Security
Purity 101 offers a unique feature, confidence that what is shared on the internet remains private. We have invested a great deal of resources to develop a site that can do just that. Purity 101 is a private social network for Christian men designed to be a 24/7 safe and secure environment where relationships based on honesty, trust and vulnerability are developed to help each other mature in Christ. .
Cyberspace
Other support groups must gather at a designated location, but on Purity 101 you set meetings for anytime day or night. Men can check in with one another wherever they are and as often as they need or like. Ideal for men who travel or while on vacation, all vulnerable times.
Privacy
Men do not need to show up in a physical location where they can be identified as participants in a group.
Group Members
These groups can be formed from members of a church congregation or mission organization. The group members can be spread out across the state, country, or the world if that is the case.
Variety
Purity 101 is embedded with many teachings, meditations, proclamations and videos that men can study on their own or they can join together and choose a bible study on any of the topics that is relevant to them at that time.
Flexibility
Within Purity 101 there is a 12-week (3-month) and/or a 24-week (6-month) teaching cycle, yet the group does not need to limit themselves to one of these models. They may choose to study a book of their choice together or just pick a different topic each week to focus on. Also if the men have a special interest in a particular subject that we offer and they want to discuss it, they are not restricted to a book type format that they must follow chapter by chapter.
Complements Other Recovery Models
The Purity 101 website complements and does not compete with other recovery models, for example Celebrate Recovery, Freedom In Christ Ministries, Living Waters Ministries, and 12 Step Programs.
Application with Other Groups
Within Purity 101 is a seminar, “The Choice and the Challenge”, containing comprehensive teachings that can be used for other groups, such as youth groups. Some of the topics: Sex is Good, Sexually Transmitted Diseases and Is There Such a thing as Safe Sex? Particularly helpful for youth is the teaching on “Understanding the Difference Between Conviction and Condemnation” found in the Being Equipped section of Purity 101.
Availability of Immediate Help
If new men approach the pastor, elders, or counselors for help concerning sexual issues in their lives, they do not need to wait for a new cycle to begin. They can access much of the material that is on Purity 101 via our free site, www.restorepurity.com. Plus whenever enough new men show an interest to have their own group, a new subscription can be bought and they can start meeting right away.
Online Support for Your Group Facilitator
The Facilitator you choose to oversee and run the group, has a forum to ask questions for advice as to how to run his group and any problems he may encounter. He has access to all the answers and to all the questions asked throughout the teachings and meditations, plus an instruction PDF with suggestions on running the group. Also, your facilitator will have the 29 question survey which will be available to him only if he has an interest as to where his group is at with their sex drive.
Buying a Subscription
It is possible for a group of men to buy their own subscription once their teaching cycle is over and continue their relationship in a safe and secure environment with one another.
Extremely Affordable
The actual cost per man is extremely affordable.
