Single friends, this is for you! Well, it's really for everyone. We talk dating, singleness, marriage, addiction, freedom and so much more with our friend Jonathan “JP” Pokluda.  JP is the Lead Pastor of Harris Creek Baptist Church in Waco, TX. He was formerly the leader of The Porch in Dallas, TX which grew to be the largest weekly young adult gathering of its kind in the country.  JP didn't come to understand the grace of the Gospel until his early twenties after being involved in different denominational churches his entire life. This ignited a desire in him to inspire young adults to radically follow Jesus Christ and unleash them to change the world. His most recent book release and best-seller, OutDated, was written after years of observing the changing landscape of dating. JP's partner in ministry is Monica, his wife of sixteen years, and together they disciple their children Presley, Finley, and Weston.   JOIN THE CONVERSATION Find us wherever you are: @findpurehope or /findpurehope and use #aworldfree, or visit: purehope.net/aworldfreepodcast   SUPPORT If this message and mission is meaningful to you, consider supporting the ministry of pureHOPE: purehope.net/give   For more information, visit purehope.net.

Dr. Jeff Warren and Whitney McIntosh join us in this episode to talk about discipleship. Often we want to leave ministry up to the "professionals" for whom discipleship is a literal job description.

Whether the primary issue in your community is polygamy or pornography, all of our sexual issues share the same root: our sin nature. We were all conceived in iniquity as the psalmist says. The good news is we also share the same hope: Jesus is our Pure Hope.

We tend to make these very rigid gender associations that do not actually have anything to do with what it means to be a male image bearer of God or a female image bearer of God. The truth is all of our maleness and femaleness can be summed up in accepting our identity as either a son or daughter of God as He uniquely and intentionally created us.   SHOW NOTES Scripture, resources, and ways to pray, understand, resolve and engage: purehope.net/episode-07-male-and-female   JOIN THE CONVERSATION Find us wherever you are: @findpurehope or /findpurehope and use #aworldfree, or visit: purehope.net/aworldfreepodcast   SUPPORT If this message and mission is meaningful to you, consider supporting the ministry of pureHOPE: purehope.net/give   CONTENT We will explore mature themes from a biblically-rooted perspective.

Wherever we go, wherever we've been, He is there! In this episode we are joined by Justin Torrence, lead actor of The Heart of Man film, to discuss our Father's heart for us—both in the places where we have been deeply wounded by the sexual brokenness of someone else and in the places where we have acted out of our own sexual brokenness.   SHOW NOTES Scripture, resources, and ways to pray, understand, resolve and engage: purehope.net/episode-05-our-fathers-heart   JOIN THE CONVERSATION Find us wherever you are: @findpurehope or /findpurehope and use #aworldfree, or visit: purehope.net/aworldfreepodcast   SUPPORT If this message and mission is meaningful to you, consider supporting the ministry of pureHOPE: purehope.net/give   CONTENT We will explore mature themes from a biblically-rooted perspective.

Why do we experience so much sexual brokenness? Why is this area of our lives so consistently attacked?

"Save yourself for marriage." Hmm... a familiar message, but is this really God's message about sex? About purity? Not exactly. There's some truth here, but we've got our words all twisted and tangled. There is a whole lot of deception wrapped up in this little phrase as well as some others we'll consider in this episode. Because that's the thing about the deceiver... he deals in half-truths, partial-truths, 80/20-truths, how-about-we-just-leave-that-part-out-truths—distortions that impede the compelling vision our God has set before us! Freedom comes when we walk with The Truth. Purity is a relationship not an accomplishment.   SHOW NOTES Scripture, resources, and ways to pray, understand, resolve and engage: purehope.net/episode-03-the-distortion-and-what-purity-really-means   JOIN THE CONVERSATION Find us wherever you are: @findpurehope or /findpurehope and use #aworldfree, or visit: purehope.net/aworldfreepodcast   SUPPORT If this message and mission is meaningful to you, consider supporting the ministry of pureHOPE: purehope.net/give   CONTENT We will explore mature themes from a biblically-rooted perspective.

What are we talking about when we're talking about sex? God is telling a candid and compelling story from Genesis to Revelation. He is telling the story of us—giving us a glimpse into the profound mystery and union of Christ and the Church. God did not design sex with an attitude of repression or with the idea of detachment in mind. Let's begin to look in His Word with fresh eyes...   SHOW NOTES Scripture, resources, and ways to pray, understand, resolve and engage: purehope.net/episode-02-more-compelling-story-of-sex   JOIN THE CONVERSATION Find us wherever you are: @findpurehope or /findpurehope and use #aworldfree, or visit: purehope.net/aworldfreepodcast   SUPPORT If this message and mission is meaningful to you, consider supporting the ministry of pureHOPE: purehope.net/give.   CONTENT We will explore mature themes from a biblically-rooted perspective.

Why did we name our podcast "A World Free?" Because that world is coming. Our vision is a world free of sexual exploitation and brokenness—no trafficking, no abuse, no affairs, no shame, only wholeness. This is bold vision!
