About this listen

Compassionate, biblical, and thought-provoking, Embodied is an accessible guide for Christians who want help navigating issues related to transgenderism.

Preston Sprinkle draws on Scripture as well as real-life stories of individuals struggling with gender dysphoria to help listeners understand the complexities and emotions of this highly relevant topic. With careful research and an engaging style, Embodied explores:

  • What it means to be transgender, nonbinary, and gender-queer, and how these identities relate to being male or female
  • Why most stereotypes about what it means to be a man and woman comes from the culture and not the Bible
  • What the Bible says about humans created in God’s image as male and female, and how this relates to transgender experiences
  • Moral questions surrounding medical interventions such as sex reassignment surgery
  • Which pronouns to use and how to navigate the bathroom debate
  • Why more and more teens are questioning their gender

Written for Christian leaders, pastors, and parents, Embodied fills the great need for Christians to speak into the confusing and emotionally charged questions surrounding the transgender conversation.

As a Christian, I found the book's Christian view illuminating. It is an easy listening in the sense that the author keeps his narrative as uncomplicated as possible; when an expression or new word is introduced, he makes an effort to explain it in simple terms. Transgenderism is not exactly straightforward; there are so many variants and it can be confusing. The author succeed in explaining the various positions, but most importantly, he encourages his listeners to embrace rather than reject; to take Jesus' position, thus imitating the love of Christ for humanity regardless. Overall, I found the book to be of help in understanding a side of humanity quite different from mine, and I am grateful for the courage the author demonstrated in writing such a piece.
