"Steve Pokorny is all heart, and speaks right to the heart of others with Truth that liberates."                                                                           -- Christopher West, PHD, Theology of the Body Institute, President

"Steve Pokorny's message, and his compelling, genuine & charismatic delivery, is absolutely urgent & essential for our times."                                -- Fr. Thomas J. Loya, S.T.B., M.A. , Tabor Life Institute

“Steve is a refreshingly enthusiastic presenter on sexuality issues normally couched in fear and shame. His powerfully energetic personality is contagious to teens and young adults, and his warm personality opens the ears of his audience, while also bolstering their self-value and confidence. Young people who attend his presentations leave with a renewed sense of dignity, and are edified with the fortitude to fight those instinctual battles between the mind, the body, and the will that governs them. Any group seeking a presenter to shape their teens to defend themselves against pornography, while also giving them healthy attitudes towards dating would be deeply blessed by his presentations”.                                                                                                   -- The Rev. Jon C. Jenkins, D. Min

"Steve's topics are indeed some of the most critically needed in our culture today, for our ability to properly ‘see and love’ others as God intends is foundational to the meaning and being of our existence and reclaiming the beauty of true love, as well as rebuilding strong families."            --Conference Coordinator

How to be a Hero: The Meaning of Masculinity

What does it mean to be a man?

Retreat: Redeemed Vision: Freedom is REAL 

Because pornography is everywhere, the wounds are readily apparent in the lives of men and women. Without healing, entering into healthy relationships and attaining real intimacy is impossible. But do not despair

Through an in-depth exploration of the attachment to pornography through the lens of brain science, a rediscovery of genuine intimacy, and learning how to see the body as God has designed us to see, attendees will learn how to break the power of pornography forever. 

​With time for reflection and healing prayer, this is a perfect event for your parish, university campus, or faith group. 

This event is available as a weekend retreat or one day program

Healing the Wounded Bride: How do we answer the Catholic Church's sexual abuse crisis?

While sexual abuse may be found in many segments of our society, it is most troubling when members of the leadership within the Catholic Church participate in such devious behavior. These secret and heinous actions strike at the heart of the Church, for it creates an environment of suspicion and distrust, as well as calls into question the entirety of the Catholic Faith.

Although an uncomfortable topic to discuss, we must take an honest and open look at the roots of this crisis. Doing so, we'll discover satisfying answers and pave the way to healing for both individuals and the Church as a whole. 

This is event is either a stand alone or to be paired with other talks for a day-long retreat/parish mission.
