Advice for the Christian Parent of a LGBTQ+ Child

Matt Linden knows what it's like to grow up as an Evangelical Christian. He grew up in Washington state attending a non-denominational Evangelical church. His father was/and is a conservative Christian. So, when Matt realized he was gay, it was a traumatic experience Since then, he has been on a journey to heal and find his faith. If you want to hear more about Matt's personal journey, please listen to episode 31.

But, in this episode we shift gears a little. I wanted to have Matt back on the show to share his heart and encouragement to Christian parents. This idea came from a final question I asked Matt in Episode 31 (What would you want parents of queer children (regardless of age) to know. He gave a wonderful answer but later emailed me more thoughts and said he wish he had been able to articulate those in the first episode. I said, "we can fix that." And that's when I reached back out to Matt and asked him to come back on the show to share.

In this chat Matthew shares his 3 biggies and they are right on point. You will also hear me express my opinion on the topic as well.

So, buckle up and get ready to take a compassionate ride into living as a Christian parent of a gay child as presented by Matt Linden. This is "Coffee with Keith."
