Real Talk · Ivory Road

Help him become who God made him to be.

Real Talk is a faith-based series for teen guys, on identity, confidence, character, and everyday faith.

If you love one, you have probably heard “I’m fine” and known it wasn’t the whole answer. So there are two free guides below. One for the adults who care about him. One written straight to him, which he can read without anybody explaining it. Take one, take both.

Real Talk: Hearts & Home

For parents

Four small practices for the quiet stretches. Written for busy evenings and long car rides, not for a weekend retreat.

Cover of Real Talk: Hearts & Home, the free guide for parents of teen guys
  • What “fine” usually means, and why it is rarely the whole answer
  • Why hard things get said side by side instead of face to face
  • What is underneath the anger when it comes out sideways
  • What he hears from adults in an average week, and what it adds up to

Real Talk Tools

For teen guys

Five printable pages you fill in on your own. No group, no sharing circle, nobody reading over your shoulder.

  • A check-in page for figuring out how you’re actually doing
  • Small ways to open up without making it a whole thing
  • Sorting what you’ve been told about yourself from what’s true

  • Scripture cards to print and cut
