So what does Real Talk do? How do they go about talking around this very sensitive topic because it's surrounded by shame?
So we share a lot of stories, a lot of personal testimony from the presenters and in our video materials.
Like I think young people today, they want authentic, they want connection, they want truth.
In some ways it's easy because most teenagers in particular, they want to hear about sex, right? So you're bringing a topic that gets them curious and then you're sharing something that they can't deny.
They can't deny it because it's your story, but they also can't deny it because they know the truth written inside them.
And so particularly if they've experienced pains and a lot of teenagers have, they know the truth because they've seen the counterfeit, right? They've experienced the thing that leads to pain in their life.
So when you speak that truth, it's like an aha moment often in the audience and often even in the resources.
When I've spoken to students in the past, it's the giggles or the uncomfortable, awkward feeling, but then you can start seeing them lean forward and really engaged.
Is that what you're experiencing or what else are you hearing in your other communicators? What are you hearing from the students themselves?
On one side, it's the devastation of what the digital world is doing to young people and the confusion and just the lack of guidance, the lack of parenting, the lack of mentoring.
