Roundtable Discussion: Navigating Gender & Identity Together | Ep. 5

Welcome to the Upside-Down Parenting podcast from Summit Ministries! As parents, we know life can sometimes feel disorienting, overwhelming, maybe even upside-down. We're here to journey with you as you parent your kids to embrace God's upside-down kingdom and way of life.

On today's episode, we're doing something special. We're bringing back all the hosts from our previous episodes for a roundtable conversation where they'll tackle some of the most pressing, real-life questions about gender, sexuality, identity, and what it means to follow Jesus in today's cultural landscape. These are the kinds of topics that families wrestle with around the dinner table, in late-night conversations, and in moments of quiet reflection. It's a chance to hear practical wisdom, biblical insight, and honest discussion from trusted voices you've already gotten to know.

Summit's newest book, Raising Gender-Confident Kids, written by Dr. Jeff Myers and Dr. Kathy Koch, is full of biblical wisdom, practical guidance, and real-life examples. It isn't a book just for families in crisis—it's for every mom and dad who wants their children to embrace God's good design with joy and courage. Get your free copy at genderconfidentkids.com.
