Sinossi

A thoughtful and orthodox approach to the sexual identity questions of today's youth

As youth culture continues to evolve around sexual identity, Christian leaders, parents, and counselors need practical guidance for ministry and care.

Mark Yarhouse and Julia Sadusky bring significant clinical and ministry experience to this timely resource. This comprehensive guide provides 
 
● clear explanations - help for understanding the new language and categories of sexual identities; 
● research-based insights - grounded in clinical experience and current data on Gen Z sexual identity trends; 
● practical tools - actionable strategies for pastors, youth workers, counselors, and parents; 
● Orthodox Christian perspective - maintains biblical foundations while offering compassionate engagement; 
● cultural context - explains how queer theory and cultural shifts have shaped today's identity landscape; 
● relational approach - focuses on accompanying youth through their personal stories and questions; and 
● real-world application - addresses actual controversies and challenges in ministry settings. 
 
The book focuses on accompanying, engaging, and ministering to teens navigating diverse sexual identities in the 21st century. 
 
Whether you're a pastor seeking to understand youth culture, a parent walking alongside your teenager, or a counselor working with LGBTQ+ youth, this book equips Christians with the wisdom and tools needed to minister effectively in today's complex sexual identity culture.

God Songs - Song Lyrics - Book 1...

Soaring Bear

In a time where the world seems more lost and confused, it’s important that we see clearly through the veils of the illusion to the Truth of God’s Love.  
Inspiring words can sometimes be a catalyst to the opening of our Heart as we seek the ‘safe place’ externally. But it’s in the KNOWING that our Safe Place is within each of us and in our connection with God. We call this; The Christ Consciousness.  
These song lyrics that I’ve written are filled with the Divine Mother’s nurturing and the Holy Father’s strength while I reach out for the Peace, Joy and Love of my return to the ultimate source of that love; to finally be Home with God.

Nervous Systems - Spiritual...

Sara Billups

Every era has its challenges, but ours seem to be majoring in anxiety. Bombarded (via screens) by constant global conflicts, rancorous politics, and church scandals, today we endure seemingly endless external stressors. The reasons are easy to find—division in politics and the pews, caring for kids or aging parents, and the rapid impact of social media on our psyches, to name a few. While exploring these origins may hold some benefit, Sara Billups is concerned with right now: How do we live well in the presence of pervasive personal and collective anxiety? 
 
 
 
The dissonance between Jesus saying "Do not worry" and her heart's inability to stop worrying led Sara to seek out spiritual rhythms and practices that create a holistic, holy response to the anxiety brimming in our bodies, our churches, and our society. 
 
 
 
Nervous Systems offers helpful, doable daily practices for anxiety in the large and small trials in our lives. This collection of personal and cultural observations invites us to let go in the presence of our anxiety. Join Sara in learning how, with God's help, to face anxiety head-on rather than trying to pray it away or, worse, grin and bear it.
