Biblical counselors Regan, Josh, and Tyler join us to answer that very question.   Resources we mentioned: #649 - Sexual Sin Q&A: Answers for Young Men (Part 1) (Podcast Episode) By Pure Life Ministries

2000 years ago, Paul told the Corinthian Christians to RUN from sexual sin because our bodies are meant to be the dwelling place for God’s Spirit! This requires us to stand AGAINST cultural norms and let God’s Word set the standard for our behavior.                                                                                                                                                                                            This is the first of a two-part episode where our counselors answer questions from young men about purity. In this episode we’ll tackle things like “What’s too far physically in a dating relationship?” “Is co-habitation really a big deal?” “Is sexting a sin,” and more.

In our latest episode, Nate Danser is joined by fellow staff member Josh Bergstrom in the studio to share some exciting news about the future of the show. Plus, Steve Gallagher joins us not as a guest—but as our host! Tune in to hear a behind-the-scenes look at how God is leading the ministry into a new season. You won’t want to miss this heartfelt and hope-filled conversation that marks a major turning point for the Pure Life Ministries Podcast.

Jesus said that every deed done in secret would eventually be exposed. It’s not a question of if…just a matter of when. That's a frightening thought for those who have done a lot of shameful things in secret. In today’s episode, we’ll talk about the danger of hiding sin, what happens in our souls when we refuse to bring our sins into the light, and the blessing of dealing with our sin in God’s chosen way.   Resources we mentioned: Don't Wait for God to Expose Your Sin (Article) By Patrick Hudson #482 - Do I Have to Confess My Sin? | Ask the Counselor (Podcast) By Pure Life Ministries #483 - Why Does My Wife Need to Know About My Sin? | Ask the Counselor (Podcast) By Pure Life Ministries 

Study the writings of godly men throughout the ages, and one thing stands out: In their eyes, He was incomparable, unsearchable and eternal. He wasn’t just a little better than the false gods, there was no comparison. He wasn’t just barely deserving of His people’s worship, He was worthy of total and utter devotion. In Part 2 of our Unveiling Yahweh episode, the PLM speaking team sits down to discuss Steve Gallagher's sermon on the greatness of God and will talk about why having a vision of God's greatness is so important for every professing believer.   Resources: Obtain a Greater Sight of Yahweh (Sermon) By Steve Gallagher

From the Chapel: When Ben came into the Residential Program, he was angry at God and unwilling to take responsibility for his sin. But when he saw how good God had been to him despite his rebellion, his heart was broken and he came into true repentance.

About a year ago, we embarked on a new preaching series called "Unveiling Yahweh." Why? Because Scripture tells us that without a sight of God, we are spiritually foolish, shortsighted, proud, and hard-hearted. But when the eyes of our hearts are opened, His glory convicts us, breaks our pride and selfishness, leads us to repentance and then fills us with hope, courage, purity and love. In this 2-part episode, the speaking team of Pure Life Ministries will discuss two sermons that are part of this series, in hopes that your eyes will open to see the transforming glory of God.   Resources: What Does it Mean to Know God (Sermon) By Nate Danser

At an evangelistic meeting, Gladys Aylward gave God a complete surrender of body and soul. Soon, the call came: go to China. It seemed impossible, but she was convinced if He had called her, He would lead and provide. Her story is both amazing and ordinary—her daring feats of bravery in the midst of the Japanese–Chinese war and her perilous trek leading a hundred children to freedom. Yet it also shines with simple acts of love and faith, flowing from her conviction that everyone needs to know the love of God in Jesus Christ. Her story is extraordinary, yet accessible to all. And it’s yet another reason why we think you should read Christian biographies.   Resources we mentioned: Gladys Aylward: The Little Woman (Book) By Christine Hunter & Gladys Aylward

Timeless Truths: Restoring a marriage from the ruin of sexual sin isn't easy. The husband needs to bear his wife as she fights through the pain, fear and anger. The wife ought to bear her husband as he battles his way out of lust. But if they'll persist in walking in love, the Lord will do a miracle in them.

Every true believer struggling with sin will eventually realize just how deeply they need inward transformation. But how is that transformation actually going to take place? Sheer willpower? Gaining doctrinal knowledge? Talking to others? In this  "Ask the Counselor" episode, we'll look at a vital part of the transformation process: renewing the mind.   Resources we mentioned: Key Lessons on the Road to Freedom (Podcast Series) By Pure Life Ministries

Every so often, people contact our ministry in deep despair, asking, “Have I committed the unpardonable sin?” In this "Ask the Counselor" episode, we’ll turn to Scripture to see what the unpardonable sin actually is, why those trapped in grievous sin often fear they’ve committed it, and—most importantly—what hope God gives to those who feel beyond forgiveness.

How many times have you promised yourself, “I will never do that again!” but then fell into sin again? The longer that cycle continues, you may start believing that freedom isn't even possible. That’s what Steve Gallagher used to think, until he learned how to win the battle against temptation. In this episode, we continue to share with you the truths found in our "20 Truths" YouTube series. Today’s topic? “Temptation is a Winnable Battle.”   Resources: 20 Truths (Podcast Series) 20 Truths that Helped Me in My Battle with Porn Addiction (Study Journal)

Timeless Truths: Fasting is a spiritual discipline that brings the flesh under control—a must for anyone who wants to overcome sexual sin—and allows the spirit man to grow in grace. In this segment, Steve Gallagher gives practical and spiritual advice about establishing a regular habit of fasting.

When we surrender to God, He takes a personal and intimate interest in our lives. Because lawlessness still lingers in our fallen nature, He lovingly disciplines us—not to harm us, but to draw our wills into closer alignment with His beautiful will. As we yield to that process, we discover more and more of the peace and fulfillment that come from living under His authority.   Resources we mentioned: Pure Life Mobile App

As we earnestly seek to be like Christ, we may get discouraged when we see how unlike Him we still are. In this "From the Chapel" segment, Josh Rowand testifies that as we fix our eyes on Him and simply obey Him, He is faithful to make us more and more like Him.

As we’ve seen throughout this series, a spirit of lawlessness has infiltrated much of the church. But scattered across this world are those who have rejected lawlessness and submitted themselves to God. In this episode, we’re looking at two character qualities that exist in every true believer: submission to God and faithfulness in the midst of life's trials.

It's nearly unthinkable that a pastor would come right out and say, “It’s all grace—live however you want, and you certainly don’t have to obey God!” But what if sermons are being preached every week across America that imply exactly that? Today, we’ll talk about the doctrine that has quietly created an atmosphere of lawlessness inside the church.

In this Timeless Truths segment, Jeff and Rose Colón explain that broken marriages will only experience true restoration when both the husband and the wife learn to walk in true repentance and humility toward each other.

Jesus prophesied that on Judgment Day many would say to Him, “Lord, Lord, didn’t we prophesy, and preach, and cast out devils in your name? And to their shock, He will respond, “I never knew you. Depart from me, you who work lawlessness.” In Ep. 07 of our series, "Resisting the Rise of Lawlessness" we'll face the uncomfortable reality that many in the Church are actually in the same spirit of lawlessness as the godless world around them.

There’s an old adage that goes like this: If you think you can’t be deceived, you’re already half-way there. With the antichrist spirit rising in our world, we must vigilantly guard our hearts with the truth of God’s Word and submission to God's authority.
