Training Christian Kids to be Transgender

This video recently surfaced of a ministry director from North Point church. That’s Andy Stanley’s church, which I’ve written about here. If you can stomach to watch the video, he describes North Point’s approach to ministering to kids who experience “gender dysphoria.”

Here’s my thoughts on the video.

1: Britt Kitchen speaks in a maximally winsome, sing-songy voice, which is a dead ringer that the speaker is hiding something. It's emotional manipulation and flattery. Go look up Romans 16:17-18

2. Kitchen relies exclusively on therapeutic language (dysphoria, safe space, uncomfortable, etc), studiously avoiding the language of scripture (sin, righteous, repentance)

3. He also avoids the word "child." The individual in his example is only five years old, but he uses the word "student," which is more abstract and doesn't sound as damning.

He mentions several steps the parents went through:

Step 1: They took the child to a child psychologist. I wonder if these parents knew that a child psychologists are trained to NEVER challenge the child's expressed gender identity?

Step 2: They start using alternate pronouns at home

Step 3: They pick a new name and allow the child to dress as the opposite sex

Step 4: They ask family to go along and do the same

Step 5: They pursue medical intervention, like hormone blockers, knowing that "surgery will probably come later in life"

Step 6: They ask schools to use new name and pronouns

Step 7: They left their church. Everyone else in their lives had been coerced and bullied into compliance, but the church wouldn't go along. They said church ended up being the only place where they had to "pretend to be someone else." So they left.

Praise God for this church for standing their ground against this family's madness.

Step 8: They discussed "upper" and "bottom" surgeries (on a child!!!).

Kitchen emphasized that this process played out over a long, long, long time, and they went slow, slow. How long? About "five or six years."

That's not a long time. That's shorter than elementary school.

Kitchen celebrates the fact that 75% of people who experience this do not complete the change. Another way to look at it is 25% of children do, which means these children are permanently locked into a body-altering ideology.

All of this is couched in language of compassion, saying they want to be a church where people feel loved. They didn't want North Point to be the "last place the student feels comfortable."

There you have it. North Point Community Church worships the god of self. Comfortable feelings is their god, and they will mutilate their bodies to worship it.

Andy Stanley, I beg you, repent of this. This not only harms children, this is blasphemy. God is not mocked. You will reap what you sow.

Lord, have mercy.
