help me be an instrument of love and healing to others and help those whom the enemy has tried to destroy. Let the love of Christ reign! Let the people of Christ rise up in true power and anointing from the Lord to be used in Jesus’s work of reconciliation and redemption.

Thank you so much, all of you, for being so open and willing to share and talk about. As a 76-year-old Christian, I have rejected homosexual and related situations as just being immoral, but until; today I never understood the pain and brokenness that can lead up to such a strong desire to change genders. This gives me a lot of understanding and compassion for the many people who have lived through these terrible experiences. When my nephew was just three or four years old, his parents took him to a psychiatrist because he apparently exhibited behavior that was very girlish. H eventually became a very feminine personality and behavior and is now part of the homosexual community in Mexico City. I have no idea why this happened to him, but your presentation has given me a better understanding. Thhankyou from the bottom of my heart.

In the beginning of this video it is was stated that "This video is not for young viewers"... With all due respect and concern, I say that this is the BIGGEST problem with the church right now. Young people are finding out about this topic from the world first and from the church second after they have already formed an opinion or even a lifestyle based on what the world taught them. We don't need to wait to talk to youth about this. In fact, they, more than anyone, need to hear this and they need to hear it FIRST from people like the man and women in this video who were set free through God's Love. We have to wake up as the church and give children TRUE information on all topics NOW, because the world is and they are not waiting at all.

Hello how are you doing 😊👋👋

This has been to long, we have needed these conversations for so long. thank you focus on family and Walt and Kathy grace please keep on doing these.

You’re both so incredibly brave for sharing your story! But thank you because it gives me hope for friends who’ve been walking out in this lifestyle.

This was great. I love hearing from people who have struggled and went through these issues themselves. It brings the needed perspective

Wonderful open, honest, respectful discussion. Glad I listened. I want to understand, be compassionate and insightful about the struggles of someone with transgender issues. Looking forward to the next show.

This IS a topic that should be discussed with children.

I am a Jew and thank you for showing this video.

Between avoidance and not knowing what transgenderism is, the truth to set us all free can't be ours. Precious lives are lost for the Kingdom and all of eternity. So thankful for this gracious interaction shared with us!

I’m so sorry that a pastor presumed to tell him that he wasn’t welcomed in the church. The pastor was wrong and does not represent all Christians.

Yeah, quite un loving. I think I might have sat down with Walt when he had time and try to learn. Then I would have shared with Walt where the congregation was on the topic. There is no reason he couldn't try to broker this opportunity for learning experience for everone. No guarantee but it would have been heard ans seeds planted.

This used to be the prevailing opinion in straight laced conservative christians. It wasn't ever brought up because this was the expected response.

I totally agree with you. There is a little boy 7 years old think he is a girl in a boy body. So children do need to hear this with an adult.

“You can’t affirm somebody in a different gender without at the very same time saying there’s something wrong with you the way you really are.” So correct!

I enjoyed the peaceful and professional conversation that these loving people had. Our youth is suffering right now and it is our fault. We hand them a weapon to harm themselves when we bought them a cell phone with access to all kind of information.

Many years ago I knew a woman who had 3 small boys with a married man and wouldn’t end the relationship. This woman wanted a girl so once a month she would dress her youngest 2 year old son as a little girl and call him Chrissy for a full 24 hours. She was a head case. The little boy hated this , the woman thought it was funny and cute, and said this was the only way she could have a little girl. I told her she was crazy as a loon but she wouldn’t stop. I was 19 at the time. I know this went on probably until the child was old enough to do something else, I’m sure it caused him a lifetime of mental suffering. How can people do such things to their children.?

Thank you both for your transparency helping us to help those who are hurting

Thank you for this sad, yet revealing video. I am so sorry for these people and thank you for opening my eyes and ears to what they have to say. I am humbled.

This is such an eye opener thank you for this programme

Please help pray for a family in my church, that has a young daughter that have changed name and identifies as a boy. That she will, by her self, find what she really is in christ.

Amazing stories and, as always, compassionate hosts!

Thank you for talking about this.

This is a great adult conversation. So much truth. ❤

6:42 Wow, this question is so timely and apply to a wide variety of emotional challenges: “What happened that caused you not to like who you are?” This is the question nobody is asking. We are afraid to ask. But it’s the root of almost all emotional issues one can experience. I’m thinking about drug abuse, gambling, low self esteem, you name it.

Wow , the honesty of your guest

I disagree with the opening. Why shouldn't children hear this? They need to know. The war is on the children. They are the target. Playing this and my kids will hear it

I think they put the advisory for parents to watch first, and decide if they feel it appropriate for their family. I will show it to mine, but If someone has not encountered that up close in their personal life then they may not be ready for those kind of discussions, especially with younger children. But I wish that I had seen this years ago before my girls were teenagers and realize the importance of this conversation with them. Because they're has been a lot of influence that I did not like in their lives. This is also why we have decided to pull them out and continue their education at home. Teachers who have overstepped their bounds to try to affirm ungodly things in my children. Something that years ago the parent would have gotten a call about. But now the conversation has flipped in a different direction and the teachers encourage children to keep secrets from their parents.

Corri ten Boom has a great illustration as to why children should not carry burdens they are not equipped for.

Jim Daly is so cool and has so much knowledge.

This is an INCREDIBLY helpful tool to minister to those in our circles of influence who struggle with this or similar issues!

Thank you for sharing their stories. Their heart, honesty, and openness really brought some perspective to me on this topic.

Absolutely loving how you are going at this issue with such real life people who are redeemed !!!

Wonderful interviews, thank you!
