Transgenderism Introduced as a Mental Illness: Should Christians Support? | Special Guest Dr. Greg Gifford

Written by Alyssa Sonnenburg

In this special episode of Illinois Family Spotlight, IFI’s Jenna Smith and Alyssa Sonnenburg sit down with special guest, Dr. Greg Gifford.

Dr. Gifford is a biblical counselor, Chair of Biblical Studies at the Master’s University, Fellow of Fortis Institute, and host of Transformed, a podcast where everyday issues meet the truth of the Bible.

Recently, Senate Bill 4832 was introduced in the Illinois General Assembly, a bill which would define “transgenderism” as a mental illness under the Illinois Health Code.

In this conversation, Dr. Gifford unpacks this bill, whether or not Christians should support this legislation, and what Scripture has to say about gender dysphoria.

“When we have laws in the U.S. that promote a biblical worldview, we vote for them. . . the policies are an overflow of what the Bible says, whether they pass or not – the truth is still the truth.”

This is a conversation you will not want to miss.
