  T4V4 - You are Called to Holiness | 1 Peter 1:15-16 30.07.2026 29min

  Living in a corrupt culture, it can be easy for Christians to conform to the lifestyle of unbelievers and forget our call to be separate from the world. We tend to justify this behavior by using God’s forgiveness and grace as an excuse to allow behavior God has forbidden. But if we examine Scripture closely, it is clear that our freedom in Christ is a call to something higher. 1 Peter reminds us of this when it calls every believer to, “‘Be Holy for I am Holy,’ says the Lord.”   Have Any Questions for Us? 📧Email: podcast@purelifeministries.org

  T4V3 - To Flee Sexual Sin, Pursue These Things | 2 Timothy 2:22 16.07.2026 27min

  In Paul's final letter in Scripture, he urges Timothy to teach others to "flee from youthful lusts." This advice is a must to maintain a pure walk. But the evidence is clear that many in the church are, at worst, not fleeing, or at best, trying to flee but are stuck. If you can't seem to break away from lust's powerful pull, Paul's instructions to Timothy on how to flee are exactly what you need to overcome!   Have Any Questions for Us? 📧Email: podcast@purelifeministries.org

  In this Truths for Victory bonus segment, Josh and Patrick unpack the incredible promise found in Micah 7:18–19. But for that promise to shine brightly, it must first be set against a dark backdrop: the reality of future judgment.

  #679 - Are You Taking Jesus Seriously? 22.06.2026 34min

  We often falter in our battle with the flesh. But someone continually giving in to sexual sin is not “faltering.” Their minds are fixed and set on the flesh. Romans 8 describes that mind as hostile toward God and cannot even obey God’s law. Proverbs 14 says the “backslider in heart will be filled with his own ways.” A person like this is unable to live a godly life because they always find excuses to obey their carnal desires. This week, we look at the ways we rationalize sin and why it is crucial in gaining freedom from sexual sin.   Resources we mentioned: Chasing the Dragon (Book) By Jackie Pullinger & Andrew Quicke   Have Any Questions for Us? 📧Email: podcast@purelifeministries.org

  T4V1 - Don’t Let Sin’s Smile Fool You | Proverbs 5:3–5, 8 18.06.2026 18min

  Truths for Victory: The opening chapters of Proverbs issue an urgent call: pay attention to wisdom. In Proverbs 5, that wisdom teaches us to overcome temptation by avoiding the path of sexual immorality and protecting the God-given intimacy of marriage. If you’re a Christian fighting for purity, this conversation will help you bring ancient wisdom into a very present struggle—learning not only how to resist temptation, but how to walk in integrity by staying far from its doorstep.   Resources we mentioned: Pure Life Ministries Residential Program

  #678 - Am I Allowing the World to Corrupt My Heart? 15.06.2026 49min

  In today’s culture, it’s nearly impossible to avoid seeing sexualized images and messages. That means we must diligently protect our hearts. Otherwise, we’ll be influenced—we’ll be corrupted.  Maybe some of you already sense that your hearts aren’t where they should be. 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.   Resources we mentioned: Why You Should Read (Podcast Series) By Pure Life Ministries How to Minister to Christians in Sexual Sin (Seminar for Pastors and Counselors) Out of the Depths of Sexual Sin (The Autobiography of Steve Gallagher) I Dared to Call Him Father: The Miraculous Story of a Muslim Woman's Encounter with God (The Autobiography of Bilquis Sheikh) God's Hostage: A True Story of Persecution, Imprisonment, and Perseverance (Memoir) By Andrew Brunson The Pilgrim Church (Book) By EH Broadbent   Have Any Questions for Us? 📧Email: podcast@purelifeministries.org

  #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. But beneath that disguise is an enemy whose only desire is you—to master you, to control you, and to destroy you. For the believer, vigilance is essential. 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

  #676 - Self-Deception: The Quiet Corruption of Our Hearts 01.06.2026 33min

  A simple definition of deception is to make someone believe something that isn’t true. Every Christian in ongoing sexual sin has mastered the art of deception. 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. Steve Martin, Biblical counselor at Pure Life Ministries, joins the podcast to talk about how to recognize self-deception, its dangers, and what you must do about it.   Resources we mentioned: At the Altar of Sexual Idolatry (Book) By Steve Gallagher   Have Any Questions for Us? 📧Email: podcast@purelifeministries.org

  The last chapters of Revelation give us a glimpse of a new heaven and a new earth. God will purify this earth to usher in His Kingdom, free from crime, fear, and pain. Soberly, how you live now proves if you belong there. If we love and obey God here, we will in eternity; if we love sin now, we will not magically desire His Kingdom later.

  #675 - Hypocrisy, Hidden Sin, & One Man's Journey to True Faith 25.05.2026 56min

  Unfortunately, the American church is full of people who wear the mask of hypocrisy. And it’s not just sexual sin. Many “deeds of the flesh” are indulged in, like anger, envy, gossip, and greed. But you would never know it because many who sit in churches every Sunday have learned to play the Christian part so well, it’s hard to know what’s true or what’s just an act. Vinny Pappas joins the podcast to share how the Lord exposed the hypocrisy in his life, and how that was crucial in leading him out of sexual sin.   Resources: Pure Life Ministries Residential Program 20 Truths that Help in the Battle with Porn Addiction (Video Series) By Steve Gallagher 20 Truths that Help in the Battle with Porn Addiction (40 Day Study Journal) By Steve Gallagher At the Altar of Sexual Idolatry (Book) By Steve Gallagher   Have Any Questions for Us? 📧Email: podcast@purelifeministries.org

  Revelation 12 - Against the Authority of God 14.05.2026 8min

  Revelation 18 exposes how mankind is affected by the spirit of this world and how it helps set one's mind and heart in opposition to God's authority. Join us as Steve Gallagher discusses how we can either be filled with the Lord and His Spirit or the enemy and the spirit of this world. Also, Steve breaks down the joy and hope we have in the coming of the Lord's Kingdom and the destruction of the spirit of this world, (the spirit of Babylon) in these last days.
