Should Conversion Therapy Be Banned?

What the heck is conversion therapy and why does it matter? With a recent bill passed in the state of Minnesota (and other states as well), this is a topic that needs to be addressed because of the implications it holds for Christian counselors and pastors.

In today’s episode, Pastor Jackie and Pastor Derek talk through the recent bill being passed banning conversion therapy in the state of Minnesota. We look at some of the particular language and how it could come face to face with how the Bible instructs believers to deal with sin through confession, prayer, and accountability. Our hope is that as you listen, you will be more informed about this topic and able to take a stance on it that is consistent with what Scripture teaches.
