Brett Ullman
Often introduced as an expert on media influences, Brett Ullman travels North America speaking to adolescents, leaders and their parents on topics including sexuality, substance abuse, and self-injury. Driven by a desire to discuss, explore, and share the Christian reality of living in a media-saturated world, Brett’s seminars engage and challenge attendees through high-impact, technology-driven presentations. Participants are inspired to reflect on what we know, what we believe and how our Ancient Faith ought to serve as the lens through which we view and engage modern culture. Husband to Dawn, and father of Bennett and Zoe, Brett and his family make their home in Ajax, ON where Brett leads and directs Worlds Apart, a charity focused on empowering individuals to re-align their lives with Biblical core values often muddled by media, but central to Christian living.
the man talk: The Man Talk is what it sounds like–a discussion about what it’s like to be a Man today. It’s a real talk, a meat and potatoes approach to issues pressing us from all sides. Being the best Father I can be. What it’s like to be a Husband and a Servant? Christian men and sex. How to lead my family–spiritually. Boyfriend. Father. Son. Husband. Spiritual Leader. Lover. Buddy. Fixer. Servant. Sexual. Mentor. Hero. Boys Adrift. Friend. Guide. Daddy. Everybody needs a good talk at some point. And, this is one for you. The topic might be men but everyone (ladies included) is welcome at the man talk.
** for the CYWC we will be coming at this talk from the angle of youth workers and leaders. How can we as leaders bring the young men in our youth groups through all of the stages of becoming a man? How do we model this for them? With fatherlessness being one of the largest problems of our day, we must look at how we can begin to bring about change in almost all areas of what is means to be a man in today’s society.
