Walt Heyer Interview: Transgenderism, Identity Issues, and Practical Christianity

Identity is something that is vastly important to all of us. Most of us, at one time or another, have been frustrated with who we are as we continuously compare ourselves to others or are unsatisfied with various aspects our lives (2 Corinthians 10:12). Add to this a huge increase in mental health difficulties, a rise in traumatic experiences for young people, and a culture that only ever affirms different behavior (even when harmful), and you have a society primed for identity issues.

Join us on Truth Be Told as we interview Mr. Walt Heyer, an author, presenter, father, husband, and ex-transgender as we delve into the topic of transgenderism. The narrative that Christians hate people struggling with transgenderism is obscenely false: loving a person and affirming their actions are not synonymous.

If the word "transgender" is something that makes you angry, I urge you to listen to this from the standpoint of having love for a brother or sister who is struggling. If you are someone who previously believed that affirming actions is the only way to show love, I ask that you listen to this from an analytical point of view and with an open mind. If you are someone struggling with transgenderism, I ask that you listen with hope because, no matter where you find yourself in life, God always offers a way back (1 Corinthians 10:13). 

Our identity is in Christ (Galatians 2:20) and in that identity there is strength: both to overcome transgender and identity issues if you are struggling, and to assist those in overcoming if we are already blessed with strength in that area of our lives.
