Your biggest sex organ is your brain. That is why nothing is more important to your recovery than what you do with your thought life.
The Bible says, “Serve him with a willing mind” (1 Chronicles 28:9).
Here are six ways to serve God with a willing mind:
- Read the Bible every day.
- Read recovery material every day.
- Memorize Scripture.
- Pay attention to the words you sing at church.
- Take notes on sermons.
- Practice meditation.
Vincent Van Gogh said, “I put my heart and my soul into my work, and have lost my mind in the process.” It is never a good idea to lose your mind. I know from personal experience. I lose my mind every time I shop at Walmart.
Recovery Step: Love God with your mind. Serve him with your mind. Do recovery with your mind.

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.
