Yes! This is just what I need

What's Included?

The presentation comes complete with Speaker Notes which can be used verbatim to deliver the talk, or as a guideline/background info for the speaker to present in their own words. Notes include sample answers which can be given to "tough questions" after a presentation.

... With videos!

Because sometimes you just need the option to be able to press "play." So if having Christina deliver the content is going to enable you to host a great event, then feel free to take that option as well!

Key Values of This Presentation:

  • a commitment to the authentic teaching of the Church
  • honest talk about the challenges and benefits of NFP
  • building a strong, science-based foundation which honors Church teaching and welcomes supporting secular voices
  • creating an atmosphere of invitation, not shame
  • an unbiased representation of all NFP options, with the understanding that there is no one best method which works for all couples
  • a pastoral sensitivity to women or couples who may be hearing this information for the first time
  • humility and a willingness to accept that we do not need to provide ALL the answers! We are here to faithfully plant seeds, and let the Holy Spirit do the rest.

What are other NFP ministry leaders saying about this resource?

Abbie

Props for adding in the non-religious voices for FAM/NFP from the podcasts and popular books out. I think acknowledging sources outside of The Church about how this affects women's health is keyyyy!

Deanna

I think this is a really good package and gives the presenter the opportunity to add other resources specific to their diocese/parish/etc!

Steve

The consistent church teaching in multiple church documents is very enlightening and confidence building—All your materials really are excellent! Thank you for creating them and making them available!

Sarah

I am really excited to use these materials, even if it's just sharing them with girlfriends initially!

Jennifer

Overall, this is a very good presentation which I would not hesitate to recommend!
