Our Founders
Greg and Lynn McDonald are parents, best friends, authors of Embracing the Journey, and co-founders of the ministry by the same name as an outgrowth of their family's personal journey associated with having a gay child. They are bridge-builders, reconcilers, and peace makers passionate about helping parents lean into their journey where true healing can occur. As followers of Jesus, Greg and Lynn have firsthand experience managing the complicated feelings associated with learning their son was gay.
In the 20+ years since that revelation, they have immersed themselves in the LGBTQ+ community. Greg and Lynn have personally coached and counseled several hundred Christian parents throughout the United States and over 39 foreign countries with lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender children. In addition to their one-on-one biblical counseling, they teach and facilitate many small groups, help churches develop safe Parent Care Groups, and participate in national conferences.
What makes the McDonalds such a powerful resource is their ability to share their journey in an unvarnished, honest, reassuring, and relatable way, along with the learnings gleaned from helping thousands of Christian parents.
Dinner Table Conversations
What if we could actually get to know one another better by having conversations around the dinner table? In these episodes, Greg and Lynn invite some close friends who have LGBTQ+ children to have conversations exploring topics that parents are eager to learn more about. Discussions include the impact of fear, surviving, and learning to thrive, which lead to some of the most candid, unscripted moments that are hugely beneficial to parents on their journeys.
