Dear His Way Out Ministries…
Whenever I’m around my daughter, I feel the need to minister to her regarding her poor choices. But I seem to be driving her away. What do you suggest?
If I were a betting person, I’d bet your daughter already knows where you stand on homosexuality. If arguing about this is endangering your relationship with her, please reconsider your definition of “ministering.” Focus on nurturing your relationship instead. Do not make homosexuality the focus of every conversation. If you possibly alienate your daughter, where will she go when she, like the prodigal, comes to her senses? If home hasn’t felt safe, loving, and accepting (not of her same-gender attraction), then that is the last place she’s going to want to return.
