Pure Life Ministries Podcast

Everything we interact with attempts to influence us, and not always with the best intentions. We face deadly influencers daily. The Bible identifies them as the world, the flesh, and the devil. These MUST be overcome by anyone desiring continual victory over sexual sin.

Overcoming is not quick or easy. But it’s worth every ounce of effort. 

This week, Luke Imperato shares how victory is attainable over that deadly trio and why it’s worth fighting for. 🥊

Proverbs 18:2 describes the next form of pride we’re tackling–know-it-all pride. It says, “A fool does not delight in understanding, but only in revealing his own mind.” You don’t have to know everything to be a know-it-all—you just have to believe you have all the answers. This pride is easy to spot in others, but could we be displaying it without realizing it?

We’ll explore why know-it-all pride is so appealing, whether anything good can come from it, and how it can become entangled with sexual sin.

Today, we continue our discussion on pride by examining self-protective pride—a subtle but dangerous form of pride employed by those in sexual sin because of the shame they feel.

When faced with vulnerability, do you default to building up a wall? Do you seek to preserve your image above all else? Biblical counselor Ryan Stempien joins us to expose how this pride takes root, why it's so destructive, and how Christians can overcome it.

Much of American Christianity is riddled with the false belief that you come as you are and can stay as you are. Paul disagrees with this when he says, "Reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord." The power of salvation in Christ is evidenced in a life free from the bondage of habitual sin and that power is available to those who respond in faith to the grace freely offered from the Lord.
