If you are to be successful, you will need to set goals – for your recovery, spiritual disciplines, exercise, reading, etc. The Bible says it like this: “An intelligent person aims at wise action, but a fool starts off in many directions” (Proverbs 17:24).
What is a goal set in F.A.I.T.H.? It is:
Focused: It’s specific, something you can measure.
Attainable: It’s possible and practical.
Individual: It’s personal; you must own your own goals.
Trackable: Your goal needs a deadline; without a date on it, it’s not a goal.
Heartfelt: Never set a goal about which you are not passionate.
Recovery Step: Set a new goal today. Do it by F.A.I.T.H.

Mark and Beth Denison, married for 36 years, launched There’s Still Hope as a national movement to call men and women into lives of sexual integrity. Their ministry offers 90-day recovery plans for addicts and one-on-one and group coaching for addicts and their spouses. TSH also produces resources for pastors and churches to confront the porn epidemic that is destroying so many lives.
Dr. Denison was a senior pastor for over 30 years, NBA chaplain, and board chairman at Houston Baptist University three times. With a Master’s Degree in Addiction Recovery, Mark is a certified PSAP and active member of the American Association of Christian Counselors.
