The Talk: Derek and Khira bring more than two decades of combined experience raising children and ministering to teens. Using their experience, they share how parents and adult ministers can teach young people about the gift of the human body and its development. Children and teens need to learn from early ages how boys and girls are different; how their bodies are ordered toward sacred life; and how to care appropriately for the gift entrusted to them. The Speakers: Khira & Derek Rotty have been married for 13 years. They are the blessed parents of five children, one saint in heaven & four saintmakers here on earth. And, they are expecting another baby soon. Khira has over 10 years experience working with high school youth. Derek has Master's degrees in History & Theology. He has worked in parish ministry for more than a decade, and he is in the process of publishing his first book. They both love the outdoors, especially hiking trips & beach trips with their children.
