Sexual Sin
God’s grace is unbelievably precious. That's why Satan is constantly trying to offer us counterfeits that look like grace and sound like grace, but have no power to deliver us from our sins. In this episode we’ll look at one counterfeit that says, “God’s grace covers my sins, no matter what,” and we’ll find out what the Bible really teaches about the grace of God.
This episode: Counterfeit versions of grace have just enough truth to seem like the real thing, but don't offer power to overcome sin.
If you’ve been around sexual addiction recovery for any length of time, you’ve probably heard someone say: "Once an addict, always an addict." Is that really true, or is that just another half-truth that keeps people addicted to pornography? In today’s show, Steve Gallagher looks at some of the core beliefs of the 12-step systems of recovery, and then compares those with what the Bible teaches about overcoming sin. Plus, one of our staff members shares why he can say (after 17 years of freedom), "I am no longer an addict!"
This episode: Steve Gallagher compares some core beliefs of 12-step systems of recovery with what the Bible teaches about overcoming sin.
The incredible truth about God's love is that it is unconditional. This is incredibly liberating for some, and it sets them free from striving to earn God's favor. But many others use this reality as a license to continue their perilous descent into the depths of sin. Thanks for joining us for the third episode in our series 10 Half-Truths that Keep Us Addicted to Porn, as we dissect the statement, "God loves me just the way I am."
This episode: God's unconditional love should never be used as an excuse for habitual sin, but should fuel our efforts to live in purity.
Jesus promised us that the truth would set us free. He made no such promises about half-truths. In this episode, Nate Danser examines Scripture to find out why “I can’t get free unless God chooses to set me free” is a half-truth with no power to deliver people from porn addiction. And, one of our residential counselors will talk about how that very half-truth crippled his efforts to break free from pornography. And of course, we’ll look at the full truth that has power to set anyone free!
Many addicts end up blaming God for their addiction. Find out why in this episode of the Pure Life Ministries Podcast.
Our mission at Pure Life Ministries is simple. Show men and women why they're addicted to porn and then show them the way out.

When we sin, our first instinct is to cover it up so that we avoid any painful consequences. But God’s Word tells us that whoever conceals his sin will not prosper, and whoever confesses and forsakes them will find mercy. In other words, the worst thing we can do is keep our sin hidden. If we want to prosper, we have to live a transparent life.
This episode: Our instincts tell us to keep our sins hidden, but God's Word tells us that being honest leads to a life of power over sin.
Sexual intimacy can be really complicated, especially for those who are dealing with the aftermath of sexual sin. In today’s episode, Jeff and Rose Colón talk about the biblical principles that will transform the marriage bed from a place of awkwardness, fear, and lust into a place of deep intimacy, trust and purity.
This episode: Sexual sin destroys intimacy, but God's Word shows couples how to restore trust and purity to their marriage bed.
Some say that if you want to discover the roots of addictive behavior, you have to look at a person’s childhood, because the data shows that if a child’s father doesn’t give them the love they need, they can have real problems later in life. But does that mean that a father's failure to love causes a person to become an addict? In today’s show, we'll discuss what the Bible teaches about why we do what we do, and how to deal with our own bad choices.
This episode: Children are deeply impacted by their parents' behavior. So, is a parent responsible if their child develops an addiction?

The statistics concerning men addicted to pornography and other illicit sexual sins are staggering. 64% viewing porn at least monthly. 36% of young men watching it at least daily. 35% of men admitting that they are having an affair.
