Real Talk about faith and sexuality

Published: December 03, 2012

BY SELINA VENIER

Kym Keady and Paul Ninnes "have dived into" what they describe as their "life's call" to spread positive messages about sexuality and faith in God with young people and parents.

Since July this year they have delivered 50 Real Talk presentations and visited nine dioceses.

"Real Talk is about getting real about the topics of sex, relationships and personal identity," Kym said.

"Peers, the media and the Internet serves up the wrong messages about sexuality and identity to young people.

Brisbane’s Archbishop Mark Coleridge of Brisbane praised their efforts.

The duo, who both have spouses and children, have developed the Real Talk model in unison but Kym said Paul "is the driving force" behind its success today.

"Paul's the one who said, 'Let's jump in'," she said.
