110 - How to Love Your LGBT-Identified Loved One Without Comprimising God’s Truth PT 2 with Melinda Patrick
Do you have a family member or friend that is struggling or has decided to be all in as an LGBT- Identified individual? If you are a bible-based Christian, there is probably a tension between what you believe and your loved ones chosen lifestyle. Today, Tiffany Jo Baker talks with Melinda Patrick, a mom, ministry leader, and author, who shares her story and what she has learned about having a loved one in the LGBTQ community. Listen in for: · What the Bible says about the LGBT lifestyle · What true love looks like · The surprising realities of sharing truth · If boundaries are okay to put in place · How to foster mutual respect Favorite Quote: “Transformation is possible for everyone. We all need transformation.” – Melinda Patrick “We need to know what true love looks like. We can’t offer something if we don’t first know what it is and experienced it ourselves… If we aren’t sure what love is, go back to 1 Corinthians 13.” – Melinda Patrick “We don’t get to define what love is. God is love and God defined what love is.” – Melinda Patrick “I cannot compromise God’s Word because eternity is too long. My daughter is worth me standing for truth, her eternal destination is worth it to me.” – Melinda Patrick Favorite Verses: “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.” – 1 Corinthians 13: 4-8a Be sure to check out all the things Melinda Patrick has going on, including her new book The Daring Rescue: Joining Jesus Christ in His Pursuit of Your LGBTQ-Identified Child’s Heart here.
