Story image for love - Houston duo teams up to teach teens about real love

Love is a word that's thrown around everywhere you turn, from movies to high school crushes.

It's powerful, it's unparalleled, and in its purest form, it's kind. That's the message Jillian "JJ" Simmons and Jay Barnett are taking on the road in the "That's Not Love Tour."

Barnett is a former NFL player turned author, speaker, and actor. Simmons was a big-time radio and TV personality here in Houston for years. Both left their careers to minister to kids.

"Hurt people hurt people and so what I am trying to do with this message and with this tour is redirect these children's mind, reframe it and give a different perspective on how to work outside of this so they can get through it," Barnett explained.
