“I live my life a quarter mile at a time.”
Dominic Toretto, The Fast and the Furious
The only way to win The Race is to take it a quarter mile at a time. I love the way the psalmist said it: “The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord” (Psalm 37:23).
Notice, God doesn’t order our marathon, our mile, or even our quarter mile. He is the God of steps. God only orders our steps.
Learn to focus more on your direction than your destination. Get the direction right and your destination will take care of itself. Proceed in the right direction – one step at a time.
Recovery Step: You can win the big race – one step at a time.

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.
