Faith in Transition: A Pastor's Journey in Affirming His Transgender Son (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798849505817)

With over twenty-five years experience as a minister in the conservative evangelical movement, Pastor Matt Maiberger shares his shepherd's heart and theological journey in affirming his transgender child, Rowan. Written from a brutally honest perspective, Matt describes his emotional journey as a father navigating this crisis of faith. In this book, Matt describes wrestling with questions like:

• How do I reconcile my conservative Christian beliefs and a child who is gender-questioning?
• How do I accept and affirm my trans kid while simultaneously pastoring a conservative evangelical church?
• How can I love God and affirm my child being transgender?
• Can I use my trans kid's preferred name and pronouns and honor God at the same time?
• Is being transgender a sin?

Intertwined with his own personal faith experience, Pastor Matt explains the Eight Foundational Truths that led to him accepting and affirming Rowan. Each truth is explained from a Biblical perspective and is rooted in the unconditional love of God.

If you are the parent of a gender-questioning, transgender, or gender-dysphoric child, this book is for you. Written from a faith-based perspective, this book is also an excellent resource for pastors, youth leaders, school teachers, or anyone wanting to expand their understanding of the transgender community from a new viewpoint.
