If that’s the case, then the question becomes “how can my heart be made clean again?” In this episode, Pure Life Ministries Events Manager, Josh Rowand, talks about how today’s Christian can not only navigate a sexualized culture, but go deeper with the Lord in the process.

#677 - Your Life Can Be Restored 08.06.2026 15min

The Christian caught in sexual addiction has allowed sin to master him. At first, sin disguises itself as innocent.

So what if you haven’t been vigilant in pursuing godliness? What if your walk with Christ has been neglected? Perhaps you began your journey with Jesus with great joy and contentment, but now you hardly recognize yourself. If that’s you, don’t miss this episode! You’ll find that restoration is still possible. Have Any Questions for Us? 📧Email: podcast@purelifeministries.org

And while we often think of deception as something we do to other people, the most dangerous form may be the deception we do to ourselves.

From the Chapel: Fears Are Stilled, When Strivings Cease 23.04.2026 5min

Then one day, through divine revelation, he saw that all of his own effort proved he had no trust in God. Reflecting on God's faithfulness towards him, G felt Jesus asking him, "Will you trust Me?" He responded, "Jesus, I will trust You." Finally surrendering his self-effort, G began anchoring himself in the Lord's faithfulness leading to a radically changed life.

#671 - Coming Out of the Darkness We Chose 20.04.2026 15min

All addictions send a person in one direction and one direction only: down. Sexual sin, drugs, alcohol, and even entertainment all promise fulfillment. But as a soul continually heeds temptation’s voice, it becomes increasingly corrupted: crossing lines that once seemed too far away and growing attracted to things that once seemed repulsive. This is called the Spiral of Degradation. This dark path always leads to ruin. Yet through the power of God and His gift of repentance, that journey can be reversed. Luke Imperato explains the dynamics of this destructive direction and shows how to turn back. Have Any Questions for Us? 📧Email: podcast@purelifeministries.org
