Talking about Transgender with Your Teen: Sam Andreades Interview

It's my pleasure to present this interview with pastor and author Sam Andreades discussing his new book, which I endorsed, "Across the Kitchen Table: Talking about Trans with Your Teen." I had the honor of meeting Sam and his wife earlier this year, introduced by regular viewer and friend, Steve Goble. Please enjoy this conversation about Sam's ministry experience with gender identity strugglers, advice to parents, and some highlights from his book.
