Training videos from Rev. Andy Stanley's North Point Community Church are leaking to the public. And to Ally Beth Stucky's fear, it's not the Bible.
“What they're implementing now is showing to young church leaders who are now known as 'transits', which is very troublesome for me. Because it's because, in the end, it doesn't affirm that the Bible actually talks about LGBTQ identity, but it uses good sounds,” Stucky says, “it's relevant.”
The training videos, which appear to be private, appear to instruct adolescent leaders to ignore the self-declared transgender status of children and teenagers in order to make children suffering from gender deception more comfortable.

“We know that middle school can be complicated. Students need a place where they can grow fast and learn how God sees,” the Transit website says. The training video includes a transit director who directs small group leaders on how transit director Brit Kitchen handles issues related to upcoming educational series on sexuality.
“If it turns out to be OK, they don't ignore it because North Point is working on this issue from a biblical perspective. I praise it and say 'Yes',” Stucky says.
The kitchen starts the video by giving young people leaders three key principles they try to highlight when teaching middle school students about topics related to sexuality. The first is to “respect God with your body.” The second is “Please don't master anything,” and the third is “Do not sexualize any relationships other than marriage.”
Stucky agrees to all three of these principles, but that's not the principle itself, but the explanation she issues. He never supports his statement in biblical teaching, as did the kitchen when he began to discuss sexual identity.
“Now, gender discomfort, this is a strange term. I haven't heard much about this. Essentially, this is a clinical term for people who are unsure about gender,” Kitchen says in the video.
“So how many people have honest 'joy' about their gender? ” asks Stucky. “Even this dichotomy, feeling happy or discomfort, causes a lot of confusion, especially in middle school, as you might have kids there who are, “Well, you don't feel euphoria about being a girl or a boy.” ”
“So it's automatically going to make kids wonder, 'Well, what am I classified? If I'm not euphoric, am I really transgender?” But this is not the definition of gender discomfort. Incidentally,” she continues.
In the video, Kitchen also discusses a real-life scenario in which families left the church and the former church began going to North Point Community Church as they didn't “affirm” their children's identity.
“He says it was wrong for their local church not to assert this child as the opposite sex. He does not call this child by a pronoun that does not correlate with his God-given biological reality. And the head of the Middle School ministry at North Point Church in Atlanta, led by Andy Stanley, says it is wrong.
“It embraces those kids with confusion,” she continues, adding, “it is very damaging to God, ourselves, and others, their understanding of reality and morality.”
