Compulsive porn users. Serial adulterers. Out-of-control spenders on sex. These are the kinds of men who enroll in our 9-month Residential Program, and for over 35 years we've been watching God radically transform these men. But why is our program so effective? In this short podcast series, we'll look at the top five reasons why so many men find a brand-new life at our Residential Program.   Resources we mentioned: Pure Life Ministries Residential Program  

Lawndale Christian Legal Center ran a pilot program in 2015 that provided wraparound services including stable housing, a car to get to work and mental health services to men ages 18 to 26 who were on probation. This not only kept them out of prison but helped break the cycle of recidivism. This program has now expanded, and 20 men will have a chance to live in an apartment and participate in a residential workforce development program at LCLC's new headquarters at the Deer Center. Reset learns more about the impact of this program from participant Frederick Dennis and founder and CEO of Lawndale Christian Legal Center Cliff Nellis.

In this From the Chapel segment, Steve Gallagher exhorts our Residential Program students to be careful not to abuse God's goodness, but to allow it to lead them to true repentance.

For some, overcoming unbelief means sincerely struggling to believe God in the midst of trials and setbacks. For others, it means humbling their hearts and submitting their stubborn wills to God. In this From the Chapel segment, Luke Imperato exhorts all of our Residential Program students to overcome whatever obstacles lie in the way of a living faith.

When Brian was growing up, he wholeheartedly pursued sex, drugs, a musical career, and whatever else he thought would bring him fulfillment. But then, God began to draw Brian—through a drumming gig at a church, through a girlfriend who was fed up with his porn addiction, and then through his time in the Residential Program at Pure Life Ministries. Little bit by little bit, God was calling Brian to became a dedicated follower of Jesus.

MoxieMoments brings you Summer Dickerson, Founder of Women of the Well Ministry, discussing what she stands for. Summer Dickerson was a victim of child abuse, sexual abuse & a victim of human trafficking which led to pain, gang violence, sexual torture, drug addiction, mental health illness including PTSD. She was even buried alive and pistol-whipped. While living with and in constant fear for her life, not to mention unrelenting anxiety, Summer was, in her words, delivered through a relationship with Christ.  Now it is her calling to work with women that are in similar situations and lifestyles. So much so, she has now founded a Ministry called Women of the Well Ministries which has a Residential Program to help women change their lives so they can walk in the destiny God created for them.  She is also the business owner of a company called Esther's Soap Company which allows women in her Ministry learn a new trade on how to make all-natural goat milk soap. All proceeds go back to the ministry. She has a documentary out & is working on a book.

Sexual sin is an obvious manifestation of a worldly mindset. But there are many other, less obvious, and less wicked ways, in which Satan allures us into a godless lifestyle. This was definitely true for Gabriel, Chad and Vinny – three men on staff here at Pure Life Ministries who were once hopelessly caught up in the world system. In this special roundtable discussion, they sit down to discuss the details of what drew them away from God, and also the miraculous transformation that occurred during their time in our Residential Program.

“Yes, it's big work that we do, and it's super important, but I like the opportunity to pour into other people, to develop them to give them the skills and the tools that have made me successful in my role, and help them be successful in theirs.”Justin Malcolm is one of Wedgwood Christian Services' incredible Residential Treatment Home Supervisors, who knows that investing in people and helping them develop their skills is crucial – crucial to his team feeling confident and capable in their work, and crucial for the treatment and care of the kids in Wedgwood's Residential Program. And it's all tied together by a calling to make an impact.In this Coffee Break Conversation, Justin shares why this “weird and sometimes hard” work is so important, how good leadership and investing in staff makes a difference in our kids' lives, and why Wedgwood is a special place to work and heal.Are you committed, passionate and tired of being compared to a superhero? Do you just want to be yourself? Bring experience and expertise – and a deep desire to make a difference to a supportive place where you can do just that while feeling valued. If you're ready to let someone invest in you for a change, head on over to www.wedgwood.org/takeoffyourcape to join Wedgwood's team and extend God's love to youth, adults, and families today.

Just because we take extreme measures to prevent giving in to sexual temptation doesn't mean anything has changed in our hearts. We can't just put off sinful habits, we need God to give us a new heart – one in which He produces the true fruits of righteousness. In this roundtable discussion, Josh, Chris, and Luke sit down in the Pure Life studio to discuss the crazy things they did to overcome their sexual addiction and how it never worked. But their stories will also give hope to anyone in bondage as they share how God blessed them and freed them tremendously during their time in our Residential Program.

Host Jeremy C. Park talks with Eric Evans, Program Director with 4:13 Strong, who shares some of the history for the Middle Tennessee based nonprofit and highlights their efforts to provide training, skills and job placement for at-risk men.

Here's the full roundtable discussion from Episode #492. In it, three Pure Life staff members discuss the subtle ways the enemy lured them into sexual sin through the spirit of Babylon. They also discuss how God helped them separate themselves from that spirit during their time in our Residential Program.

“It's not about us as individuals. It's not really, dare I say, it's not even about therapy. It's about relationships and growth.”Wedgwood's Residential Program offers safety, stability, and care to kids who have experienced some form of trauma in their young lives – which is sometimes compounded by other challenges like developmental disabilities and cognitive impairments. Scott Peterson has spent the last 8 years working with these teens in Wedgwood's VanderArk Program, providing specialize residential care in a variety of roles – currently as the therapist.In this Coffee Break Conversation, Scott talks about the importance of showing up, building relationships, and how sometimes it's not even really about the therapy.Learn more about how you can make a difference in the lives of kids at Wedgwood, visit www.wedgwood.org/get-involved/

Over the next four weeks, we're going to play a series of messages by Reverend Dave Leopold from the Zion Faith Homes. These talks, delivered back in February to the men in our Residential Program, focused on helping us to see the character of Jesus Christ more clearly.   This week's message comes from John 1, where the Apostle wrote that Jesus Christ came to us, “full of grace and truth.” These words are a profound revelation about Jesus' ministry, but they also reveal to us what we truly need from God in this life. Grace enables us to do what we could never do on our own, while truth tells us exactly what we need to hear and shows us what we need to see. Together, they work to help us to find our way towards real freedom.

Maybe you've tried everything to break free of porn addiction or some other form of sexual sin. You've tried reading books, listening to podcasts and sermons, going to support groups and therapy sessions. You really do desire freedom, but nothing has worked. However, there is one more option: the Pure Life Ministries Residential Program. Now some people have asked us, “Why is that any different than all the other options out there?” Our hope is that today's episode will answer that question and show you that real, deep and lasting change is possible.

Teens 4 Teens Help: Innovative Peer-to-Peer Platform for Young People Seeking Recovery Show Guests: Jeff, Kathy and Kara Long Teens 4 Teens Help is comprised of a group of young people who faced (or are facing) serious mental health challenges—who choose recovery. On this unique peer-to-peer platform, teens and young adults share their stories on the most important topics facing their generations today including: depression, eating disorders, anxiety, coping with COVID, suicide prevention and more. The founders of Teens 4 Teens Help, Jeff and Kathy Long, started their journey when they admitted their own daughter into a Residential Program for the treatment of an eating disorder.

He continues that their mission is to become the largest movement of its kind that will positively impact the lives of thousands of teens and their families across the country and globally.

People who are sincerely seeking freedom from sexual sin usually have a vague idea that there is something under the surface that needs to be dealt with--a kind of root sin that lies underneath all of their other sins. And they are right. But they are usually very surprised when they find out what it is. In this show we’re going to look at how pride relates to a man’s struggle with sin, give you an inside look at how we help men in our Residential Program identify and deal with pride, and then offer hope that there really is freedom from the root…and the fruit.

When someone is pursuing purity, they can count on facing a tidal wave of temptation. But just feeling tempted isn't wrong...so how can you tell the difference between temptation and actual sin? Ed Buch, the pastor of Pure Life Ministries' Residential Program, offers his own answer to this internal struggle. Plus, Steve Gallagher shares a preview of the 2019 Annual Conference, and Jeff and Rose Colón encourage struggling couples to pursue God's true path of blessing for their marriage.
