    In this compelling episode of "The Merge" with Chris Autry, we dive into a thoughtful discussion with Pastor Brad Lynch from Southview Baptist Church about the complex and sensitive topic of gender dysphoria.

    As societal debates and personal struggles around gender identity become more prevalent, Pastor Lynch brings a deeply biblical perspective to the table. Addressing the discomfort some may feel with their biological sex, he explores the influences of social contagion and the pressures of cultural conformity, particularly among younger generations.

    The conversation delves into the Christian understanding of gender as inherently tied to biological reality, reinforced by both scientific and theological affirmations of male and female distinctiveness. Pastor Lynch emphasizes the role of social media and societal shifts in shaping perceptions and identities, suggesting a form of 'social flu' that spreads ideologies akin to viral infections.

    Throughout the episode, the dialogue remains anchored in scriptural truths, presenting a clear and compassionate response to the challenges posed by gender dysphoria. This episode is not just informative but also a call to Christians to understand, engage, and respond to these issues with grace, truth, and unwavering faith in God's design.
