#642 - Have I Committed the Unpardonable Sin? | Ask the Counselor

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. ✝️🩸 ------ Check out more episodes of the Pure Life Ministries Podcast: 🎧 ➡️ https://rumble.com/playlists/Bkbz1jRNHdM ------ Find out more about Pure Life Ministries’ counseling programs and resources: 🖱️ ➡️ https://www.purelifeministries.org/ ------ Follow us on social media: 👋 https://www.facebook.com/purelifeministries/ https://www.instagram.com/purelifemin/ https://twitter.com/PureLifeMin

#377 (REPLAY) - Temptation is a Winnable Battle

How many times have you promised yourself, “I will never do that again!” but then fell into sin again?

#641 - Aligned More and More with God's Beautiful Will | Resisting the Rise of Lawlessness

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. 🐑 ------ Check out more episodes of the Pure Life Ministries Podcast: 👀 ➡️ https://rumble.com/playlists/Bkbz1jRNHdM ------ Check out more of our podcast series in our smartphone app: 📲 ➡️ https://www.purelifeministries.org/app-download ------ Find out more about Pure Life Ministries’ counseling programs and resources: 🖱️ ➡️ https://www.purelifeministries.org/ ------ Follow us on social media: 👋 https://www.facebook.com/purelifeministries/ https://www.instagram.com/purelifemin/ https://twitter.com/PureLifeMin

#640 - Two Marks of a Genuine Believer: Submission and Faithfulness

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. ------ Check out more episodes of the Pure Life Ministries Podcast: 🎙️ ➡️ https://rumble.com/playlists/Bkbz1jRNHdM ------ Find out more about Pure Life Ministries’ counseling programs and resources: 🖱️ ➡️ https://www.purelifeministries.org/ ------ Follow us on social media: 👋 https://www.facebook.com/purelifeministries/ https://www.instagram.com/purelifemin/ https://twitter.com/PureLifeMin

#639 - When Doctrine Becomes a Gateway to Rebellion | Resisting the Rise of Lawlessness

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. ------ Check out more episodes of the Pure Life Ministries Podcast: 🎞️ ➡️ https://rumble.com/playlists/Bkbz1jRNHdM ------ Find out more about Pure Life Ministries’ counseling programs and resources: 🖱️ ➡️ https://www.purelifeministries.org/ ------ Follow us on social media: 👋 https://www.facebook.com/purelifeministries/ https://www.instagram.com/purelifemin/ https://twitter.com/PureLifeMin

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. ------ Check out more episodes of the Pure Life Ministries Podcast: 🎞️ ➡️ https://rumble.com/playlists/Bkbz1jRNHdM ------ Find out more about Pure Life Ministries’ counseling programs and resources: 🖱️ ➡️ https://www.purelifeministries.org/ ------ Follow us on social media: 👋 https://www.facebook.com/purelifeministries/ https://www.instagram.com/purelifemin/ https://twitter.com/PureLifeMin

#637 - True Faith Will Produce a Righteous Life | Resisting the Rise of Lawlessness

There is a great controversy raging within Christianity in our day. The question is: what relationship does faith have with righteousness? Of course, our concern is not with the technicalities of the debate. Our concern is whether people are being deceived into thinking that saving faith has nothing to do with the way they live their life. ⚠️ This is Ep. 06 of our series, "Resisting the Rise of Lawlessness." ------ Check out more episodes of the Pure Life Ministries Podcast: 👀 ➡️ https://rumble.com/playlists/Bkbz1jRNHdM ------ Check out our flagship resource by Pastor Steve Gallagher, “At the Altar of Sexual Idolatry”: 📕 ➡️ https://store.purelifeministries.org/product/at-the-altar-of-sexual-idolatry/ Check out “The Walk of Repentance”: 🛣️ ➡️ https://store.purelifeministries.org/product/the-walk-of-repentance/ ------ Find out more about Pure Life Ministries’ counseling programs and resources: 🖱️ ➡️ https://www.purelifeministries.org/ ------ Follow us on social media: 👋 https://www.facebook.com/purelifeministries/ https://www.instagram.com/purelifemin/ https://twitter.com/PureLifeMin

#636 - Jesus Never Gave Us the Right to Be Lawless | Resisting the Rise of Lawlessness

Nearly every aspect of a first century Jew's existence was shaped by Torah. And yet, Jesus spoke to the Jews of His day like they were habitual law breakers. Why? Because they did not comprehend that the law was meant to make them desperate for a profound inward transformation. Today in America—we need the same realization. The inauguration of Jesus as King does not do away with the demand for obedience to God's laws. We too must cry out in desperation to be delivered from self and to be made into a loyal citizen of the kingdom of heaven. 🙇 ------ Check out more episodes of the Pure Life Ministries Podcast: 🎞️ ➡️ https://rumble.com/playlists/Bkbz1jRNHdM ------ Learn more about Kathy’s testimony in her book, “When His Secret Sin Breaks Your Heart”: 💔 ➡️ https://store.purelifeministries.org/product/when-his-secret-sin-breaks-your-heart/ ------ Find out more about Pure Life Ministries’ counseling programs and resources: 🖱️ ➡️ https://www.purelifeministries.org/ ------ Follow us on social media: 👋 https://www.facebook.com/purelifeministries/ https://www.instagram.com/purelifemin/ https://twitter.com/PureLifeMin

Our fallen hearts tell us that we should be in charge of our own lives and that we should do whatever seems right to us. But this lawless lifestyle actually leads to destruction. In the 4th episode in our series, "Resisting the Rise of Lawlessness," we'll talk about the blessings that flow into the lives of those who become passionately committed to keeping God's law from the heart. ❤️‍🔥 ------ Check out more episodes of the Pure Life Ministries Podcast: 🎞️ ➡️ https://rumble.com/playlists/Bkbz1jRNHdM ------ Find out more about Pure Life Ministries’ counseling programs and resources: 🖱️ ➡️ https://www.purelifeministries.org/ ------ Follow us on social media: 👋 https://www.facebook.com/purelifeministries/ https://www.instagram.com/purelifemin/ https://twitter.com/PureLifeMin

#634 - An Outbreak of Lawlessness | Resisting the Rise of Lawlessness

The holy law of God tests the human heart to its core. It cuts against pride, selfishness, lust and injustice. It requires (and rewards) genuine, self-sacrificial love. It asks every seeker after God a penetrating question: Will we truly submit to God and His ways, or will we embrace the spirit of lawlessness and self-will? 🔍 ------ Check out more episodes of the Pure Life Ministries Podcast: 🎙️ ➡️ https://rumble.com/playlists/Bkbz1jRNHdM ------ Find out more about Pure Life Ministries’ counseling programs and resources: 🖱️ ➡️ https://www.purelifeministries.org/ ------ Follow us on social media: 👋 https://www.facebook.com/purelifeministries/ https://www.instagram.com/purelifemin/ https://twitter.com/PureLifeMin

Yahweh wanted a unique and exclusive relationship with Israel. He wanted to reveal Himself to her and use her to call the nations to Himself. But Israel was so used to serving sin and self that she didn't know the first thing about embodying the humility, selflessness and purity of a God like Yahweh. In this episode, we’ll look at the momentous day when God came down in fire on Mt. Sinai to give Israel His law, and we’ll talk about why that event is still relevant for us today. 🔥 ------ Check out more episodes of the Pure Life Ministries Podcast: 🎞️ ➡️ https://rumble.com/playlists/Bkbz1jRNHdM ------ Find out more about Pure Life Ministries’ counseling programs and resources: 🖱️ ➡️ https://www.purelifeministries.org/ ------ Follow us on social media: 👋 https://www.facebook.com/purelifeministries/ https://www.instagram.com/purelifemin/ https://twitter.com/PureLifeMin

At the dawn of creation, sun and moon, stars and planets, birds, beasts, fish and man freely submitted to the authority of God. And then a rebel creature invited mankind to choose their own will above the will of God. And with that, the spirit of lawlessness began to work in this world. Welcome to our series, “Resisting the Rise of Lawlessness.” In this series, Steve Gallagher and the staff of PLM will offer both scriptural and practical truth aimed at helping each one of us discern whose authority we are under.

But more than that, we find something that can go inside of us and make us into new creations. 📖 In Episode 8 of the Hope for Hurting Wives series, Kathy Gallagher talks about the incredible power of the Word of God, and why hurting wives should cherish it as their very life. ------ Check out more episodes of the Pure Life Ministries Podcast: 🎧 ➡️ https://rumble.com/playlists/Bkbz1jRNHdM ------ Check out the full Hope for Hurting Wives podcast series: 💖 ➡️ https://www.purelifeministries.org/podcast?series=Hope+for+Hurting+Wives ------ Find out more about Pure Life Ministries’ counseling programs and resources: 🖱️ ➡️ https://www.purelifeministries.org/ ------ Follow us on social media: 👋 https://www.facebook.com/purelifeministries/ https://www.instagram.com/purelifemin/ https://twitter.com/PureLifeMin

One of the worst parts about addiction is the sinking feeling that you’ll never break free from the horrible cycle of sin. You start to wonder if there’s any way out at all.

Plus, we have a team of men who have personally found victory over sexual sin and have been trained to help others walk that same path. But something still more is desperately needed.

Sin always comes with painful consequences. Emotional, physical, or relational pain. And for many people, these consequences often stir up difficult questions. "If God loves me, why would He allow such hard consequences? Does this mean that God has forsaken me? Is there any way to move forward after this?" 😞 In today’s episode, we look to the Scripture to give biblical answers to some of these questions. 🔍 ------ Check out more episodes of the Pure Life Ministries Podcast: 🎞️ ➡️ https://rumble.com/playlists/Bkbz1jRNHdM ------ Find out more about Pure Life Ministries’ counseling programs and resources: 🖱️ ➡️ https://www.purelifeministries.org/ ------ Follow us on social media: 👋 https://www.facebook.com/purelifeministries/ https://www.instagram.com/purelifemin/ https://twitter.com/PureLifeMin

But New Testament preachers like Jesus and His apostles actually did something very different: They first told people about their need for repentance. ⛅ ------ Check out more episodes of the Pure Life Ministries Podcast: 🎧 ➡️ https://rumble.com/playlists/Bkbz1jRNHdM ------ Check out “The Walk of Repentance”: 🛣️ ➡️ https://store.purelifeministries.org/product/the-walk-of-repentance/ ------ Find out more about Pure Life Ministries’ counseling programs and resources: 🖱️ ➡️ https://www.purelifeministries.org/ ------ Follow us on social media: 👋 https://www.facebook.com/purelifeministries/ https://www.instagram.com/purelifemin/ https://twitter.com/PureLifeMin

#618 - Repentance in Ancient Times | Rediscovering the Gift of Repentance

Repentance is an ancient concept—one could say it is as old as sin itself. From the very beginning, whenever God's people have been separated from Him by sin, repentance has been the key to restoring their relationship with Him. In today’s show, we’ll explore repentance throughout the long history of God's dealings with Israel. 📖🔍 ------ Check out more episodes of the Pure Life Ministries Podcast: 🎧 ➡️ https://rumble.com/playlists/Bkbz1jRNHdM ------ Check out “The Walk of Repentance”: 🛣️ ➡️ https://store.purelifeministries.org/product/the-walk-of-repentance/ ------ Find out more about Pure Life Ministries’ counseling programs and resources: 🖱️ ➡️ https://www.purelifeministries.org/ ------ Follow us on social media: 👋 https://www.facebook.com/purelifeministries/ https://www.instagram.com/purelifemin/ https://twitter.com/PureLifeMin

#617 - True Repentance is a Lifestyle | Rediscovering the Gift of Repentance

Many Christians don't realize that God never intended for repentance to be a one-time event, because sin isn't overcome all at once! It's overcome little by little, and every time we truly repent, we're given new power to overcome sin, and new power for holy living. 🙇 ------ Check out more episodes of the Pure Life Ministries Podcast: 🎞️ ➡️ https://rumble.com/playlists/Bkbz1jRNHdM ------ Check out “The Walk of Repentance”: 📖 ➡️ https://store.purelifeministries.org/product/the-walk-of-repentance/ ------ Find out more about Pure Life Ministries’ counseling programs and resources: 🖱️ ➡️ https://www.purelifeministries.org/ ------ Follow us on social media: 👋 https://www.facebook.com/purelifeministries/ https://www.instagram.com/purelifemin/ https://twitter.com/PureLifeMin

Repentance and brokenness might seem negative...until you experience the spiritual benefits that flow from them. For example: a true fear of God that destroys the love of sin. A deep resolve to pursue restoration in our relationships. A zeal to be right with God, no matter the cost. 🎁 In this show, we'll look at some of the beautiful fruits that come from repentance. ------ Check out more episodes of the Pure Life Ministries Podcast: 🎙️ ➡️ https://rumble.com/playlists/Bkbz1jRNHdM ------ Check out “The Walk of Repentance”: 📖 ➡️ https://store.purelifeministries.org/product/the-walk-of-repentance/ ------ Find out more about Pure Life Ministries’ Residential Counseling Program: 🖱️ ➡️ https://www.purelifeministries.org/residential ------ Follow us on social media: 👋 https://www.facebook.com/purelifeministries/ https://www.instagram.com/purelifemin/ https://twitter.com/PureLifeMin

#615 - No Saving Faith Apart from Repentance | Rediscovering the Gift of Repentance

According to Jesus, the pathway into the Kingdom of God is marked out by two inseparable things—genuine repentance from our sins and a real choice to put our faith and trust in Him. But, in our church culture, many seem to think that repentance is unnecessary as long as you "believe." 🙅‍♂️ In this episode, Steve Gallagher will address this fatal error by showing that there is no such thing as saving faith apart from repentance. ⬆️ ------ Check out more episodes of the Pure Life Ministries Podcast: 🎞️ ➡️ https://rumble.com/playlists/Bkbz1jRNHdM ------ Check out “The Walk of Repentance”: 📖 ➡️ https://store.purelifeministries.org/product/the-walk-of-repentance/ ------ Find out more about Pure Life Ministries’ Residential Counseling Program: 🖱️ ➡️ https://www.purelifeministries.org/residential ------ Follow us on social media: 👋 https://www.facebook.com/purelifeministries/ https://www.instagram.com/purelifemin/ https://twitter.com/PureLifeMin

#595 - Your Behavior Won’t Change Until Your Heart Changes

Have you ever had someone tell you to bounce your eyes or snap a rubber band on your wrist when you're struggling with lust? ⛓️ These are secular techniques that are supposed to help us change the way we respond to sexual temptation. But Scripture never tells us to merely modify our behaviors. Instead, it tells us that we must crucify our sinful natures through repentance and allow our hearts to be transformed by grace. 🙌 ------ Check out more episodes of the Pure Life Ministries Podcast: 👀 ➡️ https://rumble.com/playlists/Bkbz1jRNHdM ------ Find out more about Pure Life Ministries’ counseling programs and resources: 🖱️ ➡️ https://www.purelifeministries.org/ ------ Follow us on social media: 👋 https://www.facebook.com/purelifeministries/ https://www.instagram.com/purelifemin/ https://twitter.com/PureLifeMin

What makes people view porn? Some would say that many people view pornography because they want to escape feelings of emotional pain or stress.

The only safe way to handle sin is to see it as a deadly monster and kill it. We do ourselves no favors when we tell ourselves that our "sin is no big deal because nobody's perfect!" 🤥 We don't need a lower view of the evil of sin, but a realization that a holy God has given us a way to overcome—through the power of grace. 🙌 ------ Check out more episodes of the Pure Life Ministries Podcast: 🎞️ ➡️ https://rumble.com/playlists/Bkbz1jRNHdM ------ Find out more about Pure Life Ministries’ counseling programs and resources: 🖱️ ➡️ https://www.purelifeministries.org/ ------ Follow us on social media: 👋 https://www.facebook.com/purelifeministries/ https://www.instagram.com/purelifemin/ https://twitter.com/PureLifeMin

Are Addictions Caused by Childhood Problems? | Ask the Counselor

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 interview, we'll discuss what the Bible teaches about why we do what we do, and how to deal with our own bad choices.

When someone deeply hurts us, Satan tempts us in a very subtle way. He tempts us to obsess about their sins and to see ourselves as being better than they are. And if we don't guard our hearts, we can easily begin to judge them as being terrible sinners who are unworthy of mercy. It's a very dangerous place to be, and the only way to overcome this temptation is to stay at the foot of the cross.

But do we really believe that the opposite is also true–that a marriage will overflow with blessing when each spouse is giving their lives away for others? 🔍 In episode 6 of “Ashes to Beauty”, Scott and Erin Wilson talk about why living "the mercy life" radically changed their marriage and became one of their greatest goals. 🙌 ------ Check out more episodes of the Pure Life Ministries Podcast: 🎧 ➡️ https://rumble.com/playlists/Bkbz1jRNHdM ------ Find out more about Pure Life Ministries’ counseling programs and resources: 🖱️ ➡️ https://www.purelifeministries.org/ ------ Follow us on social media: 👋 https://www.facebook.com/purelifeministries/ https://www.instagram.com/purelifemin/ https://twitter.com/PureLifeMin

Why it's Good to Be Really Hungry for God | Ashes to Beauty

If a couple who were in real trouble asked you what it would take to restore their lives and their marriage, what would you tell them? Would you tell them they both really need a desperate desire for righteousness? ✝️ In episode five of our series “Ashes to Beauty”, Shawn and Susan Smith talk about why becoming hungry for righteousness made such a huge difference in their own lives and marriage. 💑🏻 ------ Check out more episodes of the Pure Life Ministries Podcast: 🎞️ ➡️ https://rumble.com/playlists/Bkbz1jRNHdM ------ Find out more about Pure Life Ministries’ counseling programs and resources: 🖱️ ➡️ https://www.purelifeministries.org/ ------ Follow us on social media: 👋 https://www.facebook.com/purelifeministries/ https://www.instagram.com/purelifemin/ https://twitter.com/PureLifeMin

Why Those Who Weep Are Actually Blessed | Ashes to Beauty

In the newest episode of “Ashes to Beauty”: When our hearts are torn open, we frantically reach for anything that will take away the pain. 🛑 But what if God showed up in our suffering and told us that our pain was actually opening the door to tremendous blessing? Even though that makes no sense to our natural minds, that's exactly what He means when He says, "Blessed are those who mourn." 🌤️ ------ Check out more episodes of the Pure Life Ministries Podcast: 🎞️ ➡️ https://rumble.com/playlists/Bkbz1jRNHdM ------ Find out more about Pure Life Ministries’ counseling programs and resources: 🖱️ ➡️ https://www.purelifeministries.org/ ------ Follow us on social media: 👋 https://www.facebook.com/purelifeministries/ https://www.instagram.com/purelifemin/ https://twitter.com/PureLifeMin

There is no way we can live an overcoming Christian life without the (real) grace of God and love of God.

In Psalm 107, this refrain is repeated four times: “Then they cried to Yahweh in their trouble, and He delivered them out of their distress.” Why the repetition? Because when we realize that we have sinned, and we know we are in deep trouble, we need to know without a doubt that God will answer us if we cry out to Him. ------ Check out the rest of "A Firm Foundation": 👀 ➡️ https://rumble.com/playlists/TCEwTqHvtqE ------ Find out more about Pure Life Ministries’ counseling programs and resources: 🖱️ ➡️ https://www.purelifeministries.org/ ------ Follow us on social media: 👋 https://www.facebook.com/purelifeministries/ https://www.instagram.com/purelifemin/ https://twitter.com/PureLifeMin

A Firm Foundation: When Judgment Opens the Door for Hope

When God visits a person’s sin in judgment, their lives begin to unravel. Frustration builds to misery, then gives way to despair, and often, finally collapses into ruin. But in Hosea 2, an astonishing picture emerges. God's deepest desire is not to destroy sinners, but to use the pain of judgment to open a doorway into total restoration. ------ Check out the rest of "A Firm Foundation": 👀 ➡️ https://rumble.com/playlists/TCEwTqHvtqE ------ To learn more about ways to study the Bible for yourself, check out the bonus material for this episode: 📖 ➡️ https://www.purelifeministries.org/blog/podcast-bonus-from-a-firm-foundation-when-judgment-opens-the-door-for-hope ------ Find out more about Pure Life Ministries’ counseling programs and resources: 🖱️ ➡️ https://www.purelifeministries.org/ ------ Follow us on social media: 👋 https://www.facebook.com/purelifeministries/ https://www.instagram.com/purelifemin/ https://twitter.com/PureLifeMin

In it, we discuss the necessity of standing against a worldly atmosphere in the home, because when a home is full of worldliness, it creates a wide-open door for all sorts of lustful temptations and for sexual sin.

How to Wisely Confess Sexual Sin to a Wife

How should a husband confess that he is in sexual sin to his wife? Whether it’s years of addiction to pornography or illicit affairs, acknowledging this kind of sin to one’s wife is a delicate task. But a man cannot simply unload all the details and expect to easily move on. He must realize that confession is only the beginning of a very difficult process for them both. In this interview, Kathy Gallagher and Pastor Ed Buch sit down with Nate to share from years of experience how they have counseled husbands and wives to successfully work through this difficult and sensitive topic.

5 Steps to Overcoming Hopelessness | Ask the Counselor

When a person believes that freedom from sexual sin is impossible for them, it often leads to feelings of despair and hopelessness. We looked at common things inside us that lead to these feelings in our last episode and showed how they prevent us from gaining freedom. This week, we’ll identify five crucial steps that a person must take if they want to walk in true liberty from sin and what it looks like to put those into practice.

Today’s focus is on the common barriers to overcoming sexual sin and the ways these often produce hopelessness in a sex addict’s life. This interview is part of our new and ongoing “Ask the Counselor” series, where we interview various members of our counseling staff about some of the common questions asked by those in sexual sin.

When Jesus Returns, What Will He Find

When Jesus came in the first century, what He found caused Him to fashion a whip to cleanse the temple and led Him to pronounce woe on the religious leaders. We know that He is coming again—perhaps soon—but the question remains, “What will He find?” What will it take to be part of the faithful remnant who continue pressing on, clinging to God’s Word, and living in daily anticipation of His coming? We must prepare our hearts now!

The Lowliness of a Christian Life

For anyone who has truly found a new life in Christ, there will be a severe fight against their old nature. But it’s easy to overlook some of the enemies that one will face in that battle. One of those often-unnoticed opponents is pride, and yet overcoming it is closely linked with living a pure life. In this episode we talk about the struggle for humility and why it is so important to never give up in that fight.

Husbands, It's Time to Know Christ

For the Christian husband coming out of sexual sin, reclaiming his marriage for the Lord will be no simple task. But thankfully, he is not alone! Jesus is with him. Jesus is willing to come along side any man who desires to magnify Christ in his marriage. And as a husband seeks to know Jesus’ heart, his marital relationship will grow stronger. The personal testimony of Jeff Colón and his wife Rose will inspire any to find the answer to all his marriage’s problems in knowing Christ.

Husbands, It’s Time to Lay Your Life Down
38:22

Husbands, It’s Time to Lay Your Life Down

Married men in sexual sin often say that they love their wives. But their actions tell a different story. Viewing pornography, committing adultery, and engaging in other forms of illicit sexual behavior reveal a lack of love in their hearts. After years of this hypocrisy, putting the words, “I love you,” into action will be difficult. But husbands can learn how to love their wives by letting Scripture teach them God’s way of love. Our heavenly Father’s willingness to give up His precious Son demonstrates that love. Christ’s becoming a man and willingly sacrificing His life for us reveals it too. It’s a standard every husband must strive for. Love that gives all and holds nothing back.

Husbands, It’s Time to Be Honest

Husbands, It’s Time to Be Honest

As we continue our series on becoming a biblical husband, we want to cover another critical aspect of rebuilding a marriage—honesty, transparency and vulnerability. These virtues are essential in marriage, especially for men overcoming sexual sin, because many of them are well versed in hiding their sin and lying. Dustin Renz’s own secret life built up for years. And while he felt that he was protecting those around him through his lies, he now looks back seeing how his deception only prolonged his path into freedom. His wife Brittany shares with us as well the devastating effects his hidden sin had on her, a young mother on the mission field. Together they share with us what it took for them to work through the aftermath of all this in a biblical way.

Husbands, It’s Time to Be Selfless

Selfishness is engrained deep within the heart of any man who's given himself over to a life of sexual sin. This sinful mindset will be a huge challenge in learning to be a good husband, even after the Lord has begun a real work. In this interview, Steve Gallagher shares how selfishness caused division in his marriage for years and discusses the process the Lord used to transform his heart and make him into a more loving and caring husband.

Husbands, It's Time to Fulfill Your Calling
34:06

Husbands, It's Time to Fulfill Your Calling

If you’re really beginning to live in victory, you might think that from here on out everything will be easy. But in your marriage, you will still see that old man rising up. You may find your temper surfacing occasionally. Complaining and criticism may still come naturally. There’s even thoughts of lust still grabbing at you when you least expect it. Is this what God has for your marriage? I think the answer is yes, and no. It’s not God’s will that you continue in sin. However, he does desire to use these struggles to mold both of your characters. It takes time to unlearn years of sinful habits and to learn the values that God has designed and called you to live out in your marriage. For husbands, it starts by learning to love and serve your wife in the way that Christ loves us.

Developing a Life of Intercession
26:13

Developing a Life of Intercession

If we carefully read the Gospels and the Book of Acts, we can clearly see that prayer was a huge part of the life of Jesus and the early church. There were times Jesus spent all night in prayer. The apostles spent ten days praying in the upper room, seeking God and waiting for the Holy Spirit. When Peter was in prison, the believers prayed, and the prison doors opened. The believers in Antioch prayed and fasted, leading to the commissioning of Paul and Barnabas for missionary work. There is no mistaking it: God moves in response to prayer, and if we want to do God’s will of mercy, then we must learn to become strong in prayer.

Hindrances to Living God's Will

In our podcast series, "Victory," we have been learning that living a life devoted to helping meet the needs of others will destroy the power of lust in our lives. But we learn very quickly that our flesh and the devil are directly opposed to this lifestyle and that there are many hindrances to keep us from living out God’s will. In this interview we want to discuss a few of those hindrances which come against us as we seek to repent of that selfish lifestyle.

Lyndell's Story of Hope: An Adulterous Christian Woman No More

Lyndell Holtz grew up surrounded by godly examples. She had a powerful experience with the Lord as a young girl, developing strong convictions about right and wrong. She eventually married an aspiring minister and began a life she thought was destined for happiness. But after 20 years Lyndell found herself depressed and doubting, still aching for that happiness. It was these things that allowed the enemy to lead her to a place she swore she would never go – an adulterous relationship. But you’ll also hear how God took what the devil meant for evil and turned it for great good – in her own life, and in the lives of others.

He can convince multitudes that, though they have ongoing sin in their life, their work in ministry or church attendance means they are living according to God's will. Tragically, hundreds of thousands are living like this, professing Christianity but enslaved to sin. If this describes you, know that it doesn't have to stay this way. In this segment, we talk with Biblical Counselor Luke Imperato about how we can start living wholly in God's will instead of Satan's.

How to Avoid the Trap of Self-Pity

From Purity for Life Episode, #394 - https://www.purelifeministries.org/podcast It’s easy to get discouraged if you’ve been stuck in sexual sin a long time. You may really want to stop, but you’ve tried everything you can think of to get free and yet, nothing works. Maybe you’re thinking, “This is hopeless. I’ll never be free.” If you’ve been thinking along these lines, you’ve fallen prey to self-pity, just another one of Satan’s schemes to keep people away from true repentance, faith and salvation. It’s an easy trap to fall into. In this episode, we look at how to know if you’re in self-pity, how to avoid it, and how to get out of it.
