Jason and Crystalina Evert
Jason Evert earned a master's degree in theology, and undergraduate degrees in counseling and theology, with a minor in philosophy at Franciscan University of Steubenville. He is the author of six books, including If You Really Loved Me and Pure Love, which challenge young people to embrace the virtue of chastity. Jason speaks at seminars, participates in debates, and responds to thousands of questions about Catholicism from people around the world.

After giving chastity presentations solo for three years, Jason teamed up with Crystalina Padilla, who was trained as a chastity speaker by the Challenge Task Force on Chastity. They speak internationally to over 100,000 teens each year in Catholic, Christian, and public junior and senior high schools, as well as universities. Both Jason and Crystalina are full-time apologists with Catholic Answers, the nation\'s largest lay-run apostolate for apologetics and evangelization. After a year of speaking as an engaged couple, Jason and Crystalina married in June of 2003, and continue to share their inspirational testimonies with teens as well as parents. In their highly popular chastity seminar, "Romance without Regret," the duo provides compelling and uplifting reasons for embracing the virtue of chastity.
