In this From the Chapel segment, Steve Gallagher exhorts our Residential Program students to be careful not to abuse God's goodness, but to allow it to lead them to true repentance.

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.

For some, overcoming unbelief means sincerely struggling to believe God in the midst of trials and setbacks. For others, it means humbling their hearts and submitting their stubborn wills to God. In this From the Chapel segment, Luke Imperato exhorts all of our Residential Program students to overcome whatever obstacles lie in the way of a living faith.

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!"   Resources we mentioned: 20 Truths that Helped Me in My Battle with Porn Addiction (Study Journal) By Steve Gallagher

God is good, which means that He wants nothing less than the best for us. But it also means that He won't be satisfied until we are fully mature men and women of God. That's what we'll look at in this Timeless Truths segment.

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."

In this Timeless Truths segment: God is more than willing to set us free, but we've got do things His way. We have to allow Him to continually search our hearts and show us what displeases Him. Then, all we need to do is take the path of repentance.

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!

Anyone who justifies a porn habit is on very dangerous ground. In this week's Timeless Truths segment, we'll look at what the Bible says happens when we allow a pattern of sin to remain in our lives.

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. One of the reasons multitudes are addicted is because they’ve been deceived by half-truths. In 10 Half-Truths that Keep Us Addicted to Porn, we’ll look at deceptions that keep people in bondage to sin, but more importantly, we’ll use God’s Word to reveal the powerful truths that will set them free.
