If you haven't noticed, the world is attempting to detach gender from sex and produce extra
00:00:06.520
biblical categories of personhood. In other words, people are trying to redefine what they did not
00:00:11.100
design. And they're doing this not only at the university, but also at the elementary.

As Christians, we're called to tear down anything that stands up against the truth of God's word.

Paul in 2 Corinthians 10.5 says, we destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against
00:00:25.080
the knowledge of God. Ultimately, as Christians, we don't only need to be bold, assertive, and
00:00:29.460
loving, but we also need to be intelligent and wise enough to take down arguments contrary to
00:00:34.340

We must show our children that the binary model is perpetuated throughout the scriptures,
00:00:55.940
taught by the apostles and affirmed by Jesus Christ himself in Matthew 19.
00:01:00.900
But more than that, we need to show them that binary gender is biologically undeniable,
00:01:05.360
the only model for human flourishing and reproduction,
00:01:07.820
and has never been questioned by cultures before us.

Now, will people hate you for teaching your kids this way?
00:01:14.660
Will culture try to convert the hearts and minds of your children anyway?
00:01:21.100
It's our newest children's book, Jesus and My Gender,
00:01:23.660
a theologically sound and playful presentation of the biblical model for male and female.
