How do you talk to your younger kids about LGBTQ topics when an older sibling identifies as LGBTQ?

That’s one of the most common—and difficult—questions parents and grandparents ask. Today on The Bridge Between Us Podcast, Melinda Patrick is joined by Elizabeth Urbanowicz, author, teacher, and host of the Foundational Worldview podcast, to discuss how to approach these conversations biblically, truthfully, and compassionately.

Together, Melinda and Elizabeth tackle three key questions:
1️⃣ How can we protect (and prepare) our younger children when an older sibling embraces an LGBTQ identity?
2️⃣ What’s the best way to discuss LGBTQ topics in a way that’s both biblical and filled with grace?
3️⃣ How do we teach our children to love others well—without affirming what Scripture calls sin?

In this episode, you’ll discover:

• Why “protecting” your children isn’t the goal—and what to do instead

• Three practical steps to prepare your younger children when a sibling or family member identifies as LGBTQ

• How to overcome the fear of saying or doing the wrong thing

Whether you’re a parent, grandparent, or family member seeking wisdom and peace in a divided culture, this conversation will help you walk in truth and love—right where God has placed you.
