 Hi everyone Thank you so much for coming out Lord multiply the seats if we need to because it'll be Too time-consuming to move so if we do get more folks in maybe some of the gentlemen can just stand and let some ladies sit but um I Can't tell you how much it means to me to see the parents out Because my heart is for the youth. I love you guys obviously, but I have such a heart for the youth I served in my own youth group in my church in New Jersey for over eight years still have relationships with Many of them and their children But it's hard when I can't tell the kids that Mom and dad understand so they're a safe place. So go home and talk to your mom and dad about this But when you guys have a better understanding of what Gen Z is experiencing or your older children But I go to youth group So I'm probably not going to be talking to your older children But for those of you with Gen Z children when when I can tell them that that your mom and and dad care about you So much they took a night out to calm it and learn more It really sets the tone for the rest of the night sharing with the kids. We know that kids won't Generally say it but mom and dad. You're the most important person in their lives You're the one that they want respect From and love from even when they're Giving you the eye roll or whatever. It's you It's you. So thank you for being here. I just want to open with scripture because I will admit and the Lord knows My words always fail my words always fail fail, but God's word Never fails. His word is forever settled in heaven. Amen Second Timothy chapter 1 Starting in verse 8. We'll see how far the Lord takes me Second Timothy chapter 1 verse 8 Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord nor of me his prisoner But share with me in the sufferings for the gospel according to the power of God Who has saved us and called us with a holy calling not according to our works But according to his own purpose and grace Which was given to us in Christ Jesus Before time began and then verse 12 for this reason I also Suffer these things nevertheless. I am not ashamed for I know whom I have believed and I am Persuaded that he is able to keep what I have committed to him until That day so thank you Lord that your word is truth. Thank you that you have given us a heart to to repent and believe and receive the free gift of salvation Through Christ Jesus. Thank you Lord that we were once dead But we are alive in you so that we can be filled with you For your glory's sake for our sake and to edify the body of Christ knit together as one in you and to show a dying World who you are so be with us now lead and guide and direct this time we have together God We love you and we praise you and we lift this up in Jesus name Amen So as as Josh has said my name is Patti height and The ministry that God has given me is out of Egypt ministries I am not Egyptian and tried to get out of Egypt Middle Eastern food is my favorite food Egypt in the spiritual sense my place of slavery and bondage was my understandable Financial self-proclaimed identity of gay and and gender nonconformed leaning in the masculine That was my place of bondage was actually what I called my freedom But praise be to God he took me out of that bondage and brought me into his promised land and set my feet on his firm foundation and So that doesn't matter my name. I don't even want you to remember my name when you leave here What I want you to remember is who our God is and that he fights for you and he's fighting for your children And our God is a God of victory. Listen Satan knows He can't take your life So he's trying to steal your hope. Don't let him. We have victory. We have victory So before I start I just want to share as we're talking about kids tonight I want to share these verses from Deuteronomy Chapter 6 verses 4 through 7 Deuteronomy 6 4 through 7 Here, oh Israel the Lord our God the Lord is one you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart with all your soul And with all your strength and these words which I command you today shall be in your heart. Listen You shall teach them Deligently to your children and shall talk of them when you sit in your house when you walk by the way When you lie down and when you rise up So the world is teaching our children anything and everything But how to love the Lord with every part of who they are and how to keep his word They're actually telling our kids The social media Protests the news Big business everyone is telling our kids that that if they're following his word That they're actually being hateful towards certain people groups The world seems to have gone mad It's crazy. I feel like after I I Study and and see what's happening and and look to see what's going on in the various platforms that I I have to Understand and see and be aware of I feel like I need to take my eyes out at night and and wash them and That's just through a screen But people are experiencing it Face-to-face as Josh was saying some of these you know I for years. I didn't Post too much on social media. I'm more of a stalker than a poster But you know I can't it's you know pride month is it's gone up a notch or two Even back when I would go to pride parades in New Jersey in New York City because of where I lived I got a two for each month Even then I was kind of like especially when I was in the city in New York City I was a little bit like You know you be be people walking like going down Christopher Street or whatever and it's like yeah Yeah, yeah, and then you'd see something out of float and it's like I do not want to see that and That was me in the life in my 20s and 30s and Now there's parents there with their their children And so I'm going all out. I'm posting it all on social media I don't know of any of you that follow me, but did you guys see that Burger King post? Then does anybody follow me on social media? Thank you Josh But it's it's if you just look at it It's just two burgers with some rainbow colors and then Burger King on the bottom and the E is like the rainbow But if you look closer one burger is two top buns and the other burger is two bottom buns and It's more than just Same same It's top and bottom, which is very sexual because being a top. I'm sorry. We're gonna get wrong real tonight if you guys Just remember I love you Being a top or being a bottom is very big in the gay community whether you are Sexually a top or sexually a bottom and they're putting it at Burger King So when we take our five-year-olds through the drive-through This is what they see and what if Satan's already planting seeds of deception in their heart and they start asking questions You know what? They're gonna remember from these things that they see when they're little They'll remember that but they won't remember the beautiful birthday party that you had for them because that's what Satan does He tries to steal our memories Man, I can't wait for the Lord's return Calm Lord Jesus calm All right, if I go that much off my notes, we're gonna be here till nine. Thank you childcare But I'm sure 20 years ago none of us thought that we would be having a packed room of Parents night to find out all that we can about LGBT Concerns and yet this is where we find ourselves So what we're gonna be going through tonight is is if the Lord leads me to my notes We're gonna be talking about some things to look for things we can do in our home to to be proactive with this It's it's we're gonna generally talk about our Littles and then our tweens and teens and because there's so much to talk about I'm probably not going to have a lot of time to talk about our adult children But we are gonna have a time of Q&A so hopefully we can talk there and as well as Those what do I do when or what do I do if questions? Okay? so The first thing I want to say this is this is you ready? mom and dad Take a deep breath God is good and God is sovereign and he knew this was coming for us He knew there was going to be such a time as this He knew as he was knitting you together in your mother's womb He knew what would be taking place as he was knitting your child together in your home God has prepared us for this because he's a good God actually says in Acts chapter 17 That that he formed us all from one blood and that he has given us pre-appointed times and pre-appointed Places so that we would grope for him So our time in our place Chino Valley 2022 he's appointed this and here we are groping for him. It's actually a beautiful thing Even though it doesn't seem that way. Does that make sense you guys? Okay? So I just want to talk about how we can biblically and practically navigate our families in the LGBT plus Culture that we live in we know that social media is loaded with gay and trans Ideology, I mean it is loaded Social that's pretty much what social media is now either blatant or underlying We know that every TV show has a gay or trans character cartoons in Disney don't even get me started with Disney So what do we do with that? Do we get scared? Do we get angry? Do we get vocal? Do we get complacent? Do we throw our hands in the air and conform to the culture because we feel defeated and exhausted talking about it and hearing about it? Do we question God's word all of a sudden because now our kid is identifying? And we know that our kid is is a good kid. How could this happen to our family? We raise them in the foundation of the truth. Maybe I've read the truth wrong It's happening everywhere But God do we bury our heads in the sand and pretend it'll eventually go away. We cannot do that Do we tell ourselves it won't affect our children because they've been raised in a Christian home? Or do we trust what the Lord says in Romans 8 28 when he says all things work together? For good to those who love God and to those who are the called according to his purpose We're not just called you guys. We are the called That's a big deal We have to trust the Lord's working mightily in this culture we live in even though it seems like Satan is winning He's already lost. He's basically spinning his wheels But we're getting caught in the dust of that. And so what do we do with that? we know that Our enemy studies us and he knows One of the biggest ways to attack us is in our most vulnerable place, which is what our children But again take that deep breath because God is good God is sovereign He is in control So i'm just going to briefly share a part of my story so that you know that I have experience in the area of Sexual and gender confusion and that confusion led to deception that deception led to behavior and that behavior Ultimately led to an identity and then a lifestyle But thank you lord it's Lifestyle dot dot dot and now just in all caps life No more style to it, baby. Well, I try to do style But it's just life now You should have seen my style when I first got saved. Thank you lord for the church that I grew up in in new jersey That were so patient with me Took me a long time to stop Shopping in the men's department, but praise god. I am this flowering feminine butt of a whatever in front of you now And I'm not called bud anymore. So that's good too He's so good So I want to share again how we can share with our younger children and our tweens and teens and and um hoping we have time for that That q&a so when I was a child that growing up I was born in 1966 makes me 55 don't do the math I want your attention elsewhere elsewhere, but but so So back then we didn't have play dates right so I just played with neighborhood kids and for me it was it was perfect Because my best friends in the little part of my neighborhood were all boys And it worked perfect for me because whether they were boys or not I still was I don't want to say identifying as a boy because those weren't words we used back then I just thought I was a boy I was very confused about my My gender which wasn't a word back then Dr. Money hadn't created gender identity yet. That's a whole nother workshop But I just thought I was a boy So when I was old enough to realize That I wasn't a boy by the words I were here was hearing Because johnny was being called brother and son and and him and I was being called Daughter and girl and and her and so I'm like wait a minute. Johnny and I were the same What what is happening here? And is I don't remember how my parents Talked to me through that but apparently they felt like they weren't I don't know doing doing a good job of it Because when I was eight years old my mom took me to the doctor and said my daughter thinks she's a boy. What should we do? And the doctor didn't really know what to do He just said well, you know what she'll grow out of it. She'll make a fine wife someday Just let her be her Well, actually that very limited Diagnosis or treatment that he gave her was actually very Practical and real because over 90 of kids that are confused by their gender when they make their way through puberty no longer have That deep confusion about it, but I was not one of those kids I was still Very confused about my gender. So I began to hate my body And so I started to self injure my body Very very much and my self injury actually started at five and six years old and it was it was very uh It was a very dark place in a very dark time for me So I didn't know what to do with this body that I hated and because I had injured it so much There were marks all over my body So I hid behind very baggy boy Clothes it is hot in here, isn't it? Is there like some air or something that turn on those ceiling fans, brother I don't know where they are. They're they're inside the wall. They're They have a very awesome church here. You'll hear Then they'll come down and start spinning It's a good thing. I don't get distracted So as I got a little bit older, I realized that I liked Girls and I wanted to date girls But I knew I couldn't because of the abusive ridicule I would have gotten back then so I didn't date anybody So now this along with experiencing sexual abuse Caused me to feel very isolated and alone So the only thing I could think of to do Because I didn't know God. I had no support system anywhere. I was the only I wasn't an only child But I was 15 and 13 years younger than my brother and sister So I was living as an only child in my home. No one to talk to thank God. No internet to go to So not knowing God. I handled everything in my own strength And so the only thing I could think of to do to take away this intense pain Was to start drinking and doing drugs So for me that started at 12 years old massive amount of drugs By the time I was 14. I was a drug addicted alcoholic by the time I was 17. I did over 30 hits of lsd which One hit can send you into a la la land that you never Come back from but I did not want to be sober because when I was in sober when I was sober I was confused about my body about my sexuality and why my body was being used for such horrific things When I graduated high school I tried adapting to what I thought my parents in the culture the world wanted of me Which was to be with a man or a boy and and so I was at a party and this guy asked me out on a date which I'd never been out on a date With a guy before I'd been sexually active with men because when I was 14 and needed drugs and they were 30 something And I was at the same party as them. I exchanged myself For those drugs, but no one saw me no one took time to see me and ask anything about me, but this guy did So i'm like, you know what? He sees me That's new Let's give this a try and if I go out with him, maybe it'll take away my same sex attraction and my gender confusion So I went out with him and then actually a year later. I married him I was a 19 year old same sex attracted gender confused drug addicted alcoholic teenager And he was a 27 year old man that had just been released from prison for armed robbery with no job living with his grandmother And i'm like i'll do it Because I don't want this same sex attraction. I don't want this gender confusion. I will do whatever it takes to get rid of it And I thought that was my out But it wasn't it just made things work worse because I became more gender confused And then he started to physically abuse me And so I set it right in my heart right then all men are bad I made a vow in my heart to never be with a man again Instead i'm going to become a man so that I can have the power To stop anything and anyone that comes against me again And so I came out I left him I came out Started identifying as as gay. I had a brief lesbian identity, but that was too much of a A woman's identity so identified as as gay and I started identifying in the masculine immediately And I felt freedom for the first time in my life And that freedom was real to me Dressing and identifying in the masculine Was was a relief because it made me feel safe It was deception I felt free but what I was experiencing was deception But it was understandable that I was being deceived by that Circumstantially from what I had experienced, but it still doesn't make it freedom What I experienced was horrendous But it still doesn't make that true it does it still makes that deception And so many of our children don't understand that the the things that they're really experiencing Our deception because the world is telling them the opposite Our kids it used to be like people our age right my age Even though I wasn't raised in the truth of who god was the truth of who jesus christ was Culturally we still had a foundation of truth. There was men and there was women There was straight and there was gay and and and that was it when it comes to to sexuality But you know there was you know America was good and I mean there was everything was truth So when a lie came It would have to penetrate the truth and make its way in Now our kids are being raised up on lies Their foundation is lies and it starts in kindergarten with their curriculum And now we have the truth and the truth is trying to come in and penetrate those lies It's a whole different ballgame but God So I was walking around in this newfound freedom And I was actively involved in the gay community and I had very in relationships with with women and and Realized that I wanted to settle down and and meet someone and spend the rest of my life with someone and I Met that someone I never loved anyone like I loved her. I felt like she completed all the parts of me that were lacking She was the only person in the world I trusted and my desire was to give her my whole heart and I thought I did but What I didn't realize is there was a part of my heart that I could never give her It was a part of my heart that had been damaged by other people and had been damaged by the way I was living The way I was living was damaging my heart, but I didn't realize that I was living my truth I was walking in freedom now or so I thought But it was the part of my heart that was dead It was dead from sin and she couldn't touch it She couldn't have it and she couldn't fill it But god could and god did he's such an amazing god Amen In december of 2002 god met me when both my girlfriend and I cried out to him at the same time and asked him If the way we were living is wrong. You can go on my website and hear the full story. It's pretty Like taking myself out of the situation and looking at it. I'm like, wow, that's pretty wild God's really miraculous But he answered us by taking us into his holy word in both the old testament and the new testament So that in january of 2003 I came to fully believe in the lord jesus surrendered everything to god including my sexuality My gender identity and my girlfriend We both got saved the same day walked in as lovers left as sisters never to be with each other again. Amen She's still walking with the lord. She's a missionary in countries doing things that I can't talk about because it's Illegal praise the lord, but that's that's who god is Listen, this is going to be illegal soon. I just had to up the insurance on my ministry Um for for legal, you know the legal insurance and stuff because i'm curious if within the next five years that i'll be prison ministry Praise the god there's There's a lot of lesbians there that I can minister to because it's gay for the stay so wherever god sends me but I realized god loved me in a way that nobody Ever could and with that love it changed my life But I had this new identity in living this abundant life in him I still had struggles but everything that I struggled with I actually brought to the lord in prayer because I learned right from the start Bring everything to god. I devoured the bible. I got saved in january read through the whole bible by june read through the new testament again By the end of the year and I've been reading through the bible every year since it's been 19 years The word of god Is a life changer if you are not in the word You are not getting the abundance of the lord that he wants you to have in him So I just asked god questions asking what was the origin of all this stuff that I had and that's when he began showing me that My own perception to certain events in my childhood led me to be deceived. My perception led to deception But god was showing me how to walk in his truth instead because truth brings life even when the truth is hard Even when the truth the enemy would come in so often and say things like You're going to be alone for the rest of your life now. How are you going to manage that? And so I learned very quickly. I learned it from sigh rogers amazing man. He's with the lord now But I learned to take little index cards and write the lie on on the front of the card and flip the card over On the back with the truth from god's word I will be with you. I will never leave you and forsake you. Okay, so i'm not alone The world is telling me I need a physical partner, but god is telling me that he's my husband and I will never be alone So I was in deep deception and I didn't even have the internet like our kids do now And that's why we have to teach and reaffirm the truth of god's word to our children We have to counteract the deception with god's truth daily. Listen daily daily daily As we and they are coming and going and I don't care if your kid is five or 17 and rolling their eyes at you Before they leave your home or like your five-year-old when they get up in the morning or if you want to do it Pray over them and then as they get up read god's word over them In the morning in the midday and in the evening and that's why I opened with Deuteronomy chapter 6 But it's not just teaching our children the truth of the bible the truth of creation and the truth of salvation in christ jesus We have to be the conversation starters about sex and gender At at an age. We never thought we would have to I'm sorry that you guys are having to have these conversations with your young children But you have to be the conversation starter because whatever kids hear first is what they believe At least for a time So if what they hear first is a lie, then they're going to have that foundation of a lie and you're going to have to penetrate that lie with the truth It's more than just the birds and bees talk when they're in puberty we have to start to tell them about these sexual images and Other things that they're seeing when they go to the bank or when they go to burger king There's images everywhere You're going to have gay neighbors. They're going to have gay teachers gay politicians gay family members So whether your kid goes to public school or is homeschooled or goes to a christian private school Your child is going to be indoctrinated Hands down no dot dot. They are being indoctrinated and just a little side thing the whole trans thing Is way more than indoctrination now. It's become very cult-like And it's very dangerous and I have these two books that I highly suggest You get if you have a child dealing with anything Concerning their gender. I actually I think you should just get it and read it anyway This one is called desist detrans and detox Getting your child out of the gender cult and this one is irreversible damage The transgender craze seducing our daughters. I'll put them back on the thing back there But you can see I have written on their o o e m. Please don't take them They are my last copies So we have to tell them the truth of god's intention Over creation. So please when your children are little Every single week You may be even a couple of times a week. You need to read genesis chapter one two and three to them Every single week genesis chapter one, even though I don't believe sex and gender are separate That's the language we're using now and that's what your kids will hear. So sex and gender Genesis chapter one verses 27 and 28 God created them male and female And he said be fruitful and multiply there's sex and gender right there. That is the only way the lord speaks of gender In the bible and with that he says be fruitful and multiply. So explain that to them Especially in this culture. It's foundational Explain to them god created us male and female boys and girls listen and there's nothing outside of that Even if they hear otherwise at school, I just got a text from a friend one of those girls It was my youth group girl. She has a six year old and a four year old Children now and her son was asking questions about some of the things he was seeing And she just said yeah, honey. Remember There's only two there's little boys and there's little girls and anything outside of that. It's just silly, isn't it? Remember what we read in genesis? I mean there's a level that we can share this On with our children, but you're pouring truth in them. So the truth will be their belt And lies will have to penetrate that truth You have to remind them that their feelings do not dictate truth Because they're gonna again learn at a young age to follow their feelings But we have to remind them that our feelings do not dictate truth As you explained chapter three concerning sin, that's when you can introduce the subject of people living outside of god's intention And that's the perfect time to tell them that we all sin We all make mistakes, but that doesn't give us the right to be mean to people who aren't living the way god tells them to And teach them how to pray for people that we see living outside of god's will This will give them a heart for the lost Because we know the church in years past has been A little more leaning towards truth than grace, right? We don't want to have truth without grace, but we don't want to have grace without truth, right? And they have to learn this at home because they will see two moms and two dads Whether they're in public schools or homeschooled Listen, we can our high school kids can go away on youth retreats And right we always encourage, you know, hey bring your unsaved friends great, but we bring our unsaved friends What if they have two moms or two dads our kids are going to hear it? We can't not talk about this And it's I go to a lot of christian schools and I will say it's the lgbt plus identity is very prominent in the christian schools Public schools that kids display their sin and christian schools they hide it so they don't get kicked out But it's there. We have to talk to our kids Obviously the conversation will be guided by their age, but keep it simple God declares right versus wrong teaching them not to criticize or judge those who are different and this is important Let your child ask you questions without them seeing fear or especially disgust on your face That is so important you guys And you might have to be the one to bring up the conversation. I also have paperwork back there Or maybe I don't know if I was handed or but just a little guideline on some simple questions that you can sit down conversationally and have with your kids Tell them when they're little is that sometimes people are confused and don't like the way Made them so they wish they were the opposite sex But that they might grow out of that Because they're going to see it and let them know no one can actually change from one sex to the other Even though they might try you have to get ahead of this you guys You can't tell them this when they're 15 and they've heard for seven years Otherwise you have to be the first to tell them this stuff and again I'm sorry that you have to do this at such a young age. It breaks my heart for you But God has appointed our pre-appointed times and places So he knows and he's preparing you for this Ask them if they see anyone like this at their school and if they say yes Listen, if they say yes, this is important. Ask them how it makes them feel Ask them how it makes them feel and then minister to them accordingly. Don't just tell them it's wrong Ask them how it makes them feel You need to hear their heart what they think about it and don't be shocked if they say it's okay Bring them back to the truth. They need to know you're a safe place for them to share their true feelings without you getting upset Then pray with your child for that young classmate of theirs That will teach them to pray for people that are different than them instead of bullying them or gossiping about them Because I can hear you I can tell you I still hear at some of the youth groups that I go to Very derogatory Language that some of the our kids use in youth group and it's got to stop Encourage your kids to keep an open dialogue with you So that any questions that they might have they can bring them to you Remind them that you won't be upset about with them for for asking this They need to know you're a safe place without you being listen Visibly angry over what they're seeing and experiencing at school You got to handle it like a champ mom and dad And then when they go to bed you can go in your room and cry or scream the pool in the in your pillow Go for a ride or whatever, but to your kids you need you need to keep it Stay stoic So that they can trust you because tomorrow night i'm going to tell your kids That I talked to you and encouraged you to be a safe place. Don't make me regret my words. Please Please it's too important Your tone and attitude will make an impact on how they see broken and hurting hurting people We want our children to learn how to see broken and hurting people the same way jesus does So take this opportunity to affirm them in their own gender Because with all their hearing and seeing they may actually be questioning their own identity They actually there's probably more of a chance that they are than they're not So we need to reaffirm them Male and female People live outside of that people question that it's okay. We pray for them Affirm them in their gender without going overboard with it and then be that safe place that if they do have questions about it You'll sit and talk to them about it It's important to tell them to expect to see sinful behavior at school or in their after school activities You don't want them blindsided or confused by the things they're seeing Sheltering your child isn't beneficial There's so many kids that drop off the the off the christian Identity once they leave home and go to college Affirm them in who they are in christ Affirm them remind them to love god to trust him and to know and believe his word listen You have to let your own life mirror that Let who you are point to who he is let them see jesus in you So that's our littles the things with our tweens and teens They are looking for acceptance. Do you remember remember how gnarly I use the word gnarly because I live in california now Is that what I do that? Okay I'm so stoked to be here with you guys. All right. That's it. That's all the california language I have But remember remember how hard Puberty was and that was without for most of us without the internet or at least social media Now our kids the acceptance that they're getting listen, I want you guys to write this down I want you to watch two shows for me This one's on netflix if you don't like netflix join the club get the free day 30 trial watch this and then cancel it It's called the social dilemma Not the social other thing that that yeah, not that one the social dilemma on netflix then Go to youtube And watch childhood 2.0 Childhood 2.0. This will give you a better understanding of what our kids are experiencing on the internet Because we don't fully understand what they're experiencing and they don't know how to talk to us about it So we have to understand please please please before this week is over. Could you guys please watch that those two things? It's so important and then put a little reminder on your calendar to cancel netflix within 30 days And disney while you're at it But kids are going to search for something when they're missing something Kids are going to search for something when they're missing something And 2020 wrecked our kids And so they're really missing something so they are searching Our kids are overexposed to all things media and they're in danger If they're using the internet to find answers to their questions, which they probably are But tomorrow i'm going to tell them to go to you because you guys will sit and listen Kids want to be heard. They want to know they're loved and they want to be seen So even though they'll never admit it or fully understand it the person that they want to be seen by the most And be heard by the most and of course be loved by the most is you It really really is there are studies that show that They need to know that they can trust you so that they will share with you what's really going on in their life and what they're experiencing Emotionally listen You need to hear what they're saying without interrupting and without showing disappointment Do that later One of the most damaging things we can do and that this is something that you've already done Please know that there is a forgiveness and there's there's a restoration From this but one of the most damaging things we can do as a parent when our child is opening up about their identity Is saying something like if they're saying i'm gay or i'm trans if Lord protect hearts right now one of the worst things you can do is respond with no you're not Or you can't be your christian. You know what the bible says It took them who knows how many weeks to muster up the strength to tell you that They've studied the word of god. They've prayed and asked god to help them They've studied leviticus 18 and romans chapter 1 and first chrithians chapter Six in the in the greek in the latin in the english in the pig latin. They've studied it in everything Now they want to talk to you about it in hopes that you'll embrace them Embracing them doesn't mean embracing what they're doing. It means embracing them They need a mom and dad We don't want to put up walls because they'll be very difficult to take down instead ask them You're gonna have to be stoic a lot mom and dad instead ask them What do you mean by gay or bi or pan or tran? Encourage them to further explain what they mean by that and then ask them how long they've felt this way Ask them when they first began to recognize these feelings and then something like this Did something you see on the internet make you go, hmm that's me Because that's a lot of the stories that I hear From those who are identifying as gay or trans or like, oh, I didn't really have words to put to it But then I went online and saw this You know gay content creator or this gay influencer or this trans influencer and then I was like, huh, that's me No, that's not you that's satan planting a seed of deception in your heart I'm sorry. I'm that was loud. I apologize, but I'm so sick and tired of satan coming after our kids Nobody came after me as a kid Who knows what my life would have looked like if someone would have just told me about jesus Or if I had parents that knew that know the truth. I'm not throwing them under the bus, but Nobody shared the truth with me If they've experienced any kind of loneliness or if they feel rejected They're gonna find somewhere or someone that they can connect to and the connection will come via the Internet if it's not through you The biggest way to get noticed now is by identifying in any way that is out of the norm on social media The more drama you have the more attention you get and the more likes you get So if you already feel like an outcast if you already feel lonely, maybe you're different Maybe you look different some of our kids look different And you're rejected if you change the way you look a little bit And you put a little gay or pan or tran On your identity on your profile thing Now looking different gets you credits gets you likes But if you don't if you look different and you don't have an lgbt identifier, then you just look different So now you have to add this cultural identity along with it to get recognized From what i've read It's it's This is from newsweek. So I don't know how accurate it is But newsweek says that 39 percent of youth are now identifying as lgbt plus I believe it's from the indoctrination leading or I believe it's from the inductorant Introduction leading to indoctrination of social media that's affecting our girls at higher rates than our boys Now they're being told on social media that if you don't like what your body looks like or feels like while you're going through Puberty it must mean your trans So little girls that are starting to deform breasts and they don't like it. Who does? Well, you must be trans Boys that are uh, their body down below is doing some pretty interesting different things and they don't like it Or they're embarrassed by it Must mean they're trans It's disgusting What is happening to our kids through the internet and satan's using it that's what I was going to say earlier Our heart is always receiving seeds, right? We know jesus talked about seeds Our heart there's two seeds our hearts receiving we're receiving seeds of deception Or seeds of truth And whatever's being watered is going to grow and for every minute your child spends On the internet, especially so social media the seed of deception is being watered We have to be very mindful Please do not let your child go into their bedroom at night with their phone or with their computer Do you know that your child is in more danger? from pedophiles and sexual Assault in the home than they are outside the home now Your child's safer getting on their bike and riding around the neighborhood than they are taking their phone into their bedroom There's a neon sign outside come and get me when you let them go into their bedroom with their phones Gotta keep everything out in the common area and listen. It is going to be a fight It is going to be a fight, but you know what? It's your house You are mom and dad and our kids are taking control in ways that god never intended And they're using language with us that is scaring us like would you rather have a gay? Would you rather have a trans son or a dead daughter? This is what they're learning to say on the internet This is what you have there's a guy jeffrey marsh. He's got almost like 900 000 or something like that He's a non-binary guy. He teaches children how to disconnect with their parents And this is what our children are seeing We have to be a safe place for them to talk about this stuff Who's talking so much man? We hardly have any time left for q&a All right. I'm gonna I'm just gonna hope that um All right. I just want to talk about this before we get into the time of q&a Um When when I uh do things like this There's usually a lot of people that want to talk afterwards and if someone comes up and tells me I have a a child That's identifying as trans now. I asked them, you know, if they're they're under 20 years old or 25 years old at this point I asked them two questions Are they on the spectrum? Meaning do they have asperger's or high functioning autism? and about Between 30 to 35 percent of them say yes, how did you know? And then the second question I ask them is do they watch anime? And 100 of the time 100 of the time these kids say yes to anime I just want you to read yes anime from the pit of hell If I was texting it to you it would be all caps from the pit of hell It is japanese animation and they have how many how many gods do they worship in japan? It's it's all the characters are androgynous There's there's there's pedophilia. There's there's different genres within it. There's Boys with boys. There's sadal masochism. There's girls with girls. It's from the pit of hell Let me just read you a couple because we have so much time Let me read a couple of things about Here's from a young young girl like a she's either a tween or a team. I guess she's a team I lost one of my earliest best internet friends when she became addicted to Yay, oh, I it's why a oh, I I think that one is the boy on boy anime It completely changed her and it was rough watching her go through that her friend group changed She changed and I got kicked to the curb That was in 2005 this junk's very real Here's from a mother. Are there any good anime shows? Or is the fandom meaning the fans or is the fandom? Or is it the fandom that ruins it my girls were into Hikaru and then see the fandom shipping all the boys together Which led to my daughter reading gay porn They love anime and drawing anime stinks. Everything has to be talk toxic. I spoke to a young lady the other day who Just broke up with her girlfriend came to christ She wanted to talk and she started telling me her whole life story and she's like, okay This happened and then this happened and she's like and then I started watching anime And that's when my whole world changed. She's like I was introduced to pornography Through anime So i'm just going to have my notes here if you guys want to come take a picture later You can see what some of these different sub cultures of anime are and be mindful that your children Are Josh what's your last name josh? Josh Collins type in on youtube josh collins anime and he did a really good Message on that josh collins dash anime and he'll get into Deeper I I mean I I have story after story in my notes, but I don't want to take the q&a time but anime It's just evil you guys and and your kids are addicted to they have They consider some of the characters on the shows that they watch their boyfriend or girlfriend They have boyfriends and girlfriends on metaverse And they think it's real Tell me how nasty satan is see I can get mad and angry and have all these faces with you guys because I don't have Kids but remember you guys have to be all nice and and stoic so Again, they they need to know that you are a safe place to talk about this Hear their stories hear the stories of their friends Pick a day of the week to fast and pray for your child And and again for for those of you who that have adult children that are identifying as is lgbt plus You need you need to have a prayer group You need to have people praying for for you Because your life is going to change your walk with the lord is changing Because of your child's identity allow the lord to minister to you find a safe place to To cry and to be raw and real with friends and people at church that won't judge you and remember Usually shame is the first thing a parent feels When their child comes out to them that is not your shame to carry If you have been a parent that's done pretty nasty things Sit and talk to your child about it apologize to them if that if you need to do that But remember that is not your identity to carry or your shame to carry Allow the lord to minister to you Pray for your child's partner Pray for them. Don't be mad at them. Pray for them I believe in unless it's a very toxic relationship that they're in I believe in Bringing their partner into your life as well So that they can see Who jesus is through you because remember let who you are point to who he is and I would imagine I'm curious if your child is like, yeah, my mom and dad They're christians and it's all holy, holy, holy jesus bible, you know all this and you know your your child might say some Unkind things about you, but when their partner spends time with you and sees how awesome you are That car ride home is going to be an interesting one for your child and that person. I like your parents. When can we go back and You might be the the The final Seed or sprinkle of of water as god gives the increase to to save your your child's partner. Amen
