It's time you know the real truth about sex, dating, and God.

I believe that in this world of lies and fake promises that all girls deserve the truth... the real truth! Through this conviction that God laid upon my heart, Get Real Ministries began. For years now He has blessed me by providing opportunites to travel the nation speaking to college women openly about sex, why God created sex, dating, and living a life of purity. But now, God is opening the doors for Get Real to take the truth to 6th through 12th grade girls, and what an exciting adventure this will be! Our desire is to better prepare both girls, their parents, and youth workers for this crazy, chaotic time in a girl's life, because the time is NOW for us to wake up and be more active in our young people's lives! It's time to get real! -Elaina Barron, Founder of
