Make A Covenant With Thine Eyes

Josh and I have an awesome opportunity.  Our ministry has just been approved as an affiliate of Covenant Eyes.  It is an internet-based accountability program.  

As a female, I never really understood the challenges that guys face on a day-to-day basis until I started dating Josh.  I'd heard people talk about it a lot, but nobody, especially a boyfriend, had ever changed the channel while we were watching TV because a provocative commercial would come on or ask me ever-so-politely to go change into a different shirt.  I don't think I will ever completely understand what goes through a male's head or why God made our men so visual but I do know how much I appreciate and respect my husband for striving to be above reproach in this area.  See, he knows that he is not above this temptation and that it could come knocking at anytime.

That is why, last year Josh set himself and his 3 brothers up as a group with Covenant Eyes and they do this together.  As a wife I feel blessed that my husband would take this step to stay pure.  There is so much out there that can become a temptation but if you know that others are checking up on you to see where you have been on the internet you are less likely to "go there".

If you, your family, or your church are interested, you can get a free 30-day trial using our promo code "joshandtasha".  If you sign up with our promo code it actually helps support our ministry as well - so we can keep on making music, leading people into worship and taking mission trips around the world.

Josh said it perfectly when he said:
"So, think about it.  I highly recommend it.  And really, you can't afford not to have accountability.  Your wife (or future wife) and kids (or future kids) will love you for it!"

Hey, I know I don't get a lot of traffic, but I put your "Covenant Eyes" link w/ your promo code (from Fro's blog) on my blog. Great Idea getting the word out about this awesome program!

Tasha, Is that like Safe Eyes? Does Josh talk about this area in his book? I would love it if my Josh could spend time with yours..Josh loves playing piano for worship...Maybe we could talk..we talk to him about this but sometimes it speaks LOUDER coming from another Christian man. Glad you had a great weekend..the weather was great here also..Ms. Nichols
