Or maybe you have conversations with a friend or family member, and they ask hard questions about your faith, and you don't feel adequate in your Biblical knowledge to respond? If that is you, you are not alone, and you are in the right place, my friend! My name is Missy Eversole, and I'm a wife, mom, author, speaker, Colson Fellow, and a friend who loves to grab a cup of coffee, sit around the table and talk about Jesus. For years, I didn't have the courage to speak boldly about my relationship with Jesus because I felt inadequate. In my mind, no one would care about what I'd have to say if I didn't have a degree in theology. But here's what I've learned: you don't need a theology degree to be the light for Jesus!

In today's episode, Missy sits down with Denise Shick, founder and executive director of Help 4 Families Ministries and Living Stones Ministries. Denise shares her deeply personal story of growing up with a father who identified as transgender, how that experience shaped her childhood, and how God redeemed her pain to equip her to minister to families walking through similar struggles today. This conversation dives into the cultural rise of gender ideology, the emotional and spiritual wounds that often lie beneath gender confusion, the impact on families, and why the church must respond with both clarity and compassion rooted in Scripture. In this episode, you'll hear about: How Denise's childhood experience shaped her understanding of identity, grief, and God's design. Why the transgender movement has accelerated so dramatically in the last decade. The dangers and misconceptions surrounding medical transitions—especially among minors. How parents and churches can protect children and respond with biblical truth. The crucial need for the church to support those who detransition. Remember to live boldly for Jesus and let your light shine bright for Him!
