FOR CHURCH LEADERS
Give the families in your church a plan for the conversations they're avoiding
Barrett and Jenifer Johnson spent 25 years in local church ministry before starting I.N.F.O. for Families. Now they bring that same pastoral heart to churches like yours, through events that help parents talk to their kids about sex, dating, and everything on the phone in their pocket.

Parents in your church want to have these conversations. They just don't know how.
Twenty years ago, parents were trying to protect their kids from explicit content. Today, most kids have already seen it, and their parents don't even know. That gap is showing up in your church every week, even if nobody's saying it out loud.
Overwhelmed
Parents know the culture has changed fast, and they don't feel equipped to keep up with it.
Unprepared
Most parents were never taught how to have this conversation themselves, so they avoid it.
Embarrassed
Talking about sex and porn still feels awkward for a lot of families, even in church.
Twenty five years in the local church. Five kids of their own.
Barrett previously served as Family Minister at Johnson Ferry Baptist Church in Marietta, GA. After decades in local church ministry and marriage, he and Jenifer started I.N.F.O. for Families to help churches like yours have the conversations families keep putting off.

CORE EVENTS
Where most churches start
Both events are fully customizable and can run as a 45 minute keynote, a 90 minute presentation, or a 3 hour workshop, depending on what your church needs.
Pulled from Barrett and Jenifer's book The Talks, this event helps parents of kids ages 5 to 18 build a real plan for talking about sex, dating, and their kids' digital world.
- Confront the reluctance to talk about sex
- Build a plan to start, and keep having, the conversation
- Help kids see their sexuality as something precious
- Set a wise approach to dating
- Make a plan for social media and porn
Built for dads and sons ages 13 to 21. Using video and guided discussion, fathers and sons talk openly about porn, chivalry, and finding real purpose.
- Open the door on topics dads and sons rarely discuss
- Talk honestly about porn and sexual purity
- Cover chivalry and how to treat girls with respect
- Give sons a bigger vision for their purpose
More topics for your church
Beyond the two events above, Barrett and Jenifer speak on marriage, parenting, and manhood, and can usually build a custom topic for your group on request.
HOW IT WORKS
You set the schedule, they'll bring the content.
Churches combine content with a schedule that fits their context. A single evening works well for some. Others build a full family focus Sunday, with Barrett and Jenifer teaching that morning (often preaching the sermon too) and again in the afternoon. Some churches go further and commit to a full weekend, with events Friday night through Sunday.
Single evening
One focused session on one topic, built for a weeknight or a Sunday evening slot.
1.5 to 3 HOURS
Family focus Sunday
A full Sunday morning of teaching (often the sermon too), followed by more content in the afternoon.
One Sunday, morning & afternoon
Full weekend
Marriage and parenting events across Friday night, Saturday, and Sunday morning.
Friday through Sunday
"Real transformation in our kids often comes from shared experiences with meaningful conversations. Guy's Night Out is an incredible resource to get fathers and sons talking."
