Across the United States, the birth rate has fallen below replacement level, and rising generations—Gen Z and Gen Alpha—are growing up in a culture increasingly detached from marriage, family, and faith. As cohabitation replaces covenant marriage, identity confusion escalates, and digital influences overshadow the guidance of parents, churches, and schools, young people are experiencing unprecedented levels of loneliness, depression, and disordered relationships. Without intentional intervention, we risk losing a generation that no longer believes life, marriage, or fertility are sacred and good.

The R.E.A.L. Summit (Relationships • Education • Authentic Love) is Enlighten Communications’ bold response: a two-day, faith-based equipping event launched at the end of January 2026 in Tampa, Florida. We brought together leaders from pregnancy centers, churches, and campus ministries, the Summit provides biblical, scientific, and practical tools to confront cultural lies about sex, family, and identity. Attendees were equipped to restore truth, compassion, and clarity in their communities—calling a generation back to God’s design for sex, marriage, and family, and offering hope before crisis hits.
