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.

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.
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.
"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
