In this episode of Made for More, Dr. Roger Erdvig and Dr. Maggie Pope are joined by Dr. Jeff Myers, president of Summit Ministries, to talk about how parents can faithfully navigate the cultural messages surrounding gender identity—especially during Pride Month. Together, they offer practical strategies rooted in a biblical worldview to help children of all ages understand their identity in Christ and who they were made to be in God’s image. Whether you're raising toddlers or teens, we believe this conversation will equip you to engage with your children about these difficult cultural issues.

Later this year, Dr. Jeff Myers will be releasing a new book on this topic, co-authored with Dr. Kathy Koch. It’s a great resource for Immanuel parents who are looking for solid, biblically grounded guidance—it’s definitely one to watch for.
