I just got off the phone with a very nice man by the name of Tim from The City. Turns out that he himself leads a redemption group at his own church and LOVES what we at DGM are doing. He loves it so much that he is giving us “church plant” pricing.

This means just a one-time set up payment of $349. That’s it. No monthly fee. And we will have access to all the awesome features this community tool provides. How cool is that?

Pending Board approval (I forget I am not alone in these decisions anymore – GOOD THING!) we will likely go this route and be rolling it out in the next couple of days. We’ll keep you posted.

Thanks everyone for your feedback yesterday!

It is with a huge bummer of a sigh that we’ve decided to close the DGM forum… at least as it is right now. Even with placing more security in place spam has continued to be a major problem and even since Sunday have removed over 150 spam users. These users simply wreak havoc on site security and the safety of YOU, the users on the forum.

Sample of what The City looks like (click to enlarge).

Since is our vision for DGM to be a safe place for you to build community and accountability we’re presently looking for an alternative community/discussion forum environment.

As we navigate the best platform for such an online community we are finding that some of the best—also come with a hefty price tag. One we are finding is called “The City” which for our size organization is around $120 a month plus a $350 set up fee. The City has features like chat, private groups, a news wall much like facebook, a prayer wall and premium content like videos, etc. Plus it would also be completely customizable.

And the best part? No spam.

Please participate in our survey poll below.

This will help know if we should go in this direction or not. Please only vote if you intend on being an active participant in the community. We’d also love any feedback in the comment section below.

Join DGM Founder and Director Crystal Renaud along with DGM Intern Jenny Miller as we walk through the book, “No Stones: Women Redeemed from Sexual Addiction” by Marnie C. Ferree. This book is a great resource for any woman who finds herself in the throes of sexual addiction and the group will serve as a great introduction to accountability.

We will meet via Tokbox (web conferencing) beginning Thursday, October 14 at 9pm CST for 12 weeks.
