S1, E12...Ministering to Gay Teenagers with Shawn Harrison Raising Up the Next Generation

    • Christianity

Shawn Harrison is the author of Ministering to Gay Teenagers, a book for church leaders, families, and individuals. In addition to the book, Shawn teaches and counsels gay individuals, families, and church leaders as they navigate the journey of faith and sexuality, centering around who God is and who they are in Christ. Shawn has been in ministry for over 20 years, and is currently a pastor in Ohio, where he lives with his wife and kids. My first interaction with Shawn was at the LIFE conference in 2016 where he taught a breakout session for leaders. I immediately bought his book and have used it many times throughout my ministry. I am so glad he was willing to join me, share his story, and talk about his work! 

Book written by Shawn:
