OUR CORE RESOURCES
In Dirty Girls Come Clean, Crystal Renaud, founder of Dirty Girls Ministries and AACC Certified Counselor – whose own pornography addiction started at age 10 – provides steps to recovery uniquely tailored for the female addict. Beginning with surrender, moving to confession, embracing accountability, owning responsibility, to finally sharing with others, the reader will be taken on a journey that can guide her from a state of woundedness to one of healing.
Our free online community called “The City” is a web-based communication platform that empowers community seven days a week. From topic-specific groups (even ones you can make yourself), prayer walls, personal journal reflection space and accountability—the possibilities are almost endless! It even works on the go from your smartphone! Join the nearly 1,500 other women already engaged in this community-building tool. You are not alone!
MeetAbility Groups
Meeting + Accountability = MeetAbility. These unique groups for women take this community and your own personal recovery to a whole new level. They will encourage you to step out from behind your computer and engage in authentic, face-to-face community with women who share or who have shared a similar struggle to your own. Groups run in 10-week cycles and meet locally. If you would like information about joining one in your area or are interested in leading one in your area, please contact us today. Membership in our online community is required for viewing group location information.
When professor and author Dallas Willard was asked, “If a person wants to grow spiritually, where is a good place to start?” his answer was, “Do the next right thing you know you ought to do because that’s what God wants you to do . . . But you will need help.” Our Founder Crystal Renaud provides one-on-one coaching for women who would like help processing through a difficult season or struggle and navigate their next right steps. Coaching is not a replacement for counseling. For more information, click here.

Covenant Eyes – Internet Filtering and Accountability
The Covenant Eyes Accountability Service monitors every website you visit and rates those sites for objectionable content. An easy-to-read report is regularly e-mailed to Accountability Partners that you choose. This enables you to be transparent with trusted friends or mentors about the temptations you face and the choices you make online. These weekly reports help you build a new connection with your friend and allow you to have deep and intimate conversations in your walk toward purity. The Accountability Service is available for Windows, Mac, and a growing number of handheld devices, including iPhone, iPod touch and iPad. For more information about Covenant Eyes, click here.
X3Watch – Internet Accountability
X3watch is an accountability software program helping with online integrity. Whenever you browse the Internet and access a site, which may contain questionable material, the program will record the site name, time, and date the site was visited. A person of your choice (an accountability partner) will receive an email containing all possible questionable sites you may have visited within the month. This information is meant to encourage open and honest conversation between friends and help us all be more accountable. Get X3watch on PC, Mac, iPhone/iPad/iTouch and Androids, here.
