That was the only
talk I’ve heard that I actually acted upon...
…I thought I had
an idea of what love was, but your talk showed
me so much more to love. I recently broke up with
a girl that I've been dating on and off for a
year and a half, partially because your talk
opened my eyes to how bad this relationship was
being handled. It was basically sustained by passionate
moments. Not love. |
Anyway, to sum this all
up, I really thank you for spending your time talking
to us. You have indeed changed my life, and are
one of my heroes.”
Dan, TX
“Mrs.
___,
I just wanted to tell you how much I loved Chris
Stefanick's talk! I thought Chris was very engaging
and portrayed this incredibly important message
with great enthusiasm, humor, and added impressive
facts. He made me feel, just like all girls should,
like a princess worth waiting for. |

I hope and pray that the
entire audience feels as strongly as I do about this
message and will continue to be good examples of purity
for their peers. Thanks for everything!”
Kaitlin, 18
“…today I felt like
my heart was completely open to Christ because of
what you said….I just wanted to thank you…”
Suzanne, high school freshman,
IN
“That
was POWERFUL!”
Matt, 15, VA
“I was in the audience
during your speech today and I just wanted to say
that I think you’re awesome. The talk was very
interesting (ur not boring like some other speakers
I’ve heard). I also didn’t feel like you
were lecturing us which was really nice. I loved the
way you talk about your wife and kids. You really gave
me hope…”
Teen from St. Peters, MO
"I can’t even put
into words what I felt this weekend. It was
such an awesome experience. I just wanted to
write this to let you know how inspiring you were
to me, and that I hope in the future I can follow
your example and not be afraid to show others my faith.” Jessi – 17, WI
“You made me think about
everything I’ve been doing…and I think
I’m going to take God’s road…I can
change my life. And all of that was because of you.
You told me the truth.”
Teen from Panama, IA
“Chris was cool.
The talk finally clarified the connection between
sexuality, chastity, and Christianity.”
Ethan, 16
“Thanks
so much for coming to Lafayette for our retreat today!
You really understand what it's like to be a teenager.”
Jessica, 7th Grade, IN
“I
really appreciate you coming to talk to our 7th and
8th graders from Central Catholic… You were
awesome!!!...I learned that no matter how much you
may go through in life you never lose your worth,
and that some things that you may like may not be
as good for you as they seem…But the most important
thing that the others and I all learned was that everyone
needs to know who they are and how strong their relationship
with God is and how to improve that relationship.
Live your life to its fullest. Thank you once again!"
Jackie, 8th Grade, IN
“I
would like to tell you how much I look up to you...It's
seems as if you've also been hrough the same situations
and know how to handle it.”
Kayla, 15 – WI
“I
just wanted to say thank you very much for coming
to our parish tonight and speaking to us--I can totally
see how much God is working through you! Your
words really spoke to me tonight…Thank you for
your energy…It is inspiring.”
Celina, 17, CO
“Thank
you, that was amazing! That was amazing!”
8th Grade Teen, CO Springs
“My daughter came home
from school and said she wished Chris could talk to
the girls at her school on a regular basis, his message
of respecting themselves made an impact on her. It
is so nice to know there are young people telling
our youth that abstinence is possible and necessary!
God bless you for bringing him to our schools.”
a Mom from Kentucky
“I
attended your speech this past Wendesday and I have
to tell you it was amazing.…You showed us the
consequences and disasters that may come of having
sex, but you made it interesting and understandable.
I really wish everyone could hear you speak before
they decide to make the wrong decision. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!”
Teen from WI
“I was at the chastity talk at ??? and I thought
I’d just e-mail and say I thought it was amazing!
You are a great speaker and I felt I could really relate
to what you were talking about. I came home and couldn’t
stop thinking about how good it made me feel to hear
all the things you said. I just wanted to say thanks
again for coming! Your ‘talk’ today really
put me in a good mood, I feel really uplifted from hearing
everything you said!”
Hannah
“I go to ??? and
was at the No Imitations talk. I just wanted to say
thank you for talking to us. Everything you said was
perfect and made sense. It made me realize how grateful I
am for my friends and family and how important God
really is. Being able to listen and relate to what
you were saying was a nice break from listening to
things that make sense, but I never really put
in to context with my life. I could go on
and on about everything that finally ‘clicked’
tonight...
Thank you again for taking the time to come to our
church.”
Christine, WI
“…that speaker
today was really good. Honestly he completely changed
my mind about the subject. I never really thought
that people like that existed or that there is such
a thing as love without expecting something physical
in return…”
Text message from teen at public school to friend
“Would you take me to church some day? I like
died at that abstinence talk today and started crying.
I need God again…”
Text message from teen to friend
“That was the best
speech ever about that topic!”
Teen in Los Angeles
“I’m going
to go home and break up with my boyfriend.”
Teen in TX after leaving public school assembly (We’re
still waiting for a nasty email from her boyfriend!)
“…Chris was
very open and blunt about the subject, but it never
got awkward…”
