May is Teen Pregnancy Prevention Month
𝘗𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴 𝘥𝘪𝘥 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴…? 🤔
May is Teen Pregnancy Prevention Month, and roughly 1-in-4 girls will be pregnant at least once before age of 20.
The U.S. teen birth rate is at an all-time low. As of 2016, the teen birth rate declined 67 percent since its peak in 1991. Yet despite plummeting rates, teen pregnancy and birth rates for teens ages 15-19 in the U.S. remain among the highest of industrialized nations.
The biggest predictor of efficacy of preventing teen pregnancy is parents talking to their adolescents. Parents, if you can start having these conversations before your daughters start menstruating, then you have a greater chance of preventing them from having an unwanted pregnancy. And it’s the same for boys – it’s ideal to begin having talks before the onset of puberty, or around age 10.
By proactively having the “Sex Talk,” or maybe call it the “Relationship Talk”, you have a chance to share your own values in this area, and can be sure you are providing your children with important information not only about pregnancy prevention, but about sexually transmitted diseases, consent, and other related topics.
Having trouble navigating “the talk” with your teens? Send us a message and we’d be happy to assist you in starting the conversation. 💙
Suffering In Silence
Men are taught to suffer in silence, and as a result, relationships are failing all across the world. This is an edited clip of my time on the Mel Robbins Show—we tag team trauma to help a husband break free from emotional incarceration and save his marriage!
Release The Trauma So That We Can Live Again
I cried watching this clip because for decades, I suppressed my emotions—trying to be a “man” instead of a huMAN. In my book #CryLikeAMan, I share how my era taught men that crying was a sign of weakness.
WHEN A MAN IS FREE TO CRY— HE IS FREE TO LOVE
I will never forget my wedding day—especially when my best man Gabe Green jokingly threatened that he would hit me if I started crying when my soon to be wife (Nicole) walked down the isle.
Congrats Kaden, Good Work!
The Most High is faithful! As young Kaden was taking the spiritual module of his test, he said, “I prayed to God for Him to allow me to see my dad.”

Parents, please be vigilant!
Parents, please be vigilant! Do not wait for your child to be seen bullied on a viral video or for their school to protect them—equip them with the skills needed to protect themselves!
Seek to get healed from what hurts in you, before you unintentionally hurt your children
As a wounded young father in my early 30’s, I probably would have demeaningly called my son “lazy” for not holding his suit while we waited in line to purchase it.

Fight To Be Human
“I’m always wrong when I say how I feel, even when I am right! I feel like a damn robot programmed to only take care of my wife, my kids, my siblings and my job, but [expletive] myself and how I feel! Real talk I feel better off dead!”
Mastering Your Emotions to Save Your Marriage!
In this short clip from a #CryLikeAMan conversation with Van Lathan— my wife and I transparently share a few things we’ve learned that has kept us together for 21 years!
It’s A Confirmation That The LORD Trusts Me
