You Can’t Resist the Devil without Your Sword

August 5, 2026
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.

Many Christians ask, “What can I do to find victory over sin?” The answer is profound and deep in meaning, yet simple in practice: “Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you” (James 4:8). Yet many Christians skip out on one of the most crucial ways to do that, becoming a lover of God’s Word.

In this powerful message, Patrick Hudson uses Psalm 19 to reveal the truly marvelous power of the Word of God to transform even the most darkened lives into men and women who can resist the devil, and his numerous schemes.

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.
