HOLY SEXUALITY AND THE GOSPEL || Dr. Christopher Yuan Video

We all know someone who identifies as gay, lesbian, or bisexual. How can Christians better share Jesus with our loved ones and friends in the LGBT community? What have we gotten wrong? How can we improve? Dr. Christopher Yuan combines his life experiences and his theological and biblical language background to teach a fully gospel-centric approach without any compromise of truth or grace. This will help us to think right (orthodoxy) before doing right (orthopraxy). After this session, Dr. Yuan will be taking questions from the audience.

Sexuality and Gender Publication
About

The "Sexuality and Gender" report, published by the Center for the Study of Technology and Society, aims to provide a comprehensive overview of current scientific research related to sexual orientation and gender identity.

The report draws on findings from various disciplines, including biology, psychology, and social sciences. It examines a wide range of topics, delving into the biological, environmental, and hormonal factors that influence sexuality and gender identity. Additionally, it explores the connection between brain structure and function and sexual orientation.

A significant portion of the report focuses on health outcomes associated with sexual orientation and gender identity. It highlights the concerning trend of higher rates of depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and even suicide among lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender individuals compared to the general population. The report emphasizes the need to address these disparities and improve the well-being of LGBTQ+ communities.

The report also acknowledges the complexities surrounding transgender healthcare, particularly for those who have undergone sex-reassignment surgery. While acknowledging the potential benefits of such procedures, the report highlights the continued presence of higher risks for negative mental health outcomes, including suicide attempts and deaths.

Finally, the report acknowledges the specific considerations regarding children and gender identity. It emphasizes the fact that not all children who experience feelings of gender nonconformity will continue to identify as transgender in adulthood. The report underscores the importance of approaching these situations with sensitivity and avoiding premature medical interventions.
