    • Sexual Purity Part 4 - The Battle Is In The Mind
      Feb 10 2026

      In this pivotal fourth episode of our Sexual Purity series, we confront the truth that tomorrow’s character is made out of today’s thoughts. Sexual sin doesn’t appear out of nowhere—it’s the predictable result of a process that begins in the mind. Drawing from Matthew 15, we explore how Jesus raised the standard of purity far beyond external behavior to the very thoughts of our hearts.

      We begin by examining where lust comes from—not from out of the blue, but from within. What we feed our minds determines the person we become. As the saying goes: Sow a thought, reap an action; sow an action, reap a habit; sow a habit, reap a character; sow a character, reap a destiny.That’s why your most important sex organ is not your body—it’s your mind.

      Victory starts with setting wise boundaries. Many of us want purity, but we sabotage ourselves by making choices that feed lust instead of starving it. Through personal testimony, we discuss practical boundaries—from avoiding certain places to guarding our eyes—not as legalistic rules, but as lifesaving habits that protect our hearts “above all else,” as Proverbs 4:23 commands.

      But we can’t just try not to think about impurity. The mind is not a vacuum—it will be filled with something. Instead, we learn to fill our minds with what is pure, true, and lovely (Philippians 4:8). Using a memorable illustration about snakes and chocolate cake, we demonstrate how pure thoughts actively push out impure ones. You can’t stop birds from flying over your head, but you can stop them from nesting in your hair.

      Finally, we confront what lust does to us—it’s mental promiscuity, a sickness of the soul that marriage cannot cure. Like arsenic, lust poisons us gradually, but through repentance, accountability, and the renewing of our minds by God’s Word and Spirit, freedom is possible. This episode is a call to make a covenant with our eyes, to flush out the poison, and to experience the superior satisfaction found in a mind transformed by Christ.

      If you’re ready to move beyond willpower and win the battle where it really begins—in your thoughts—this episode offers biblical truth, practical steps, and hope for lasting change.

      Episode 3: Targeted — Spiritual Warfare, Lies, and the Superior Satisfaction of Purity

      In this urgent third episode of our Sexual Purity series, we face a sobering truth: if you are a Christian, you are a targeted man or a marked woman. Hell has taken out a contract on you. Drawing from the story of Achan in Joshua 7, we explore how Satan seeks to destroy lives through seemingly “harmless” compromises—especially when we are tired, isolated, or discouraged.

      We begin with a crucial warning: pride is the prelude to a fall. Assuming “it could never happen to me” is the very attitude that leaves us vulnerable. Spiritual warfare is real, and the enemy waits for moments of weakness to pounce. But we are not unaware of his schemes.

      One of Satan’s oldest tricks is the illusion of privacy—whispering that no one will know. Yet Scripture is clear: there is no such thing as a private moment before God. Sexual sin will be exposed, and its consequences are far-reaching—damaging our fellowship with God, nullifying our prayers, and hurting those around us, just as Achan’s hidden sin brought judgment on his family and nation.

      But how do we fight back? We learn to identify Satan’s lies. Temptation always looks good—like a beautiful fishing lure designed for destruction. In every moment of temptation, we must choose whose voice to believe: God’s truth or Satan’s deception.

      Ultimately, victory is not found in mere willpower, but in superior satisfaction. Lust promises relief, pleasure, and happiness—but it cannot deliver. Only Jesus satisfies the deepest thirst of our souls. This episode makes the case that saying “no” to immorality is not saying no to pleasure, but saying “yes” to the greater, lasting joy found in intimacy with God. When our hearts are satisfied in Christ, sin loses its appeal.

      If you’ve ever felt targeted, trapped, or tempted to believe that purity is too difficult, this episode offers biblical strategy, hope, and the bold reminder that He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.

    • Sexual Purity Part 2 - What's the Big Deal About Sex?
      Jan 27 2026

      Send us a text

      In this powerful second episode of our series on sexual purity, we tackle one of the most pressing and misunderstood questions: Why does sex matter so much to God? Drawing from 1 Corinthians 6:18, we explore why sexual sin is uniquely damaging—not just as an act, but because it touches the very core of who we are.

      We begin by affirming that sex is not a human invention, but a sacred gift created by a holy God—declared “very good” from the beginning. Through passages like Proverbs 5 and the Song of Solomon, we see that God celebrates sexual pleasure within its intended context: the lifelong covenant of marriage.

      But sex is also incredibly powerful—like fire. Contained within its proper boundaries, it brings warmth, intimacy, and life. Outside of them, it brings devastation. Many have experienced the pain and hopelessness that comes from sexual brokenness, but there is hope. Purity is not a restriction; it is a pathway to beauty, freedom, and a reflection of heaven itself.

      We delve into the clear boundaries Scripture provides: sex and marriage are inseparable. Sex is designed to unite two persons—body, soul, and spirit—in a commitment that mirrors Christ’s love for His church. God’s design is not to deprive us, but to protect us, because His rules are always enforced, and breaking them always breaks us.

      Finally, we ask the most important question: Who owns your body? Using a simple but striking pencil illustration, we revisit 1 Corinthians 6:19–20: You are not your own. You were bought with a price—the blood of Jesus. Living in purity is not about following arbitrary rules; it’s about honoring the One who made you, redeemed you, and knows what is truly for your good.

      If you’ve ever wondered why God cares about sex, how to navigate temptation, or how to reclaim a life of purity, this episode offers biblical truth, honest reflection, and hope for the journey.

      Key Scriptures: 1 Corinthians 6:18–20; Genesis 1:31; Proverbs 5:18–19; 1 Thessalonians 4:3–8

      Join us as we pursue God’s best—and discover why purity is worth the fight.
