00:00:00.000 Where did you get the idea for the book, Jesus and My Gender?
00:00:03.540 Yeah, I think that there was a lack of resources around the topic of transgenderism,
00:00:10.880 which obviously we're seeing even this morning, we were talking about
00:00:14.000 how Matt Walsh is really hitting this issue hard.
00:00:18.260 There was a lack of resources.
00:00:20.820 There's so many individuals out there that are needing answers to hard questions.
00:00:26.820 these parents that are going, hey, my child is being confronted with this content at school.
00:00:32.140 Their friends are changing their gender. Trans theory is being taught in the public school system. 0.57
00:00:38.680 They're seeing bathroom signs that have the cross gender. You know, it's like the half man, 0.98
00:00:43.920 half woman, half dress kind of icon. And so these conversations are coming up.
00:00:48.700 Yeah, they're getting kind of hit from every angle.
00:00:50.540 Yeah, I think I saw some stat that was saying that by the age of five, children will have over a thousand instances of sexual perversion. And so they're going to see that just in public, especially if you live in like a big city, or if you're, you know, your kids are maybe on YouTube or on the internet, those things kind of slip in TV commercials, TV shows.
00:01:18.680 it's just everywhere and so we are at a point in the church where christian parents need resources
00:01:26.120 to not necessarily build an apologetic against the transgender and trans theory movement but
00:01:32.980 really to affirm biblical gender and roles for their boys and girls and so we wanted to create
00:01:42.820 resource that was you know well designed i mean i think that i hope if you're not new here that
00:01:49.460 you learn that we really care about design over at relearn and so everything we do we try to do well
00:01:56.100 and so we wanted to write a good book with great illustrations brad smith was the illustrator on
00:02:01.700 the project and he worked really hard to make the illustrations fun he's a professional illustrator
00:02:07.940 working with some of the biggest publishing houses around and so it's a great uh illustrations and
00:02:13.300 then i i made it a rhyming book right it's really fun for younger children um you know little kids
00:02:19.300 preschool age younger elementary really love that rhyming it helps you know developmentally with
00:02:24.980 their with the way that they learn um and i think about like really nice touch and as a parent i
00:02:31.220 like rhyming books better i don't know why like we read that pilgrim's progress book that was
00:02:37.060 a full rhyming book of pilgrims progress and that was fun to read i don't know maybe it's just me
00:02:41.060 that i like rhyming books um so that was a great opportunity to write this book in a rhyming uh
00:02:45.860 rhyming way but again we just wanted to offer tools and resources to affirm biblical gender
00:02:52.500 a strong offense is the best defense if that makes sense for example i love having a really 0.73
00:03:00.180 beautiful lawn now i don't get to do that here not in arizona not in arizona but in oregon rocks
00:03:06.420 guys. In Oregon, I was the lawn guy. I had like an acre of grass that I would be almost the kind
00:03:12.740 of guy that would get out there with scissors, but not that far. And the best defense is a good
00:03:18.680 offense. Meaning that the best defense is to have really strong grass kills weeds. And so
00:03:26.300 the same thing here is really strong identity and their biblical gender actually will fight
00:03:34.340 against any perversion of it and so uh that's the attempt for for this book great all right
00:03:42.000 what is the goal behind writing this book yeah the goal i i want um to see parents
00:03:49.120 have a sense of confidence and normalcy of affirming these kind of truths in their kids
00:03:55.720 i don't want them to feel uh like they're there's almost like a sense of if you're talking about
00:04:02.480 of these things, you're mean or you're unloving.
00:04:05.480 It's like, no, this is, you know.
00:04:07.980 It is loving your children, discipling them, teaching them,
00:04:12.040 training them up in the admonition and training of the Lord.
00:04:14.380 Yes, it is.
00:04:16.180 I just put out something on social media
00:04:18.520 that a great way to love your, 0.86
00:04:20.440 or rejecting trans theory is a great way
00:04:22.960 to love your neighbor.
00:04:24.360 And playing into people's delusions
00:04:28.100 is a great way to hate your neighbor.
00:04:30.320 And this is true even with our own children.
00:04:33.060 It's a great way to love your children
00:04:35.040 is to teach them what is true about who they are.
00:04:39.580 God doesn't make mistakes.
00:04:40.880 There is no opportunity or chance 0.99
00:04:43.380 that a boy is stuck into a girl's body
00:04:46.340 because God doesn't make those mistakes.
00:04:48.680 He made us male and female.
00:04:50.040 And so the goal is to really affirm children
00:04:56.040 in who they are.
00:04:57.860 And by giving them a vision of who they are,
00:05:01.200 helping your little boys and your little girls
00:05:04.360 see not just what they are as little boys,
00:05:06.540 but what they will become as men and women.
00:05:09.120 Giving them vision.
00:05:10.320 Yes, and just, so the goal,
00:05:13.440 and the goal is two-sided, right?
00:05:15.000 It's the parents that get to feel prepared and equipped
00:05:19.740 and affirmed that it is good and right and true
00:05:24.240 to teach these things to your children.
00:05:26.620 even if we're living in a culture that says that's unloving or mean and then it's also for the children so that they would feel confident and rest in the gender that the Lord has given them and have no doubts and have no concerns about that, but actually be excited to be a boy and be excited to be a girl and be excited for what that means for the future.
00:05:56.620 We'll be right back.
