Stewardship is what to point a couple to when the heart work has begun and the household still has open paths. A coaching-track supplement, not a replacement for the pastoral care or counseling you are already offering them.
I.
Heartland Christian Coaching already walks with couples through the spiritual and clinical sides of pornography recovery. Stewardship adds the practical: a structured way to address the devices in the home, so the recovery work has room to take root. Pastors are not asked to administer the program — Heartland holds it; the couple goes through the lessons at their own pace.
II.
Clearest fit: a couple who has begun the spiritual and clinical work and is now asking, plainly, “What do we do about the phone, the laptop, the tablet, the router?” Stewardship answers that question with consent and structure built in. It is not a substitute for therapy or for the work of the Spirit; it is the household-side companion to both.
III.
Point them to one conversation. The first step is an inventory — one structured lesson the couple works through together at their own pace. From there, they decide. There is no in-home visit, no surveillance, no commitment beyond the first conversation.
