RESOURCES
We know that conversations around homosexuality, transgenderism, and pornography can be challenging, but we believe they are also an opportunity for growth and understanding. Our hope is that these resources will equip and encourage you as we engage in these important topics together. We are excited to see how God will work through this series, trusting that He will guide, comfort, and strengthen us all. We believe He has something powerful in store for each of us, and we look forward to witnessing what He will do in and through our church community.
Resources
Below are resources that have been gathered by our staff relating to the topics we have covered during our Impossible Conversations series. We hope that these resources are beneficial to you as you process through these topics, start conversations, and dive deeper into what God is teaching us!
Our Faith Assistant (in the bottom right of our website) is a great resource if you want to ask biblical questions about these (or any!) topics. This resource allows you to ask questions and stay anonymous if you would like.
If you have any questions or want to speak to pastor, please reach out to info@lakeland.church.
