Accountability software:
 
X3Watch / Accountability Software This is a FREE accountability program helping with online integrity. It is offered at no charge by the ministry of XXXchurch.com and its supporters. Whenever you browse the Internet and access a site, which may contain questionable material, the program will save the site name on your computer. Approximately every 30 days or 2 weeks (depending on your preference), a person of your choice (an accountability partner) will receive an e-mail 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. This report only goes to your chosen accountability partner and is not stored or used by XXXchurch or any other organization. This is a great thing to promote to your church and encourage your members to find accountability partners. For more on X3watch go to: www.x3watch.com
 
X3 Help at Home – The X3 Help at Home This is a joint venture with Pure Life Ministries. Using their seasoned biblical counselors, they offer help to men and women who are struggling or dealing with some type of sexual sin. In the first two years of XXXchurch, they have had over 10,000 emails and talked to thousands of people who need help. Often times there is nowhere to turn, until now. The X3 Help at Home is a 12-week program individually designed to meet you where you are and help you overcome your addiction in the privacy of your own home. How it Works: Each week, participants work through a customized set of materials. They read and listen to the best resources available, and have a 30-minute session over the phone with a trained Pure Life Ministries counselor. Each of our male counselors has overcome sexual sin in their own lives, while the wives counselors have been through the painful ordeal of living with an unfaithful spouse. Not only have these people been through this ordeal themselves, but they have also undergone extensive training in biblical counseling.

• A Christian man who is concerned that he may be heading in the direction of sexual addiction, or who feels constantly tempted by what he believes to be unhealthy sexual desires.
• A Christian wife who is concerned about her husband and wants to better understand the addiction cycle, the process of recovery, and what her husband may be dealing with if addicted.
• A Pastor, other church leader, or Christian counselor who is interested in knowing more about the problem of sexual sin, and about what it takes to recover successfully from it.
• A Parent who is concerned about their son or daughter and want to know more about the problem of sexual addiction, what some of the triggers are, and learn ideas for helping their child.
