At an evangelistic meeting, Gladys Aylward gave God a complete surrender of body and soul. Soon, the call came: go to China. It seemed impossible, but she was convinced if He had called her, He would lead and provide. Her story is both amazing and ordinary—her daring feats of bravery in the midst of the Japanese–Chinese war and her perilous trek leading a hundred children to freedom. Yet it also shines with simple acts of love and faith, flowing from her conviction that everyone needs to know the love of God in Jesus Christ. Her story is extraordinary, yet accessible to all. And it’s yet another reason why we think you should read Christian biographies.   Resources we mentioned: Gladys Aylward: The Little Woman (Book) By Christine Hunter & Gladys Aylward

Timeless Truths: Restoring a marriage from the ruin of sexual sin isn't easy. The husband needs to bear his wife as she fights through the pain, fear and anger. The wife ought to bear her husband as he battles his way out of lust. But if they'll persist in walking in love, the Lord will do a miracle in them.

Every true believer struggling with sin will eventually realize just how deeply they need inward transformation. But how is that transformation actually going to take place? Sheer willpower? Gaining doctrinal knowledge? Talking to others? In this  "Ask the Counselor" episode, we'll look at a vital part of the transformation process: renewing the mind.   Resources we mentioned: Key Lessons on the Road to Freedom (Podcast Series) By Pure Life Ministries

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.

How many times have you promised yourself, “I will never do that again!” but then fell into sin again? The longer that cycle continues, you may start believing that freedom isn't even possible. That’s what Steve Gallagher used to think, until he learned how to win the battle against temptation. In this episode, we continue to share with you the truths found in our "20 Truths" YouTube series. Today’s topic? “Temptation is a Winnable Battle.”   Resources: 20 Truths (Podcast Series) 20 Truths that Helped Me in My Battle with Porn Addiction (Study Journal)

Timeless Truths: Fasting is a spiritual discipline that brings the flesh under control—a must for anyone who wants to overcome sexual sin—and allows the spirit man to grow in grace. In this segment, Steve Gallagher gives practical and spiritual advice about establishing a regular habit of fasting.

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.   Resources we mentioned: Pure Life Mobile App

As we earnestly seek to be like Christ, we may get discouraged when we see how unlike Him we still are. In this "From the Chapel" segment, Josh Rowand testifies that as we fix our eyes on Him and simply obey Him, He is faithful to make us more and more like Him.

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.

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.
