Talk Descriptions
- No Imitations (Chastity/Abstinence Assembly)
Why settle for an imitation when you can have the real thing? Chris goes beyond fear tactics about STD’s and appeals to the desire in all of our hearts for real love and authentic relationships. Chris shares his own experiences of dating, being a husband, and being a dad that range from hilarious to deeply moving. Upbeat, passionate, humorous, and sensitive enough for a mixed crowd, No Imitations! is perfect for a high school assembly and is Chris’ most sought after presentation.
(Note: public school assemblies are very respectful of the separation of church and state. The message is conveyed without any reference to faith.)

- Raising Pure Teens in a Sex-Saturated Culture

Parents, you have the power to help your teen chose the right path! In recent polls teens overwhelmingly said their parents are the number one influence in the choices they make. Learn exactly what we’re up against and get the practical techniques you need to turn the influence you have into action!
