51:10 men's purity group
Creating a pure heart and renewing a steadfast spirit
51:10 men's purity group is a Biblically based and process-oriented group that focuses on helping men find purity and sobriety from porn and other unwanted sexual behaviors. This group utilizes the Seven Pillars of Freedom workbook created by Pure Desire Ministries, along with other therapeutic techniques for addiction recovery. This group's goal is to offer proven principles and practical tools from a Biblical and psychological perspective to help you walk with sexual integrity. With up to 68% of men in the church viewing porn on a regular basis, 51:10 is an essential tool for men to help themselves and others in this fight!
Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. - Psalm 51:10
A typical 51:10 men's purity group is made up of 6 to 8 men, including one of our counselors as the group leader who is a Certified Sexual Addiction Therapist Candidate. The setting is casual. We meet once a week for an hour and a half processing the Seven Pillars of Freedom workbook, discussing how to apply the lessons from the workbook, and holding each other accountable in recovery. Homework is assigned in the workbook between each group meeting which includes the tools every man needs to finish strong and find sexual purity.

Requirements for Group Participation
We become like the people we spend time around. In an effort to help everyone reach higher levels, we ask that anyone wanting to be part of 51:10 live by the below requirements:
-
Regular Attendance - For a group like this to work, it must be filled with people who are making purity a priority and regular attendance helps form the necessary bonds.
The Ask: Commit to attend, at the very minimum, 7 out of every 8 meetings.
-
Reach Out to Others - "Bear each other's burdens, in this you fulfill the law of Christ." No man is an island. This group succeeds if the men support one another. It fails if men are "too busy" to connect. The enemy does not want you to lock arms with brothers in this fight. We need to push past this!
The Ask: Reach out to a minimum of 2 fellow group members each week.
-
Filters on Devices - Electronic monitoring software and filters are frequently the first and last line of defense for sexual purity. It is possible for men to achieve purity without them, but most cannot. Those who are new to the fight typically want to try to do it without filters so they don't completely burn the bridge to pornography. See below for a list of recommended filters and electronic monitoring software.
The Ask: Filters should be on all devices.
-
Daily Bible Reading - The Bible makes multiple references to the idea that we can put in work, but ultimately God is the one that establishes plans and makes growth happen. In order to ideally position ourselves for growth, daily Bible reading must be part of our routine.
The Ask: Incorporate daily Bible reading into your routine.
This will not be a problem for most of you.
This is not intended to push people out; it is intended to refine us into conquers.
