struggled to tell friends, acquaintances, coworkers or neighbors about Jesus without closing doors or being obnoxious.

Ministering to the Refugees of the Sexual Revolution

Mr. Jim Barr

The fallout of the Sexual Revolution is visible all around us. The dissolution of families. Gender confusion. Social isolation and loneliness. What God created as "good" is now so twisted and corrupted that families no longer function as God intended. The "refugees" of the sexual revolution are our neighbors, coworkers, classmates -- and are sitting beside us in church. This workshop will explore compassionate ways to walk alongside family and friends who are struggling with sexual confusion and brokenness. It will introduce resources to help explore God's design for sex, sexuality and gender. How to help those who have been affected by it, and how to equip the next generation to restore faithfulness to biblical sexuality and point them to the transforming power of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
