Welcome to Episode 2 in our current series: The Church Addicted, in which we’re asking the question, how did we get this way? How is it that when it comes to sexual sin in the lives of Christians, today’s Evangelical Church is no different than the world around them?
At Pure Life we help men get free from life-dominating habits of sin. But what are the disciplines that makes all the difference between a man walking in victory or falling back into his sin? This week we look at the all-important but oft-neglected disciplines that bring faithfulness and growth in the Christian life.

The latest statistics concerning men addicted to pornography and other illicit sexual sins are staggering. 64% viewing porn at least monthly. 36% of young men watching it at least daily. 35% of men admitting that they are having an affair. The worst part? These statistics are not from unbelievers—but from people professing to be followers of Jesus.
Welcome to The Church Addicted—a series of shows where we look at how these statistics have become the Church's reality.
In today’s episode, we discuss the modern trend of basing one’s eternal destiny on a single decision to ask Jesus into their heart, and the lack of life-change these incomplete conversions often lead to.
The Church Addicted—it's a series where we look at why the Church is just as addicted as the world is. First reason: false conversions.
People who are sincerely seeking freedom from sexual sin usually have a vague idea that there is something under the surface that needs to be dealt with--a kind of root sin that lies underneath all of their other sins. And they are right. But they are usually very surprised when they find out what it is. In this show we’re going to look at how pride relates to a man’s struggle with sin, give you an inside look at how we help men in our Residential Program identify and deal with pride, and then offer hope that there really is freedom from the root…and the fruit.
Sexual sin is just the fruit of a life that is full of pride. But there are key ways to overcome pride that really bring freedom.
Homosexuality— this is THE issue that most churches are facing today. In today's show, we discuss with Steve Gallagher how pastors can show loving concern for those dealing with homosexuality without compromising biblical truth. Then, Pastor Ed Buch shares how he counsels the married man who struggles with Same-Sex Attraction. We'll wrap it up with a wonderful testimony of a man who found freedom in Jesus after decades of bondage.
It is possible for pastors to show loving concern and offer wise counsel, even to married men, without compromising biblical truth.
Men in sexual sin desperately need the discipline of the Lord. He has to reprove us, to correct us, and even, at times, sorely chastise us. In today’s program, members of the Pure Life Staff discuss their insights into this often overlooked, but clearly biblical truth: God disciplines His children whom He loves for our own good.
