In this new update of my original dating for life talk (now on youtube) I have gone back to the basics. In this new talk I answer the following basic foundational questions on dating:

The Porn Project in 1 sentence: Stop Looking at Porn

Everyone likes to feel comfortable. In fact, we pad our lives with comforts of all kinds, and those things that make life uncomfortable for us we push as far from us as possible. If you're like most people, you quietly withdrew as you read the title of this piece (the.sex.talk) in Christian context.

The Why: One scary statistic says that 70-80% of Christian young adults have sex before they get married. We need to completely rethink how we engage students in this conversation as parents, youth leaders and as members of the greater Christian community. What a difficult time to grow up as a teenager; so many questions and so few people willing to answer them.

As Christian adults, we cannot continue to be silent on these issues of sexuality. The How: This talk helps equip and empower parents as to how to help their kids get a Biblical worldview of healthy sexuality. The.Sex.Talk is an unapologetic, straight-forward talk on the nature of sex in this era of modern, overly-sexualized culture. Addressing such issues as Christian faith, STI's, pregnancy, pornography, sexting, singleness and grace, Brett Ullman tackles the often awkward and uncomfortable topic of sex in a direct, Biblical fashion linking current topics and trends with Biblical examples and principles. The Goal: This project attempts to create and promote a culture where Christian parents and their teenagers are equipped and empowered to have this conversation resulting in better, healthier choices in the area of sex for their teenagers.

Our media-saturated culture consistently floods our minds with inaccurate, often twisted truths about the true nature of sex. As fellow journeyers, let's ask the tough questions together as we look to connect our ancient faith with our modern world.

Life is good...until its not.

Dark clouds come in all shapes and sizes and leave us asking where do we turn? Some of us struggle with mental health: anxiety, depression etc. Some of our struggles come from coping with tough situations in life by Self injuring: eating disorders, suicide, self harm and drug and alcohol use.

When we are surrounded by these heightened emotions and feelings life becomes one that is isolated from others and we begin to be full of questions instead of answers and we do not know what will work, or where to turn. How to we begin our journey towards hope, healing, redemption, rescue, and a restoration to wholeness?

Where and when does our journey back to life begin again? As a Follower of the Way (A Christian) What about our faith? How does our faith fit into our healing journey?

This talk has no cliches, no Christianese and does not pull forward promises of false hope.

Brett Ullman in The Walking Wounded begins to address how to walk back towards healing and away from our emotions, feelings and thoughts that are keeping us paralyzed in life.

No shame, fear, or hiding is required as we are safe to journey towards healing together.

There is Hope for the Walking Wounded.

The Man Talk is what is sounds like—a discussion about what it's like to be a Man today. It's a real talk, a meat and potatoes approach to issues pressing us from all sides:

• Being the best father I can be. How to lead my family- spiritually.
• What it's like to be a Husband and a Servant. Christian men and sex.
• Christian dating - A how to.

Everyone needs a good talking to at some point. And, this is one for you. Real Men who aren't afraid to talk about Man stuff, and who are better for it.
