Telling the Truth Is Love, Not Hate | Denise Shick | #shorts

Trans awareness advocates would prefer that Denise Shick’s story never see the light of day. While she was under 18 and still living at home, her father told her he wished he were a woman. His tragic journey worsened from there, and made things much more difficult for Denise. Even at her wedding, he was still struggling, and said to her, “I wish it were me in that dress.” Despite the confusion and pain caused, Denise has since found peace in Jesus and is the founder and executive director of Help 4 Families Ministry. Help4Families networks hurting family members with resources, Christian counselors, and personal/group supports. Denise is the Administrator of Family Related Issues with TGIF (Transgender International Fellowship). She has served as a program aid for an alcohol and substance abuse clinic.

Denise is the author of four children’s books that help kids with gender issues in the family, as well as several nonfiction books, including My Daddy’s Secret, Understanding Gender Confusion—A Faith-Based Perspective, and Transgender Confusion—A Biblical Q&A for Families. She is an ordained minister and has a BA in psychology.

She has been interviewed on several faith-based radio and television programs. She is also a conference speaker and presents workshops on gender identity dysphoria and its impact on families.

Denise has led church-based support groups for people with sexual addictions and has assisted groups in an alcohol and substance abuse clinic. She served seven years in a Christian pregnancy center in several roles and implemented an abstinence program, for which she was the director.

Denise has been married for 26 years and has four children, and was a panelist at the Ruth Institute’s 4th Annual Summit for the Survivors of the Sexual Revolution – held in Lake Charles, LA, July 16 and 17 2021, where she spoke on Trans Awareness and having a transgender father.
