Participate in a small group
A men's Bible study, accountability group, or church small group — engaged weekly.

Honor toward women in word and deed. No sexual relationships outside of marriage during the program.
-
06
Keep a written budget
Track income and expense weekly with your mentor. Financial discipline is restoration.
