Overcome Addiction

We have helped thousands of hopeless men find real and lasting freedom from sexual sin.

When a young boy gets his first glimpse of pornography, he has no idea what sexual lust will soon do to him. Viewing pornographic images is like drinking poison in small doses. It may take years, but it always destroys its consumer. Over time, the toxin of lust will relentlessly alter his perspectives, pollute his mind, and spread darkness over his soul.

Can You Relate?

Has sexual sin enslaved you and poisoned your mind?
Have your wife and children been devastated by your pornography use?  
Has your relationship with God become stale and lifeless?  
Have your career or ministry been lost because of your addiction?

We're here to tell you there is a way out!

Can You Relate?

When a young boy gets his first glimpse of pornography, he has no idea how sexual lust will soon affect him. Viewing pornographic images is like drinking poison in small doses. At first, the pleasure is exhilarating, but it isn’t long before it becomes a cruel taskmaster, stripping the man of his decency, his innocence and his honor. Eventually he will become hardhearted, cynical and full of darkness.

Has sexual sin enslaved you and poisoned your mind?

Have your wife and children been devastated by your pornography use?  

Has your relationship with God become stale and lifeless?  

Have your career or ministry been harmed because of your addiction?

We're here to tell you there is a way out!

You Can Quit Looking at Porn Once and For All!

Over and over, we have witnessed men that believed they had no chance of escaping a life-dominating pornography habit find real and lasting freedom!

We've Been Helping Men Just Like You for Almost 40 Years

In 1982, our founder Steve Gallagher was deeply enslaved to pornography and other forms of sexual sin. But after he was radically transformed by the power of God, he felt called to found Pure Life Ministries, the first ministry in America to help Christian men find victory over sexual addiction. Over the last 35+ years, Pure Life Ministries has helped thousands of Christians dealing with sexual sin and its terrible consequences. Our decades of hands-on experience – combined with an unwavering conviction that God’s Word has the solution for all man’s problems – has given us deep insight into the roots of sexual addiction and how to achieve real and lasting freedom.

Powerful Insights We've Discovered About Sexual Addiction

Quick Fixes Never Work

The truth is that there is no quick fix for sexual sin. Snapping a rubber band or bouncing the eyes won't solve the real problem. There is no psychological gimmick that can provide the inward transformation a man needs to walk in victory. Even reading a good book, hearing a powerful sermon, or attending a weekend seminar—as helpful as these can be—will not bring men into the kind of freedom they long for. These might nudge them in the right direction, but the notion that a person can suddenly change deeply entrenched habits of thinking in a short period of time is illusionary.

Sexual Sin is a Heart Issue

Addiction is not merely a matter of a few bad behaviors; it is the outcome of sin that has become deeply entrenched in the heart and mind. And the truth is, only God has the power to transform the heart and renew the mind! Without this kind of deep inner transformation, behavioral modification tricks will be of little help. You may experience brief periods of "freedom," but in time, the sin in your heart will overpower you once again. But there's hope! When the power of God changes you from the inside out, you will find a new power needed to overcome sexual addiction and live a righteous life.

Real Change Requires Real Commitment

Most men who come to us for help would say they have already tried everything they can think of to get free. They have cried out to God for freedom, attended sexual addiction seminars, purchased the latest books, consumed purity podcasts, and more. But what most men don’t realize is that sexual addiction is not "one small problem" plaguing them, but rather the symptom of a much deeper, more pervasive spiritual condition. Those who constantly look for the easy fix end up going around the same mountain year after year—never getting anywhere. No, only the power of God can reach inside a man and bring about the healing and change that is needed.

We're Here to Help You

Starting this journey can be difficult on your own. That's why, since 1986, Pure Life Ministries has shown men how to develop the holiness and purity of heart that comes from a Spirit-controlled life. Everything we do is rooted in biblical truth that, when applied to the believer's daily life, will break the power of sin's bondage and usher him into a newfound freedom in Christ.

A Legacy of Changed Lives

"I desperately needed a miracle and Pure Life Ministries was the vessel the Lord used in my life. My life has never been the same since. I can say beyond a shadow of a doubt, I would not be where I am today if it had not been for the Lord and the anointed ministry of Pure Life."

Luke - Syracuse, NY

"Pure Life Ministries truly presented what it means to be a disciple of Christ and challenged us all to make the full commitment to be a real disciple of Jesus. No nonsense or compromise. They showed us the pure mercy of God to make us real, overcoming men of God."

Paul - Kansas City, MO

"Pure Life Ministries changed our lives forever. I have a new husband who loves me and more importantly, loves Jesus. I would never have chosen for sexual addiction to touch my life, but thank God that He has used all of it as an avenue of His grace, and mercy in our lives."

Sue - Los Altos, CA
