Sex and gender. They’re hot topics in today’s society, aren’t they? Perhaps you’ve heard cultural claims that don’t seem to line up with the biblical foundation you’ve been taught at home or at church, statements like, “There are multiple genders” or “Gender is just a construct.” Maybe you’ve met someone who questions whether he’s male or female, or you have a female friend who is struggling to know which pronouns to use. Or perhaps it’s you. Perhaps you’re contemplating puberty blockers because you need time to figure out who you are. If so, this infographic, and its series, is for you. PDF and physical print options available below.

What if you or someone you know is experiencing same-sex attraction? What if you’re confused about your sexual orientation in general? What does God have to say? Take heart; your struggle is real, and you are not alone. You are not forsaken; instead, you are loved. Even more, there is hope and healing for you in Jesus and His mercy. If you have asked any of the above questions, this Y4Life infographic is for you. PDF and physical print options available below.
“At the core of the biblical mindset on sex, we find the true source of nourishment from which all behaviors derive: God’s value of every human life. This value is what captivates and empowers the way we approach human sexuality ourselves and how we teach it to others. When we comprehend the immeasurable love of God for us, His most priceless possessions, it changes a person’s very sense of self and worth … “So, what is the real “comprehensive” behind comprehensive sex ed? That you matter. You’ve always mattered. And Jesus is the proof.”
