Podcasts about sexual immorality

God calls His people to be set apart, not because they have earned it, but because He has already loved them. Leviticus 20 lays out this call with clarity, commanding God's people to follow His statutes and avoid the ways of the surrounding nations. The reason is not about performance or self-righteousness. It is about responding to a God who has already acted on our behalf. We do not obey in order to be loved. Because we are loved, we obey. Understanding Leviticus also requires recognizing the difference between ceremonial laws and moral laws. Ceremonial impurity involved things like disease or childbirth, which were not sins but required a period of separation. Moral impurity, on the other hand, involved actual sins such as sexual immorality, idolatry, and injustice. The ceremonial laws were fulfilled in Christ, as seen in Acts 10 when God showed Peter a vision declaring clean what had once been called unclean. The moral standards, however, remain and apply directly to the lives of believers today.Holiness looks different depending on your season of life, but the call is the same for everyone. Young men face battles with apathy and lust. Young families can drift into making children the center of everything at the expense of their marriages. Middle-aged believers can quietly step back from serving God without even noticing the years passing. Everyone faces the pull of materialism, pride, and covetousness. The word holy simply means different, and that difference should be visible in how a believer lives compared to the world around them. Importantly, holiness is not about achieving perfection. Salvation is received, not earned. Jesus lived the perfect life we could not live, died for our sin, and through the Holy Spirit gives us everything we need for life and godliness. The practical starting point is simple: ask God to show you one specific area where you have been blending in when He is calling you to stand out, and take one step toward change, not out of guilt, but out of gratitude for what Christ has already done.

In this message, Pastor Karl walks through Matthew 19, where the Pharisees approach Jesus with pointed questions about divorce — testing him against the competing rabbinic schools of Shammai and Hillel. Rather than settling the debate on their terms, Jesus redirects them to God's original design for marriage from Genesis, addressing not just the surface question but the deeper issue underneath it: a hardened heart that looks for loopholes instead of surrendering to God's standard.Pastor Karl unpacks what Scripture teaches about marriage, divorce, and remarriage with pastoral care and honesty about how difficult these teachings can be to live out. He also explores the chapter's turn toward children, and the story of the rich young ruler — a man who came asking about religious righteousness but was really wrestling with money and control.The big idea: Jesus confronts the hardness of our hearts because his kingdom calls for commitment and sacrifice, while our natural tendency is to search for loopholes and excuses. This message is an invitation to let Scripture rebuke, correct, and train us — and to rely on the power of God's Spirit rather than our own willpower to live faithfully.Join us in person 8:00am, 9:30am & 11:00am every Sunday morning.37193 Ave 12 #3h, Madera, CA 93636For more visit us at flipside.churchFor more podcasts visit flipsidepodcasts.transistor.fm

Revelation 2:18-29 Our culture calls us to be more tolerant. Jesus, in his letter to the Church at Thyatira, indicts them for their tolerance of sin within the church. As believers in the Lord Jesus Christ, we can't expect a lost and dying world to follow Christ in obedience, but we must demand it within the church. Intolerance of sin is a good thing. But the challenges are real. Keith Pond opens up what Jesus said within the Revelation to the church at Thyatira.

Revelation 2:12-17 As Jesus commends, convicts, and condemns the various churches of Asia Minor (western Turkey), he comes to Pergamum, a city high on the coast, a city steeped in paganism. The lessons of that church 2000 years ago are fresh for us today. We must continue to hold fast to Christ in faith despite intense persecution. And we must be wary of false teachers who will lead us on the slippery slope of immorality and idolatry. Jesus' promises of blessing and judgment for those who hear and those who do not should cause us to take note. Keith Pond explains.

Anger, Sexual Immorality and low self-esteem are three of the most stubborn sins known to mankind. We know we should eliminate them from our lives, but the question is - HOW? Join Berni Dymet, on Christianityworks as he opens God's Word to discover how to eliminate these sins, once and for all.Support the show: https://christianityworks.com/channels/cw/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The sermon exhorts believers to pursue sanctification and abstain from sexual immorality by relying on the power of the Holy Spirit. It contrasts the Christian call to holiness with the normalized lust of the surrounding culture, emphasizing that God defines ethics and desires purity for His people. The preacher highlights marriage as a sacred covenant designed for mutual sanctification and selfless love, reflecting the relationship between Christ and the church. Urgent warnings are issued regarding the prevalence of sexual sin among professing Christians today, urging repentance and accountability. Ultimately, the message affirms that God calls believers to live distinct, holy lives through divine grace rather than human effort.

Anger, sexual immorality and low self-esteem are three of the most stubborn sins known to humanity. We know we should eliminate them from our lives, but the question is - HOW?   LIVING IN THE GOOD THINGS OF GOD Well, welcome to this third week in this series called "Eliminating Stubborn Sin – Once and For All". Over the last few weeks on the programme we have seen that God truly does want us to overcome stubborn sin in our lives – that God gives us the power to deal with every sin and whatever temptation comes our way. He gives us the way out – a way of dealing with it. Actually there are very few things that God says "Don't do!" and the only things to which He says "Don't do!" are the things, if we are honest with ourselves, the things that are going to hurt us. And today we are going to look at anger, sexual immorality and low self esteem because they are way out there. But when it comes to dealing with these stubborn sins, the issue is not so much that we should get rid of them – we kind of know that – the question is how? So let's kick off today with anger because anger is actually a big issue in this world today – it seems we're all so busy doing all the things we have to do – racing around, taking the kids to school, getting off to work and at work these days the pressure is really on. Make more, achieve more, deliver more – it used to be in the 'good old days' the pace was much slower. You had to wait for the mail to arrive and when you sent a letter out, it took a couple of days to get it all correct through the typing pool. But these days, even when people are on holidays with their families, they're answering emails on their mobile phones. We're so connected, so in demand, so busy – it's almost like we're like battery hens – the slightest thing makes us snap. Some people have more of a problem with anger than others. The more achievement oriented and outcome focused a personality we have, the more we are going to be prone to anger. And that was my 'biggie' when I became a Christian – anger. Nothing was ever good enough or fast enough for me and as I look at that, the whole "anger" thing was based on a self-centeredness and a sense of self importance. The world was there to serve ME and to fit in with MY plans and if you didn't play the game by MY rules and deliver what I wanted – well, watch out! It's a way of living and thinking and behaving that robs us of relationships and tenderness and joy. It's actually awful! But how can we change that? Well, here's how! Psalm 145, verse 8, says this: The Lord is gracious and merciful and show to anger and abounding in steadfast love. What that's saying is that God's grace and His mercy and His steadfast love make Him slow to get angry. God does get angry sometimes and that's a fearsome thing but not at the drop of a hat. He doesn't have a temper that's on a hair trigger. Why? "Because He's abounding in steadfast love." In other words, He's more focused on loving us for who we are than what we do or don't do. Imagine if this awesome and mighty God became angry with you and I every time we didn't fit in with His plans – we wouldn't last very long, would we? For me, learning to break the pattern of angry behaviour began with loving the people I was dealing with; valuing them for who they were; understanding their hurts and their inadequacies. The things that had happened to them in their lives that made them behave the way they did. And the more I did that, the less angry I started to feel. In fact, what I began to do was prepare myself for people. As I said, I am one of these outcome focused people who moves quickly, sets goals, achieves them. And it's easy when you're like that just to roll over the top of people. And then ... then I have to work with someone who just wants to have fun! You know the sort of people? They just want to enjoy the moment and I just want to get things done. But without them to help me enjoy the moment, well, I'd miss out. So I started to prepare myself – "I have to work with him today! Right! Okay! I understand him. He's not going to be like me today and that's okay", almost forgiving them, if you like, before they walked into the room. It took me a while to figure it out but that's what God is like. That's what that verse from that Psalm is all about. Psalm 145, verse 8: The Lord is gracious and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love. And actually that "slow to anger" thing has a lot to be said for it. Here are a couple of verses from Proverbs that really helped me. Proverbs chapter 12, verse 16: Fools show their anger at once but the prudent ignore an insult. In other words, the moment that someone says something that triggers anger in me, well, I've learned to let it pass me by, more often than not, these days. No, I don't have to win every time anymore. I don't have to have the last say; I don't have to be right all the time. "Only fools show their anger at once, the prudent ignore an insult." And this verse – Proverbs chapter 15, verse 1: A soft answer turns away wrath but a harsh word stirs up anger. This was like being a shock absorber. When someone does something to stir up anger and dissent, how wonderful it is to respond with gentleness and wisdom, calming the situation instead of throwing fuel on the fire with a harsh word. Ignore the insult and respond with a gentle, soft answer. Can I tell you, once I decided to start loving the people around me, these two things took a bit of practice but after a while they became a habit, because they're a much, much better way of living? These days I have much more peace in my heart; much more joy in my life. Instead of always having MY day ruined by other people's failure to fit in with my plans, I've discovered the joy of fitting in with their plans sometimes too. And the biggest thing ... the biggest thing with letting the anger go is that it set me free to enjoy the beauty and the creativity and the incredible specialness of each person I come in contact with. It's like a whole new world has opened up. Do I still get angry sometimes? Course I do, so do you! It's what I do with that anger when it happens that makes all the difference. This anger thing was a stubborn sin in my life. It was one that looked like it would never go away but when I took those few simple Scriptures we just talked about and started applying them to my life, God did the rest. He set me free from a sin that would have ruined the rest of my life. Next we are going to look at another one of those stubborn sins – sexual immorality.   STARTING EVERY DAY WITH JESUS Earlier we looked at overcoming anger and right now we are going to move on to sexual immorality because it's one of the most stubborn sins of all. It seems these days that it doesn't matter how hard we try, sexuality is constantly thrust before our eyes and under our noses. Now, don't get me wrong, I have a very simple view about sex. God invented it: it's good, it's great. But the role of our sexuality - apart from the obvious thing of keeping the human race going by bringing babies into the world – is to bring a husband and a wife into a level of intimacy so wonderful that there aren't enough words to describe how good that is. But because sex sells, it's used in the media to such an extent, you can't walk down the street without the image of a scantily clad woman advertising some product on a billboard shoved in your face. Now, God's Word is pretty clear on sex and here it is in a nut shell. Human sexuality is a part of His design for humanity and as such, physical intimacy is a beautiful gift from Him but the only proper expression of that gift is exclusively between one man and one woman who have been joined together as husband and wife in the life-long bond of marriage. And people who continue in sexual immorality outside that – whatever form that takes – will NOT inherit the Kingdom of God. They are not my ideas. That is clearly, clearly what God says through what I believe to be His Word – the Bible. Now, I think that one of the biggest issues today is pornography. So many men are caught up in sexual immorality – they're married, they want to be faithful to their wives but with the internet being available 24/7, the temptation is simply too great. And so they are caught up in the cycle of addiction and shame that spirals ever downward. It actually robs them of the intimacy that God had planned for them. It substitutes a poor impostor for the real thing. And because they are carrying the burden of hidden shame around in their hearts, it robs them of the power that God has for their lives – the power to make a difference for God in this world. That's why this particular stubborn sin is so insidious. Here are some sobering statistics: over 50% of all men are addicted to pornography; over 82% percent of males between fifteen and twenty-eight have intentionally or deliberately sought out pornography in the last three months. A man whose campaign to help men addicted to pornography, Pastor Steve Davies, puts it this way – he says: "We're at war and pornography is Satan's number one weapon against men to destroy their walk with Christ." So how do we overcome this most stubborn of sins? If you are a man addicted to this cycle of pornography, how can you overcome it? If you are a woman who's living through the pain of her husband's addiction to pornography, how can you be part of overcoming it? They're tough issues and perhaps the odd person is squirming right now and maybe you're tempted to turn the radio off but God's Word speaks into every situation ... every situation and this sin is no different. For the man who is caught up in this most stubborn of sins, the first thing he needs to know and understand is this: that Jesus came to set you free from every sin ... every sin, and this sin is no different. Colossians chapter 1, verses 13 to 14, says this: He has rescued us from the power of darkness and transferred us into the kingdom of his beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. So, anyone who has put their faith in Jesus has been rescued from the power of darkness and transferred into the Kingdom of Jesus Christ. And this Scripture too – Romans chapter 6, verse 14: For sin will have no dominion over you, since you are not under the law but under grace. So, here's the very first thing – this man caught up in pornography is entitled to believe that something has happened – sin no longer has dominion over him and whilst it might take a little while to overcome this addiction, the power of sin is broken because God applied His grace to you in that situation. This has already been dealt with on the cross of Christ; once and for all, the power of sin has been broken. So instead of approaching this addiction with faith in failure, you can approach it knowing that the deal is already done. Success is guaranteed and every time the devil whispers doubt into your heart, you can stand on God's Word. The second thing is getting really practical about what you look at and where your mind wanders. Proverbs chapter 5 is a powerful part of God's Word for anyone caught in the cycle of pornography. In particular, verse 8 says this about seduction: Keep you way far from her and do not go near the door of her house. It's so easy in a world saturated with sexuality, to let one image; one unintended and unfortunate encounter, act as a trigger for this addiction. Keep away; in other words, don't put yourself in places where you are going to be trapped and when the temptation does come your way, "don't go near to the door of her house". In other words, guard your eyes, guard your mind, guard your heart – stay away and don't go there. Any man knows that there is a line he can step over, allowing his mind to wander into places where it should never go. And that wandering ultimately conceives sin. Thirdly, you men who are married flee ... flee into the arms of your wife. She is the real thing; she is God's perfect provision for you. And as I said earlier on the programme, God's plan for exclusive intimacy between one man and one woman who are yoked together for life, through thick and thin, is so utterly wonderful. It can never be replaced by this impostor called pornography. This may surprise you – if you have never read it before, but the Bible – First Corinthians chapter 7, verses 1 to 5 - tells husbands and wives to be intimate with one another. Go on, read it for yourself – it's all there – it's God's plan. Finally, you men who are addicted to pornography, let me say this – and this is going to be perhaps the hardest thing of all – you need to be accountable; to your wife if you are married and to other men. It's time for us to go beyond the shame and look for solutions. God's plan is to set men free from this addiction. It is the most stubborn of sins because it's hidden. Bring it out into the open and as much pain as it may cause in a marriage, that's the place where healing can begin. And if you are a wife, hurt you may be by this infidelity and adultery – because that's what it is - here's my counsel to you: forgive your husband and be part of the solution. Love him, hold him, and the Lord your God will use you as His instrument to heal this man whom He has entrusted to you. Love does hurt sometimes and this is one of those times, but the prize ... the prize is worth it, isn't it?   BE ON YOUR GUARD Now, finally on the programme today we will look at low self esteem. Low self esteem is a rampant disease in our society, particularly let me say, amongst women. And while the Bible has lots to say about pride, it appears to be almost silent on this thing that nowadays we refer to as 'low self esteem'. So what it is? Well, put simply, it's an unhelpfully low sense of self worth. "Aw, I'm no good, I can't do anything, I'm useless, I'm stupid, I'm worthless ... " all those statements are thoughts that constantly ... constantly plague people with low self esteem. And the impact of them is that the people who suffer from this unhelpfully low sense of self worth, struggle to have any meaningful relationships. They don't have any joy; they don't have any peace in their lives; they are touchy; their feelings are easily hurt – and it's like a prison, this low self esteem thing - for many it seems like a life-long sentence. Now, we would all agree that anyone who suffers from low self esteem is missing out on a full and healthy life. They are in a sense, missing the point of life, at least the point that God meant for them, which is a full and abundant and rich life. And if that's the case, then there is only one name for low self esteem: it's "sin". Now I don't mean to make things worse but "sin" as it is defined in the New Testament, literally means, "to miss the mark", or as we might say today, "to miss the whole point of life", and wandering around with this incredibly low sense of self worth, misses the whole point, doesn't it? We all know people with low self esteem – we know how debilitating it is – we can see how it robs them of rich and meaningful relationships. But how many of us would have thought of it as "sin"? Well, let's call it for what it is and there's a good reason for that, because whilst "sin" is all too common, it is not normal. Jesus came to set us free from sin and its effects. Not just that we might have forgiveness for sins past but that we would be free from them today and for all eternity. The problem with people who have low self esteem is that they don't, for one minute, imagine that their lives could be any different. They don't for a single minute believe that Jesus came to set them free from the pain and the anguish of their low self esteem. But what if ... what if He came to do exactly that? Would you want to be part of it? Maybe that's for you; maybe that's for someone who's close to you, well, I come to you today with some good news. It's great news! Jesus came to set us free from sin; every sin, including this sin – stubborn though it may be; persistent though it may be. As much as someone who suffers from low self esteem imagines they will never be free of it, Jesus came to set them free!! Here's how I know: without a shadow of a doubt, this is true. At the beginning of His public ministry, Jesus stood up in the synagogue to tell people about Himself and He chose to quote from the Old Testament prophet, Isaiah, using chapter 61. Let me read to you the opening few verses of Isaiah 61: The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has anointed me; he has sent me to bring good news to the oppressed, to bind up the broken hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and release to the prisoners; to proclaim the year of the Lord's favour, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all who mourn; to give them a garland instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, the mantle of praise instead of a faint spirit. They shall build up the ancient ruins, they shall raise up the former devastations; they shall repair the ruined cities, the devastations of many generations. Tell me ... tell me that those who are suffering from this debilitating sin of low self esteem, tell me they are not included in that – gladness instead of mourning, God's favour, comfort for all who mourn, binding up the broken hearted, liberty for the captives, release for the prisoners. The key ... the key to being free from low self esteem is simply to know this: that you and I, we are fearfully and wonderfully made – Psalm 139, verse 14 – handcrafted by God in His own image. See, most of us have spent so long, so very long staring at our reflections in this distorted mirror of the world that we've developed a distorted image of ourselves. We look at people who are more successful, more beautiful, more intelligent, more anything else you would care to name, more than us. We watch the ads on TV full of beautiful people, telling us we could be like them and no wonder people have low self esteem! But what if we are indeed fearfully and wonderfully handcrafted by God Himself, made in His image? What if when He looks at us His great and mighty heart aches for us? And here's a question ... this is THE question: what are we going to believe, the world's distortion or God's truth? Well, what are you going to believe? The problem is that someone with low self esteem may well be able to get a glimpse of that but the feelings of complete inadequacy crash over them day by day by day, minute by minute, swamping any budding confidence that they might have developed in God's truth. That's why, if you are someone who is struggling with low self esteem; if this is a stubborn sin that you just can't overcome in your life, I want to give you something today that I believe ... in fact, that I KNOW God will use it to heal you from the sin and its devastating effects. It's a short, simple passage of Scripture that even I can memorise. Here it is: Ephesians chapter 2, verse 10: For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus, to do good works that God prepared beforehand for us to do. If you're someone who's struggled all your life with low self esteem, I believe God is going to use His Word to help you overcome it, once and for all because every time your distorted image is reflected back at you, through the lives and the deceptions of this world, you can take this Scripture; this verse – say it to yourself, choose to believe God over the world - every time your feelings are hurt, every time you feel that gut wrenching pain of rejection and fear and anguish, take this verse, listen to God and believe Him instead of the world. Listen to God, memorise this Scripture! It's something you can do in just about ten minutes or so – own it, let God's Word do its work in you and I know that you will be set free from stubborn sin ... this stubborn sin of low self esteem. I know that anyone caught up in low self esteem believes that it's a life sentence – my friend, it is not! Jesus came, He died for you, He rose again for you. Our value is in what God says and not in what the world says. For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus, to do the good works that God prepared beforehand for us to do. My friend, that is the truth!!

In Matthew 15, Pastor Karl walks through two encounters that reveal how Jesus responds to very different kinds of people. The first is a confrontation with the Pharisees — religious leaders who had mastered looking clean on the outside while leaving their hearts completely untouched. Jesus exposes their hypocrisy and makes clear that the real issue is never what comes in from the outside, but what flows out from within.The second is a striking contrast: a Canaanite woman from Tyre and Sidon who comes to Jesus with nothing to offer — no credentials, no leverage, no religious standing. She simply cries out for mercy. When Jesus seems silent and even dismissive, she doesn't leave offended. She presses in, clings to grace, and receives what the Pharisees never could: a direct word of commendation from Jesus himself — "Great is your faith."God honors a transformed heart and exposes religious hypocrisy. And he blesses according to his grace — not our worthiness. This message is an invitation to stop trying to leverage God and start crying out for his mercy.Watch all our sermons on our youtube channel "Flipside Christian Church"Join us in person 8:00am, 9:30am & 11:00am every Sunday morning.37193 Ave 12 #3h, Madera, CA 93636For more visit us at flipside.churchFor more podcasts visit flipsidepodcasts.transistor.fm

Jackie kicks things off with a “storytime” moment about an unforgettable (and not in a great way) evangelism experience, and then they dive into the questions. How do you deal with insecurity as a man? Should you only date someone who is spiritually at the same pace as you? When we get to Heaven, will we recognize our loved ones? How can you be delivered from sexual immorality? Why doesn't Jackie talk more about her prophetic dreams?

The church at Corinth had many issues and the one Paul has been discussing in chapter 5 and now in chapter 6 is sexual immorality, in particular, a man was sleeping with his dad's wife better known as his stepmom. At the beginning of chapter 6, Paul discusses the church taking one another to court and suing one another which makes me think the dad has taken his son to court in order to get him separated from his wife. They way this chapter reads is many of the believers at Corinth were taking one another to court and Paul's response to them is, “What are you doing? You should be ashamed taking the stuff you can handle yourselves in a court where unbelievers will be making the decisions.” In other words, “You belong to Christ so what are you doing?”

Parents, today I want to remind you to warn your kids about some very real dangers they might face in today's smartphone and social media saturated world. Sexting is defined as the act of sending, receiving, or forwarding sexually explicit or suggestive photos, videos, or messages through their phones and digital devices. For our vulnerable and easily influenced kids, the dangers are real. Recent research on kids thirteen to seventeen found that one in three kids have received a sext, and one in four have sent one. In spite of our warnings, these numbers are up from 2019. The other related danger is sextortion, which occurs when someone is tricked into sending nude images or videos, and then the perpetrator threatens to share those images unless they are given some kind of payment. Researchers found that nearly half of those who had sent a sext were targeted with sextortion. Parents, warn your kids, and teach them that God has called them to flee from sexual immorality.

This sermon series will focus on the things in life that ensnare us into the slavery of sin.  We know the expression of how there are vices in life that can hold us captive and ruin our lives. There's also the imagery of being stuck in an actual vice with life being squeezed out of us.  The hope of this series is that we evaluate how to find freedom from the vices in our own lives.  We thrive in our walk with God when we fight back against the spiritual forces of darkness.

What did the apostles actually require of Gentile believers in Acts 15? This teaching examines the Apostolic Decree as an introduction to Torah, showing how the four prohibitions connect to holiness, idolatry, sexual morality, and the food laws.We also consider whether these commands were temporary or intended for all believers, and why Acts 15:21 matters so much for understanding the apostles' expectations.Scriptures: Acts 15:19-21; Acts 15:28-29; Acts 21:25; Leviticus 17:10-14; Leviticus 18:1-30; 1 Corinthians 10:18-22Takeaway: The Apostolic Decree was not a minimal end point, but a gracious starting point for Gentile believers turning to God. As believers hear Moses proclaimed, they are expected to grow in holiness and obedience.

Rev. Rufus Smith teaches on human sexuality with grace and truthfulness. The presenting issue is sexual immorality, but the primary issue is caring confrontation to redeem the offending party and protect the peace of the church. The word of God will offend someone, but it will also liberate someone.Stay connected with Hope Church Memphis:Website • HopeChurchMemphis.comInstagram • @Hope4MemphisTikTok • @Hope4MemphisFacebook • @Hope4MemphisPrayer • HopeChurchMemphis.com/PrayerGiving • HopeChurchMemphis.com/Give

The folks at Defend Young Minds have released some new data telling us that social media is now the most common way that kids are exposed to porn. Six out of ten minors now say they were exposed to porn by accident on social media. This is up from almost four out of ten in 2023. Thirteen is the average age of first exposure, with reports of first exposure even at six years old. And the four most common social media sources for exposure are X, Snapchat, Instagram, and TikTok. The report also states that even if your kids are not searching for sexual content, the algorithms will deliver it to them. Defend Young Minds tells us that the best way to protect your kids from pornography, predators, and other harmful content is to, in their words, delay, delay, and delay your kids access to social media. In addition, we need to teach our kids that pornography is a form of sexual immorality, which takes God's good design for sex, and destroys it through encouragement to sin.

Avoiding Sexual Immorality

Author Caryn Kilgore teaches on how open doors-such as generational sins and ties, immorality, addiction, and the occult and false religion-disrupt your life and give the adversary access to your heart and mind. Drawing on decades of biblical study, Caryn provides a practical guide to identifying and closing these spiritual doors.This transformative teaching on her book equips you with the actionable steps you need to break free from the bondages of sin, eliminate distractions, and accelerate your spiritual growth.Do you have any open doors? Take control of your spiritual journey-by blocking harmful paths-and step into peace by discovering true freedom in Jesus Christ

David Johnson discusses 1 Corinthians 16:8—“Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body.”

Pastor Kurt takes a deep dive into 1 Thessalonians 4:1–12, where Paul calls believers to please God by walking in ongoing holiness. But holiness is not merely avoidance of sin; it is the soil in which we practice love—refusing to harm a brother, abounding in brotherly affection, and living responsibly before others.

God's will for our lives is to abstain from sexual immorality. In order of us to be complete and mature in Christ, we must follow and obey God's Word in every area of our life.

Jim Osman continues his examination of false teachers in 2 Peter 2, focusing on their perversions and moral corruption. Opening with a sobering account of the Mike Bickle scandal and how charismatic leaders failed to discern his true character despite decades of abuse, Osman demonstrates why Peter's warnings remain urgent for today's church. He exposes three defining characteristics of false teachers: they are shameless in their debauchery, sensual in their unrestrained lust, and seductive in how they bait unstable souls. Osman explains how these teachers have eyes full of adultery and hearts trained in greed—applying the same discipline to their wickedness that athletes apply to their sport. He reveals how false teachers exploit people's desires for prosperity, sexual license, and spiritual pride to lure them into destructive heresies. The message includes a passionate call for believers to apply diligence in pursuing holiness and grounding themselves in truth, so they won't become easy marks for those who promise freedom while enslaving others in corruption. Osman shows that when false teachers fall into sexual scandal, it shouldn't surprise us—Peter warned us this is their nature and their consistent pattern throughout church history.  ★ Support this podcast ★

1 Corinthians 5 highlights both the seriousness of sexual immorality in our own lives and seriousness of sexual immorality in the church.  This passage provides guidelines for how a church is to deal with ongoing, habitual, unconfessed, public sin.  

In this episode of Uncommon Sense, I'm calling out a problem no one wants to confront: the normalization of partying, drinking, and casual sex especially among so-called “conservative influencers.”You cannot claim to defend Western Civilization while publicly celebrating the very behaviors that destroyed past civilizations. Conservatism without morality is just aesthetic rebellion.We don't need more clout, cocktails, or compromised values. We need a return to godliness, self-discipline, and moral responsibility because the future generations watching us will inherit whatever standard we tolerate today.If we want to save the West, we have to get serious about being truly Christian again.--https://www.bible.com/

In this powerful and deeply honest conversation, Pastor Matt joins the show to unpack some of the most challenging topics facing believers today — navigating suffering, understanding the “why” behind pain, and fighting the growing epidemic of sexual sin in the church. He shares the story of losing his daughter Sarah, how he processed grief without losing his faith, and why choosing peace over understanding is essential for spiritual maturity. Pastor Matt also delivers a masterclass on the fear of the Lord, spiritual authority, purity, neural pathways, and the unseen spiritual dynamics behind sexual temptation. This episode is a rare blend of raw vulnerability, theological depth, and extremely practical wisdom for anyone seeking freedom and a deeper relationship with God. This is one of the most important and transformative conversations we've ever had on the podcast.   Know more about Sathiya's work: Join Deep Clean Inner Circle - The Brotherhood You Neeed (+ get coached by Sathiya) For Less Than $2/day Submit Your Questions (Anonymously) To Be Answered On The Podcast Get A Free Copy of The Last Relapse, Your Blueprint For Recovery Watch Sathiya on Youtube For More Content Like This   Chapters: (00:00) Introduction & Pastor Matt's Background (04:00) The Cost of Leadership & Staying in Your Calling (06:00) Losing His Daughter & Processing Pain with God (08:00) Should We Ask God “Why”?
