One way we experience division within ourselves might be when our biological sex and our gender don’t seem to align. For some, this can be a deeply painful experience called gender dysphoria; for others, it may be just a nagging sense inside of you that something is off.

Today, we have a special guest, Son Byrd, who will share his personal journey navigating gender dysphoria. We will tackle gender stereotypes, the definition of gender, and restoration.

Join us as we continue our journey through our Wonderfully Made series. Let’s unpack together how God wants us to show his intentions for the diversity and harmony of the creation He designed.
