Bold Men Workbook, Volume I

Honesty & the War Underneath (Weeks 1–14)

Who it is for
Christian men walking out of pornography and sexual sin, in a small accountability group with a leader.
Format
14 weeks. Each week: a teaching, seven daily devotionals, a memory verse, group discussion questions, a weekly check-in, and space for a leader’s notes.
Anchor scripture
James 5:16
How to get it
Paperback. Ask at contact or through your pack leader.

The first fourteen weeks are about one thing: telling the truth. Not the polished version — the real one, the kind James 5:16 talks about when it says confession is what heals you. Volume I walks a man through naming the addiction honestly, understanding why willpower alone hasn't worked, and building the two habits everything else depends on: the daily check-in and a group that actually knows what's going on.

Each week includes a teaching, seven daily devotionals, a memory verse, group discussion questions, a weekly check-in, and space for a leader's notes. This volume is the on-ramp — start here.

About the series

The wicked flee though no one pursues, but the righteous are bold as lions. Proverbs 28:1 is the anchor for this workbook, and it's a fitting one. Freedom from pornography and sexual sin isn't won by white-knuckling it alone in a locked room. It's won in the open, in front of other men who already know your worst days and are still showing up.

The B.O.L.D. Workbook is a 52-week guide built for that kind of recovery — the kind that happens in a small group, out loud, over the course of a year. Each week pairs a short teaching with seven days of devotionals, a memory verse, group discussion questions, and a place to write down what actually happened. No theory without practice. No verse without a next step.

This isn't a solo Bible study repackaged for accountability. It's built around a specific rhythm: check in daily — clear or a setback, no in-between — and let your team respond in real time instead of finding out weeks later. The teaching moves you from the first honest confession through renewing your mind, rebuilding your habits, and eventually discipling the next man who's where you used to be. Freedom from this is realistically a one-to-five-year process. This workbook is built for the whole stretch, not just the first thirty days of motivation.

Published across three volumes so no single book is unmanageable to carry or finish:

  • Volume I — Honesty & the War Underneath (Weeks 1–14): naming the addiction for what it is and building the daily habits — confession, check-ins, scripture — that make change possible.
  • Volume II — The New Mind & Rooted Living (Weeks 15–33): the long middle stretch, where the real work happens — renewing how you think, rebuilding what you trust, and staying rooted when the initial motivation runs out.
  • Volume III — Redeemed & Sending (Weeks 34–52): finishing the year, taking ownership of a life that's actually changed, and turning around to help the next man start.

Use it alone with a journal, but it's built for a table with four or five other men around it and a leader who's already been through it.

The teaching

If you're reading this on a Monday morning of Week One, take a breath. You did the hard part. You sat down. You opened the book. The man who has been hiding for years just made the first move out of the cave.

I want to talk with you this week about why that first move, confession, isn't the end of the story. It's the beginning of one.
