Recovering Your True Identity – What Does the Bible Teach About Sexuality, Gender and Identity

Course offered through Portico Learning Hub

Our world focuses on the word “identify” and how we choose to identify can be based on race, ability, our careers, our sexuality, or who we are trying to become. We identify as something when we reject the identity we’ve been given.

In this course, you will learn that when we accept that we belong to God, our identity is in Christ. The Church needs to become a place where people of all walks of life can express their struggles without fear of judgment.
