🎙️ In this episode of the Men Above Reproach Podcast, we discuss the 1st month of the 90-day Purity Challenge and how Bible Verse Memorization has helped in our pursuit of purity. We also talk about some of the health electives we did, such as averaging 7.5+ hours of sleep and tracking nutrition.

📅 February Challenge: We're doing the Fasting Elective together:

  • 📵 Social Media Fast for 1 month
  • 🍽️ 48-hour Food Fast

    • 📖 Notes & Tips if You're New to Fasting:

      1. Prayer
      2. Guidance
      3. Repentance
      4. Overcoming temptation
