"Where there is no vision, the people perish" (Prov. 29:18)
 
You need a plan to succeed. Whether building a successful company or a new life of purity, a plan is a necessity. Here is where we can help you establish a growing plan that will help move you forward on your journey to a truly abundant life. Get started on your purity plan below.
 
If your life has become unmanageable due to your sexual acting act, please consider attending a Gateway to Freedom (GTF) workshop. These workshops are a 3-day intensive where you can dig deep into your struggles and come out with a thorough evaluation of your current condition and create a plan for success. Our director, Jonathan Daugherty, is the founder of the GTF workshops.

My Purity Plan

The following are key components necessary to live a life of sexual purity. To get the most out of this purity plan, print this page using the 'Printer-friendly page' feature at the bottom of the page. Then go over the plan with a counselor, friend, or pastor to help you shape each component to your specific situation. Do not attempt to travel the path to purity alone! No one makes it alone...

 

Daily Plan

Prayer (at least 5 minutes) - Let this time include:

  • Praise and Thanksgiving
  • Confession
  • Submission 

Bible Reading (at least 5 minutes) - Some good places to start:

Journal/Record Keeping - Two primary aspects to journaling are:

  • Battle Logging (writing down specific purity struggles from the day)
  • Emotion Logging (recording various emotions and your response to them)

CONNECT! - be sure to engage at least one person in your band of brothers or friendship circle every day. (daily at least for first 40 days)
