A better story
The last decade has seen a surge in young people seeking gender identity services, with an increase of over 1,400% for boys and 5,300% for girls. Some claim our bodies don't matter: what matters is how we feel inside.
The Bible tells us a different story about our bodies, our feelings, and our identity, which explains distress now and offers life and hope for the future. We want to see young people flourish, rather than pursuing changes which can have life-changing physical, emotional and mental consequences.

Both men and women are made in the image of God. Rather than seeing our bodies as prisons to escape, the Bible asserts that the ultimate spiritual being became flesh in the person of Jesus: not just for a time but forever.
