Global navigation used to be a difficult endeavor. Compasses, maps, marine chronometers, and the stars helped humans populate almost every corner of Earth, but these methods are not particularly useful for precisely navigating an aircraft or unknown landscape on foot.
Enter the Global Positioning System (GPS), a network of satellites that constantly transmit signals that anyone on the planet can use to determine their precise position – provided they possess a simple GPS receiver. It has revolutionized transportation and allowed for navigation apps like Google Maps and Waze. The system utilizes 31 satellites in orbit.
In other words, we have an eye in the sky.
Recovery Step: If we are to navigate the challenges of recovery, we need an even bigger Eye. We need the one who said, “I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my eye” (Psalm 32:8).
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.
Mark has written four books on recovery: Porn in the Pew, 365 Days to Sexual Integrity, A 90-Day Recovery Guide, and 40 Days to Porn-Free Living. His latest book, Jesus on the 12 Steps, will be released later this year.
