Alex McFarland: ‘As our culture further deteriorates and transgenderism is promoted to innocent youth, young people need more than ever to hear that we were intelligently and perfectly designed by a Creator’
November 14, 2022
GREENSBORO, N.C. — The number of young people who identify as transgender has nearly doubled in recent years, according to a report in The New York Times. If a teenager identifies as a transgender individual, they often find themselves pressured into severe medical procedures and prescriptions, such as hormone blockers or gender reassignment surgery. With so many competing voices and opinions regarding sexuality and gender, it’s easy to see why today’s youth are wrestling with the concept of transgenderism and gender dysphoria.
“Our society sends so many mixed messages, it’s no wonder that many teenagers are overwhelmed, confused and desperate,” renowned speaker, author, and apologist Alex McFarland said. “As our culture further deteriorates and transgenderism is promoted to innocent youth, young people need more than ever to hear that we were intelligently and perfectly designed by a Creator from Christ-following peers.
“Youth insisting that they want to change their gender due to the influence of a fallen world is one of the most horrific tragedies of the 21st century. For Christian youth, this poses an enormous yet interesting challenge as they try to be the salt and light in a world that is uninterested in receiving them.”
Alex McFarland Ministries is proud to announce its new Viral Truth Campus Clubs, unique gatherings designed to equip Christian youth with the tools they need to go into their schools and share the Good News with other teens who may not know the Gospel.
McFarland stated, “Our Viral Truth Campus Clubs offer the opportunity for Christian students to facilitate discussions about the tough topics — such as transgenderism — that they are facing today. Within a group setting with others their age who might need to hear the truth of the Gospel, the goal is to understand what God’s Word has to say about all aspects of our world. These issues are discussed from a biblical perspective.”
The Viral Truth Campus Clubs are characterized by these qualities:
- Relational — Friends and peers invite friends and peers, especially those farthest from Christ, under the teaching of God’s Word.
- Respectful — Any topic and viewpoint can be presented during the discussion, but club leaders will always model an orderly, courteous demeanor, even though standing consistently for the biblical position.
- Relevant — Many issues are of vital importance in the modern world. Fortunately, God’s Word speaks to all of them, either directly or indirectly. Part of the appeal of Viral Truth Campus Clubs is that people can get a synopsis of personal and cultural issues from a biblical perspective.
- Real — Christianity is objectively true, and believers have evidence for what they believe. The biblical worldview is not mere opinion.
“Alex McFarland Ministries comes alongside middle school, high school, and college student leaders to provide mentorship and coaching to equip teens to reach their friends with the Gospel message and with truth to combat the ‘woke’ agendas of human secularism, socialism and moral relativism. Our Viral Truth Campus Clubs will bring the Gospel to the students, helping them regain their respect for our nation and teaching them what is true and trustworthy,” McFarland stated.
