3 Dangerous Temptations in Seasons of Trial

January 28, 2026
Luke Imperato
Director of Residential Counseling

Pure Life Ministries has been a pioneer in dealing with sexual addiction and its consequences for over 35 years. During that span of time thousands of people have found freedom through our counseling programs and teaching materials.

God allows trials in our lives for a reason—and that reason can be for good in our lives even if those trials are a consequence of sinful choices we’ve made. God wants to teach us about trusting in Him and use circumstances to strengthen our faith.

If only the king of Judah during the Assyrian invasion knew this, then he wouldn’t have considered making an alliance with the enemies of Israel.

Residential Counseling director, Luke Imperato, expounds on three temptations which Egypt offered the kingdom of Judah in this message so that we can search our own hearts for these strongholds and repent of them.
