Multimedia Presentations
RLCC brings information, statistics, stories, analogies and inspiration home like never before with 10 high-impact youth-directed presentations that can be done individually or mixed and matched however you please. Ease is a full multimedia event presented for youth, designed by their peers.
This is what we’ve come up with. (The 4 M’s.) The right Message, the right Messengers, the right Medium, and the right Method. The Message is putting pro-life and chastity together. The Messengers are their peers, which is very unique. The Medium is multimedia. The Method is shock and awe.
We send our youth, not to lecture them, but to use video, music, and high quality PowerPoint presentations to teach, without holding back the truth! It’s the best way to do it. It’s like the teens are learning it for the first time.
Just 45 minutes compared to thousands of sexy movies, commercials, billboards, websites, etc. because sex sells. It’s still not enough! Therefore, we build a relationship with the teens in the youth group through more presentations, and we give them activism oppurtunities so that they can continually learn, grow and get involved in their peers lives!

Q: How can I book a presentation at my church?
A: Tell your youth pastor to contact Josh Brahm, and he’ll take it from there! He can show the entire presentation to your youth pastor and/or pastor, elders, parents, and get your church on the calendar.
Q: I see you use movie clips in some of your presentations. Is this legal?
A: Absolutely. RLCC has acquired a CVLI license that allows them to legally use DVD’s in their presentations.
Q: How long are the presentations?
A: As long as you need them to be. We can fit everything in a 30-minute window, or take up to 90-minutes if the opportunity allows! Each presentation has several versions with different lengths.
Q: Can you do a series of presentations?
A: Absolutely. We can either do a series of Sunday/Wednesday presentations, or one full day event for your youth on a weekend.
Q: How much will it cost to book you?
A: We’re free! Naturally we accept donations, but we’ve made a commitment to be available to give high-quality presentations for free around Central California. Plus, you’re getting one of the top youth speakers in the state on any of the life issues.
Q: Has a youth pastor ever said no to a presentation after he saw it?
A: No. Once a youth pastor sees the presentation and catches the vision for how powerful this would be in his church, we’ve never been turned down.
“Josh Brahm is an outstanding young talent. Josh is an excellent communicator and a rising star in the field of pro-life apologetics. He’s shown a remarkable desire to both master and communicate the essentials of the pro-life position. He does both extremely well. Josh is fun to watch. He not only connects well with his audience, he also demonstrates that the pro-life position is true and reasonable to believe. I highly recommend Josh’s speaking abilities, both for youth and adult audiences. The future of our cause is indeed bright, provided those of us in leadership positions can cultivate more outstanding apologists like him. Josh Brahm is one of the most talented young pro-life apologists I know.”
- Scott Klusendorf, President, Life Training Institute after seeing Stem Cell Research
“When I think of excellent pro-life thinkers, I think of Josh Brahm. This man knows how to articulate the pro-life position in a way that compels you to act. His podcast at ProLifePodcast.net is a must for anyone seeking a timely and insightful analysis of current pro-life issues. He is a model for other pro-lifers by being winsome and gracious on this very sensitive subject. Most importantly, I’m confident his work will save the lives of many unborn children.”
~ Alan Shlemon, Speaker/Trainer, Stand to Reason
“Keep an eye on Josh. He's an up-and-comer in the pro-life movement. Josh is gifted in the areas of pro-life apologetics and communication. I’m grateful he is involved in this work full-time.”
~Jill Stanek, Speaker, Blogger, Weekly Columnist for WorldNetDaily.com
“Josh has excellent knowledge of pro-life arguments, the desire to reach our youth, and the courage to be committed to the truth. In other words, he has exactly the tools needed to make a difference in today's cultural climate.”
~ Dr. Richard Poupard, Blogmaster and Podcast host, Life Training Institute
“Josh Brahm’s presentation of the sanctity of human life and the reasoning behind the pro-life movement was an unexpected blend of humor, truth, and reality to a very mixed audience. To those who understand the sacrificed numbers of human babies through abortion, the link to genocide of the Jews was very powerful. Josh did a great job in presenting his reasoning to those he has debated.
~ Pat Goosev, Executive Director,
Turning Point Pregnancy Care Center of Kerman, CA
“Josh Brahm brings a fresh sense to the microphone when he speaks. He gave us some refined tools to help us in talking with those who profess to be pro-choice rather than for life. Common sense is what Josh brought to our Rally and many attendees were abuzz with what he presented. It’s nice to hear material that can help us in this battle and be able to keep it in our arsenal and use it when the time comes. I would highly recommend having Josh share his insights and experiences with you. Josh Brahm is one of the best kept secrets in California!”
~ Alan Unterreiner, President, United For Life of Merced County
“Josh’s presentations are solid, deep, cutting edge, helpful and honoring to Christ and His Word. Youth Groups across the state will benefit from the time they prayerfully spend with Josh Brahm and the presentations he delivers.”
- Dean Conkel, Youth Ministries Coordinator, Presbyterian Church in America National Office
“I was pro-choice before Sunday, because I was completely ignorant. I had no clue how abortions happened, no clue about statistics, no clue about anything really. I feel stupid for having such an uneducated opinion before, but I’m glad that’s changed. I’m definitely pro-life now.”
- Rachel, Student at Johnson Ferry Baptist Church, after seeing Making Abortion Unthinkable
“I have to say that Josh has done an amazing job framing the abortion issue, and I don’t see how the pro-choice side could ever win a debate against anyone using his arguments. After seeing what abortion is, and hearing the scientific and philosophic arguments, what can the pro-choice side say to disprove it?”
- Unnamed liberal teacher at Kennesaw State University
after her class saw Making Abortion Unthinkable
“I've never had so many students come up to me after and tell me how much they loved youth group that night. Josh does a great job of not only testing the students, but of training them as well. Josh has a gift, and I believe it is a necessity to have him come and teach on something that he knows more about than any of us youth pastors. Students and staff loved it. It challenged everyone! You will not be disappointed."
~ Jason Kinzel, Youth Pastor, Bethany Church,
after Josh did "The Devil's Advocate" at his youth group
“Josh Brahm’s presentation is exceptional. He was engaging the entire time. Josh
has been a real gift to our youth group.
~ Marianne Byers, Youth Director, St. Mary’s Church, Fresno
“At this time, when the pro-life movement is in the dumps because of the Presidential election, yours was the voice we needed to hear. You gave us all a lift and made the rally a memorable event.”
~ Carl Gregory, Merced
In general, what has the pro-life movement done to educate youth in the last 30 years? We've mainly sent people to lecture them. There are a few speakers out there that can hold any audiences attention, but most lecturers fall short of captivating a teenager's attention for an entire 45 minutes. Why is this? A few reasons. First, teenagers in general do not learn by reading; we are visual learners. As movies and video games get more high-tech and fast-paced, teens become more easily bored with a lecture. (Remember, teens don't pay $10 to go to a lecture hall after school, they go to a movie theater.) Also, teens listen very intenetly when their peers believe strongly in something.
Meanwhile, we are losing an entire generation to the culture war. Nearly half of our high school students have already had sexual intercourse. This year 800,000 American teens will become pregnant, and 40% of them will choose abortion. That's 320,000 teen abortions every year.
So, how could we bring them the truth while speaking to them in their language? We change the messengers and the medium. In fact, these presentations have what we call the 4 M's: The right Message, the right Messengers, the right Medium, and the right Method. The Message is getting the truth out about the most important issues of our generation, like abortion, chastity and stem cell research. The Messangers are their peers. We train young people to present and we stand back and watch as teens listen, captivated. The Medium is multimedia. Teens are so visual, that it tremendously helps to use great looking multimedia and movies to help us make our points. As I've previewed these presentations for youth pastors of some of the biggest churches in Georgia, I consistently hear comments like this: "This is the best looking presentation I've ever seen." The method is shock and awe. Teens will be shocked by the facts and statistics about abortion and teen sexuality, and then amazed when we equip them to stand up and be a light in this very dark culture. In essence, we send our youth, not to lecture, but to use video, music and high quality PowerPoint presentations to teach, without holding back the truth! It's the best way to do it. It's like the teens are learning it for the first time.
