Equipping parents to teach their sons and daughters what it means to be a boy or girl created in love to bear God’s image.

This eight-session video course aims to give parents practical guidance, equipping you as you seek to disciple sons and daughters about what it means to be a boy or girl—a person created in love to bear God’s image.

Teaching videos, participant guides, discussion questions, and recommended resources combine to give parents a biblical foundation and practical guidance to engage these topics with their kids.

We want to help you help them grow in understanding God’s design so they can think biblically about gender and have the knowledge and courage to explain and defend the goodness of our Creator’s intent. And, of course, we want to guide you in how to offer compassionate help if your child is struggling in this area. 

This course explores:

  • What’s happening culturally regarding gender? How did we get to this place, where it’s now accepted as truth that “boys can be girls and girls can be boys?”
  • A biblical foundation for the impact of deception and false teaching as connected to current gender ideology
  • A brief history of the development of gender ideology and how understanding it can help you with your kids
  • A biblical map to explain how desires, sin, suffering, and our beliefs converge to produce a worldview from which we take action, develop a self-identity, and respond to life in this world
  •  How to talk to your kids in biblical, compassionate, and age-appropriate ways about gender
  • Encouraging your kids to stand firm on biblical truth when others oppose or mock them
  • How to walk with kids who are struggling with gender-related issues

These days, those navigating our current trans-culture for their children themselves need direction. A book can help, but Harvest comes through with more fine-grained support.

Scripture-based, nuanced, and direct, this course informs and encourages. We understand the trans-phenomena. Their tree model guides us to heart issues. And helpful exhortations about technology, time, and tenacity team us up with our child to live in the Bible’s truth of who we are.
Dr. Sam A. Andreades

Christian parents are raising their children under pressures that they likely never experienced themselves. In a world increasingly rebelling against God’s design, our calling as parents is vital.

Whether our children’s teachers or friends are suggesting the possibilities of life beyond the constraints of sex and gender, or whether they themselves express confusion and disappointment over the body God has given them, our children need biblical clarity and parental compassion to navigate the chaos. Harvest’s course is a valuable resource for parents (and churches!) seeking to help young people understand and embrace who God has made them to be. These videos provide biblical truths to help parents understand the issues and practical tools to help them guide their often-struggling children. We highly recommend this series.

In our cultural moment, there aren’t many topics more important to discuss with our children than issues of gender.

This course offers clear and practical guidance for how a parent can think biblically and relationally, and then intervene with both grace and truth, into the life of a gender-confused child.

Who would have imagined that every parent would need to have conversations about transgenderism with our children?

But such is the time in which we live, and we ignore these topics to our own shame and our children’s peril. Parenting Boys and Girls in a Gender Confused World is the very best material I’ve seen to help parents understand the worldview of our age and give your kids the biblical information and gospel motivation they will need to resist the cultural pressure they face, renounce the lies they are tempted to believe and embrace God’s loving plan for their sexuality. My very highest recommendation!

In a world where there is so much sexual confusion and brokenness, Harvest USA is an indispensable ministry that equips churches for biblical and compassionate care for those pursuing purity and healing.

As a pastor of a local church, I have been immensely helped by this organization’s resources. “Parenting Boys and Girls in a Gender-Confused World” is a much needed equipping tool that expertly helps mothers and fathers guide their children through confusing and intimidating waters from a God-honoring and Scripture-based perspective.

Senior Pastor of Christ Church West Chester

The Harvest USA courses tackling God’s sexual design and gender identity are wonderful resources. I have led a small group of twenty adults of various ages through both courses as part of our church’s Sunday School hour.

The speakers stress the importance of seeing your children from God’s perspective – wonderfully made, broken, and redeemed in Christ. It is this focus to not just target bad fruit but to love your children in a raw and real way that they see Christ through your life as you lead by example. God bless the staff at Harvest for providing the Church a FREE blessing.
