3 years after doing my initial class with Proven Women and being a co leader for a group, I continue to see the impact of what I learned and how I see the world. Not only is my marriage stronger, but I'm also able to parent my son to be aware of the dangers I was never taught to avoid. I'm more impactful in my career now as I have a resource to provide struggling patients.
Keep up the great work. I'm so proud to continue to be apart of this ministry!

I attended a group with a close friend, spring 2023 and it changed my life, my marriage and the way I walk through life. I was so impressed by the curriculum and support I co lead a women's group that fall! Thank you to the staff and sponsors at Proven Ministry, you start those tough conversations and willing to go through hard stuff to see God's greatness restored and shinning again.
Great content from the videos and encouragement to work through hard issues with wisdom and grace. Really helpful for framing the conversation of sex and sexuality in the context of God’s good design and how to share hope with others, even in the midst of a struggle with temptation.
After working with the leaders at Proven Ministries I was able to see their sincerity in all they do. They fully stand behind what they preach and are constantly looking for ways to better reach others and share their message. Both the staff and the message at Proven are genuine and they are always trying to find ways to better themselves to help as many people as they can.
Proven Ministries is an invaluable resource for both individuals and churches alike. As a pastor, I deeply appreciate having a trusted ministry to refer people to within the church. Their dedication to serving others with compassion, wisdom, and practical support has made a significant impact. Knowing that I can direct people to a ministry that aligns with our church's values and meets their specific needs is a huge blessing. It strengthens our overall mission and fosters a deeper sense of community and care within our church family.
Proven is awesome. Their conferences are top notch and their resources are exactly what people & churches need today.
This is not a silver bullet but an intentional focused time with Father! Healing and redemption is available with a deeper walk in God’s Word.I’ve been through the study multiple times over the past 8 years with multiple men and the result is the same for those genuinely seeking freedom… freedom of your heart and soul… not behavior modification… but life transformation. It’s all about being dangerously honest!
When I participated in the Proven Men study, it was THE MOST impactful study on overcoming pornography and sexual sin. I developed a deep bond with the other men in my group. I've since attended a Proven conference. This ministry is doing all the right things for men, women, and families to help rewrite the broken sexual narrative that many of us have! SO thankful for this ministry and what they have done for me and for countless others! Highly recommend!!

This ministry has, by far, been the most life-changing for me in the way of growth in my faith in Jesus Christ. It has deepened my walk and really brought be down to the core of my pride and selfishness. Through teachings in this study, and doing it with other men, I've been able to allow Father in to these places of pride and selfishness, as they manifest themselves in many different ways in addition to sexual related issues. Thank you Joel for writing this book and for Nick and Marshall for expanding this ministry. This is needed in our society for men to take back ground that has been stolen! God bless you all!
Over 7 years I have been apart of two different groups that Proven Men have hosted at my church. I've benefited so greatly from the leadership, study, and structure of Proven Men. Always finding opportunities to share my story and how Proven Men has so greatly impacted my life. Being able to see the vulnerability
that is shown through the staff and leaders own lives, help me open up and face the deeper issues I wasn't able to address. The community that is encourage through the study and meetings have created life long friends from 12 weeks together.
I am currently an intern for Proven Ministries and it has been such a life-giving experience! The people there are wonderful; intentional and empowering in all that they do. I have been blessed to work alongside this creative team, and share in the faithful vision they have for spreading God's love and freedom to the ends of the earth. It is a selfless community of people who simply have a heart to rescue the lost and broken, and God has truly blessed the work of their hands!
Proven Ministries is a wonderful organization! The staff are kind and refreshingly open and honest about their journeys. They are also very intentional throughout their interactions with donors and individuals who look into their resources. Caring personally for individuals is a unique trait of this organization.
When I discovered Proven, I was struggling hard with my pornography addiction. I was encouraged to get their study, which I got, and it helped significantly. They even reached out to me to check on my status. The work they do is incredible for such a niche but important subject these days.
Proven cares about Christians at every level—men, women, families, churches, and institutions, like universities and mission orgs. If Christians want to be a witness then it starts in our lives, in our homes and in our churches. Proven is offering us the help we need!
Awesome program for women! The topics covered in proven women are bold and courageous and encourage women to fight against the bondage trapping them from the freedom Christ gave to us all. Proven Women beautifully ministers to delicate issues for women that unfortunately more often than not are used to bring shame and judgment to a woman. A sin is a sin is a sin, and Christ paid for them all. Not only does Proven Women encourage women that God still loves them, that Christ paid for it all; but in addition, the workbook provides exercises and deep context to help them navigate their way out of the bondage they have found themselves trapped in.
Proven has changed our lives and the lives of so many others! Im grateful for the ways it challenges me to live with integrity and encourages me to raise my children proactively verses reactive. I think every household needs the help Proven provides. Proven is helping to rebuild this next generation to look a lot more like Jesus through helping churches take a topic that was once considered tabu within Christian circles and giving it a place.
Great organization with amazing leader’s with an amazing vision. I volunteered here and was empowered and equipped in my role and felt very valued.
For far too long, I struggled with an addiction to pornography. PROVEN ministries does an excellent job of showing how freedom can be found through networking with other men and spending time daily in God's word. Pornography is an epidemic that is plaguing our society, and the people at PROVEN are doing great things to help people find freedom.
ProvenMen has given me hope for the first time in my entire life that there is a pathway to sexual purity and nonjudgmental support to help get me on a pathway to freedom from sexual sin. I can’t be more grateful for the men who are committing their time and attention to helping me on my road to recovery. 10/10 recommend this to any man who finds themselves in a similar state and truly desires to be set free.
The Proven Men study has been life changing for me personally and a number of men that have gone through the program in the small group at my church. It provides practical and spiritual guidance for those who are struggling to maintain sexual purity. The program is biblically based and provides clear guidance for leaders to help men that are bound by the chains of pornography.
In todays society this ministry has a tremendous impact to help those to maintain sexual integrity. Also, their newest program The Sex Talk is a great tool for parents, grandparents and mentors to talk to children and teens and introduce these topics before they are influenced by their friends, social media and other aspects they encountered. Highly recommend supporting this ministry and sharing it with others.
Provenmen has a study book I went through with a small group of men. It changed my heart. It emphasized how we are needy and dependent upon God for changing us; how I'm needy and dependent upon God to help me die to my selfishness and pride, which was feeding my desires for lust. Healing and transformation took place when I would sit down and work through the study; God's tangible presence was waiting for me within those pages. Provenmen also has a podcast called The Naked Gospel
This has been a great way to plug into the scary truth about p*rn, its affect on us as individuals and on our culture. It provides great insight into the struggle. They have guests on who share their vulnerable stories about their struggles and hearing about stuff like that on this platform encourages men and women to open up about their own struggles.

Proven Ministries is doing the on-the-ground work of helping men and women address their sexual struggles and find healing and freedom. Too often both parents and the church have failed to protect their own from the addictive and pervasive grasp of pornography and our hypersexualized culture. So many Christians are not equipped to address unwanted sexual habits and behavior. Proven offers a space for them to confess and a path to walk toward healing. Through general education with their podcast and blogs, and through in-depth curriculum designed for small group studies, Proven has helped me along the path toward sexual integrity and has done the same for hundreds of others.
Proven Ministries has easily had more of an impact on my family than any other non-profit out there. The men and women there have helped me maintain sexual integrity within my marriage, empowering me to love my wife and little girl well. I can confidently look my family in the eyes as a man with integrity day in and day out because of the impact Proven has had on my life.
Everyone in this organization lives with the same integrity which they endeavor to teach and train others. They go far beyond reasonable expectations in their level of availability. From curriculum all the way to community, Proven Men consistently upholds conduct of virtue and verve. Constituents are treated like partners rather than mere beneficiaries. This ministry has been, in every way measurable, proven.
This ministry has been amazing at helping men become Proven. It helps husbands, wives, fathers, sons, daughters and people of all races, nationalities, or religions improve their lives. Pornography is real. The movie and internet attack has become acceptable when it simply shouldn't be.
Be transparent. Be honest. It has gained a firm grip on our culture that we need to pry our ways out of. Let others know they're not alone and wear the armor of God to take on this temptation. It's about letting go of your past, staying focused on your present, to be ready for your future without this struggle.
Through what I learned from PROVENMEN I have found victory in my fight against sexual sin and it came from them teaching me how to have an open and honest relationship with Christ. I encourage to please reach out to the PROVENMEN ministry if you are struggling with sexual sin and need help.
Appreciate this organization and their mission. They are transparent about their offerings and where funding goes and they're not pushy about donations.
This is such a needed ministry in our sex-saturatrd culture. I've had opportunity to lead a group of men using the Proven curriculum and it is a powerful tool for building freedom and integrity. Beyond that, the ministry speaks with honesty and relevance to the culture at large through their writing and podcasting. I could not recommend their work more highly.
Proven Men allowed me to find help in a time of need. The encouraging staff and curriculum has changed my life! Love what this ministry does for so many!
Proven Men is an amazing work of the Lord that equips the saints with the necessary tools for finding and preserving purity. I love how Proven Men does not try to invent new ways to defeat addiction but rather points men and women to their need for a relationship with Jesus Christ. After leading men and women to Christ, Proven Men follows up with accountability and fellowship on a weekly basis that helps to foster freedom in a community of believers. Praise the Lord for Proven Men and everything they do to promote purity by fighting against addiction and trafficking!
I discovered Proven Men a few years ago through my church. Their 12 week men’s Bible study was life changing for me. Since then I’ve led several Proven groups, and I continue to recommend it for anyone who wants to get serious about their relationship with Jesus.
So grateful for Proven Men and their heart for men, women and families. The impact that they make on the lives of so many is dynamic. Their reach is far and has used PM in my life personally! Grateful for their team and their passion to support restoration and healing and a greater/deeper walk with Jesus!
This company, people and it’s study has made the largest impact in life. Grateful is an understatement of how I feel. I took the 13 week course and at first was hesitant due to the “work load” required. After the first meeting and first day of study, I was hooked. I could not wait to come home from work and read the teaching for that day. The plans and lessons the study provided, grew me closer to the Lord, strengthen my
relationship with Him and my family and changed my life completely. Please find a group of men and do this study together.
As a side note, Nick and Marshall, our local leaders, have been beyond encouraging and represent this company well.
Proven Ministries is a life changing organization. Proven Ministries isn't afraid to go into the dark places of life and equip people the tools to pull themselves out, break the cycles and refocus their lives. Proven Ministries points people toward God who in turn saves marriages, relationships, jobs and lives. Proven Ministries sheds light on some of the most difficult topics and issues that a lot of churches aren't comfortable addressing. They're courageous, devoted and passionate about their ministry and their mission, but most of all they tackle these issues with the love of Jesus and share God's love with everyone involved!
Joel & Theresa gracefully sent my husband the Provenmen course to South Africa, he hasn't had a relapse and have been clean for more than 18 months. It helped him so much. Just yesterday I wondered about Provenwomen because a teen girl has crossed my path with an addiction and so much more... Thank you for Provenmen and also Provenwomen, thank you for your hard work, do not stop please. We may only be 2 people but we support you all the way and will continue to enlighten Christians in South Africa as much as we can.
