T4V2 - Judgment + Mercy = Real Change | Micah 7:18-19

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. Sin has consequences—consequences that must be felt and allowed if real change is to take place. Praise God for His incredible grace!   Resources we mentioned: * Pure Life Ministries Residential Program [https://www.purelifeministries.org/residential]   Have Any Questions for Us? 📧Email: podcast@purelifeministries.org

#679 - Are You Taking Jesus Seriously?

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 [https://www.amazon.com/Chasing-Dragon-Struggle-Against-Darkness/dp/0800797035?crid=1BJGMSXDEIAU4&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.0F0-ETlqUnY5yc13467loxFb2kfdxiUwLrgnytigXezHHcjcTQD72R_4hUqkMnbV20V63lxrpobx2vPwp1m4Qwm7NRIyQVdV8LAsGaohVjFi1godppl0O-hQ7iSyoyk9pk1TT8bIrKE6TUgV52YnmuZDK8FJk6L-F5VmgQsTQfrDWk1SKnrKNbBbF2OXPo-uoiBdiO1te3UupAGvKrX47OvvMPXdY47w4s43hkDNHOk.mRypOCJyp64_SIL_-QCR96A9EI3Dlq3sB5EmRUKPWtI&dib_tag=se&keywords=chasing+the+dragon+jackie+pullinger&qid=1781018897&sprefix=chasing+the+drag%2Caps%2C117&sr=8-1] (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

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 [https://www.purelifeministries.org/residential]

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

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 [https://www.purelifeministries.org/podcast?series=Why+You+Should+Read] (Podcast Series) By Pure Life Ministries * How to Minister to Christians in Sexual Sin [https://www.purelifeministries.org/pastors-seminar] (Seminar for Pastors and Counselors) * Out of the Depths of Sexual Sin [https://store.purelifeministries.org/product/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 [https://www.amazon.com/dp/0800793242/?bestFormat=true&k=i%20dared%20to%20call%20him%20father%20by%20bilquis%20sheikh&crid=263O4LROPW6YP&sprefix=I%20dared%20t] (The Autobiography of Bilquis Sheikh) * God's Hostage: A True Story of Persecution, Imprisonment, and Perseverance [https://www.amazon.com/Gods-Hostage-Persecution-Imprisonment-Perseverance/dp/1540900762?crid=1A6D1RUYKDIQF&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.gXcsc_ROfZYEU2VjZemdn6t_z6cyttAc2UUrohLqeM8jQoyCRyTpZ8Q6bBj5roqeQlvMWkuEtbgX2owAYTqoTBaK2FFPixA3UUYEbcn8k9PShpoG0wVL9wOrBdMF4A-bQkBMo5WtewwVIa0QCS1nkATZcoUfAJjruUFbIv1Zp8mVl39SljEvIbyqmhnzdq6VnsWTKqlvYL9mjJoE4SNu17oZebSJfIJRbJpgSzs5r5Y.9a_CPj-fHi9Us0GcDQdxRMP0k5ScNZLT_e-GYIp9eaQ&dib_tag=se&keywords=god%27s+hostage&qid=1780435767&s=books&sprefix=god%27s+hostage%2Cstripbooks%2C93&sr=1-1] (Memoir) By Andrew Brunson * The Pilgrim Church [https://www.amazon.com/Pilgrim-Church-Continuance-Succeeding-Exemplified/dp/1684222516?crid=3R7NDZR5ZEY9X&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.WLy_ZdMnJ_MPyFAtTGirv0qmf9tdnxjZm9XSNw-piwBXe4WJJFg_w2_esvAt1vbncluKII8zM4OJJsUAzltaCeW2v0mPOxIDKMaS5fJgY4wLdBc85VpII3clq1cw6LyTVP8E-cgD1MAJkV4xCoqBvtNOKYui87iRaY38auh2o-zGPv6fZB1jR9WmkO7MFzYd9yFuT6c2Ec7OnbGS7ahfjtuOJTt5mFpsHfSo1MrQzCg.TvKriW7yApT3-LBtu369WyKRyw7K4wfcP1L1xoFFvlE&dib_tag=se&keywords=the+pilgrim+church&qid=1780435959&s=books&sprefix=the+pilgrim+church%2Cstripbooks%2C108&sr=1-1] (Book) By EH Broadbent   Have Any Questions for Us? 📧Email: podcast@purelifeministries.org
