The Old Testament is full of imagery of God's holiness. The consecration of the priests and vessels for the temple powerfully illustrate how we must reflect that holiness ourselves. But a lot of Christians today seem to think holy and consecrated lifestyles are just for those who lived during the "first big section of the Bible."   But the truth is, they really do apply to our lives today, and are deeply connected to victory over sexual sin.   Pure Life Ministries 26th Annual Conference   Resources we mentioned: #359 - What Role Does Consecration Play in Freedom from Porn?

The heart of our podcast has been and always will be to help people grapple with the real truths of Christianity and apply them to their lives. That's not always comfortable, and it's not always what we hear in the Christian culture of our day, but it is the truth that sets men free—and keeps them free! Director of Ministry Outreach, Patrick Hudson, steps in front of the camera to share a brief word about how we plan to accomplish this moving in to 2026!   📧Email: podcast@purelifeministries.org Subscribe to Our eNews   Follow Us on Social Media: Website Youtube Facebook X Instagram

When a Christian learns what the Lord offers His followers through His grace and their faith, they can live a truly different life. Now grace and faith are two of the most foundational concepts in Christianity. Many may think that means they don’t really need to hear any more about them in order to win the battle against sexual sin. But the truth is that, far too often, these crucial components of Christianity are terribly misunderstood. That’s partly why so many Christians are stuck in sin.   Pure Life Ministries 26th Annual Conference   Resources we mentioned: View Truth #19 On Our YouTube Page Download Our Smartphone App

Devotion. What do you think of when you hear that word? Maybe it conjures up a sense of loyalty, of someone or something always being there—dedication. Our latest series is called, “Wholly Devoted Disciples” where we will touch on different aspects of what it means to be a wholly devoted disciple of Jesus and why those aspects are vital to winning the battle against sexual sin.  In this first episode, Steve Gallagher discusses where devoted discipleship begins: repentance.   Pure Life Ministries 26th Annual Conference

Timeless Truths: We naturally do not want to put faith into what the Word of God says. One example of that is when Scripture tells us to “give thanks in all circumstances.” Certainly every believer has struggled with some situation that has challenged their belief in that declaration.   We have to learn to live not by what our emotions dictate, but by putting faith in the commands and the promises of Scripture. When we exercise faith, the One who has written those promises will give us the power to obey His commands. And let’s not forget, if you’re listening to this podcast because you struggle with sexual sin, you especially need to learn that lesson. No matter how strongly you feel temptation, you can exercise faith and experience victory through the power of His Spirit!

Timothy was a young man who carried a strong leadership position in the early church. And one of the Apostle Paul’s signature pieces of advice to him was to flee youthful lusts.   Young men in the Church of our day must heed that same advice! But how is that possible in a culture overrun with temptation at every turn?   Part 2 of our Young Men’s Sexual Sin Q&A delves deeper into time-tested Biblical truths to overcome sexual addiction. This week we tackle issues like “How do I get out of a repetitive cycle of sin?” “Is it ok if I lust but don’t act out physically?” “I want to talk to somebody about my struggles, but I feel ashamed,” and more.   Resources we mentioned: Pure Life Ministries Residential Program

Ask the Counselor: How should Christian men fighting for freedom from sexual sin engage with the worldly entertainment that is all around them? 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 #650 - Sexual Sin Q&A: Answers for Young Men (Part 2) (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.     Resources we mentioned: 20 Truths that Helped Me in My Battle with Porn Addiction (Book) By Steve Gallagher

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
