Pure Love Club is the chastity outreach program of Catholic Answers, based in San Diego, California. Catholic Answers was founded in 1982, and is now one of the nation's largest lay-run apologetics and evangelization organizations.
Pure Love Club was founded by Jason Evert, who 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 ten 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. 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. 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.
The Everts are on the Board of Advisors for the National Abstinence Clearinghouse, and are frequent guests on radio programs throughout the country. Their television appearances include Fox News, the BBC, Donahue, WGN-TV news, and EWTN. They have hosted a pair of TV series for teens on EWTN: “The Pure Life” and “Theology of the Body for Teens.” Jason's video “ Teen Relationships and Sexual Pressure.” was given the Silver Crown Award for Best Youth Video by International Christian Visual Media and the two of them were given the 2003 Impact Award by the National Abstinence Clearinghouse in recognition of their success with teens in America.
