one-day online webinar on the biblical view of porn, sex, dating and identity.

“Going There” is a FREE online conference

For youth leaders, pastors, parents, grandparents and young Christians will equip you with biblical insights to foster vital conversations on these crucial topics.

Our young people, in particular, need guidance from people who can talk sensitively about these topics with confidence and compassion. If they cannot find answers in the Church, then they may search in other places.

This year’s speakers include Laura Wolsley (What’s Normal? founder), Paul Ninnes (Real Talk founder), Daniel and Elles Maddry (Moral Revolution directors), Allan Myer (author of Valiant Man), Cindy McGarvie (Youth for Christ national director), Patricia Weerakoon (sexologist and author) and Paul and Mikaela Bedwell (What’s Normal? director).
