Die to Lust and Live to Love

Patrick Hudson
Director of Ministry Outreach

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.

Within Jesus’ words in John 15 is a foundational truth for the victorious Christian life: abide.

Now, as beautiful as that word is, it’s actually not as easy as it sounds. As you’ll learn in today’s sermon, the path to abiding in Christ is quite difficult for our flesh nature. But as Ministry Outreach Director Patrick Hudson explains, the life you end up living makes the path completely worth it.

Patrick earned a bachelor’s degree in music composition and a teaching credential from Point Loma Nazarene University and went on to teach music for several years. Though he sensed God’s call from an early age, he became entangled in sexual sin and worldliness, leading to years of licentious living and its ensuing guilt. In time, God led him to the Pure Life Ministries Residential Program where he experienced a profound transformation. Today, Patrick serves in the media department, overseeing the production of video and print content that testifies to the redemptive power of the Cross.
