Many Christian parents first hear about conversion therapy during a moment of fear or confusion. A child may say they feel "different," question their identity, or share something about same sex attraction. Parents search for answers, hoping for clear solutions that honor both their faith and their love for their child.

The stories below reflect patterns widely described in public testimonies, news reporting, and community accounts.

Christian parents often ask if the Bible supports conversion therapy or if these programs reflect a biblical approach to caring for a child struggling with gender confusion or same-sex attraction. The short answer is that conversion therapy, as popularly marketed, does not appear in scripture.

Many Christian adults who went through conversion therapy report emotional, relational, and spiritual harm rather than lasting change

Many Christian parents approach this question with sincere hearts. They want to honor God, raise their children in truth, and respond with courage when a child shares something difficult about who they are or who they care for.

Christian parents whose child has disclosed same-sex attraction or gender confusion often feel caught between two painful options: abandon their faith or abandon their child. Neither is necessary. Evidence-based alternatives to conversion therapy offer a third path that keeps families together and honors the values that matter most.
