Seeking God is vital to overcoming sexual sin, yet so often overlooked. Many Christians turn first to man’s wisdom, though the Bible’s answers have lasted thousands of years. God promises that when we seek Him, we will find Him. 🗺️
 
On this episode, we talk about how seeking God is key to finding victory, why seeking Him wholeheartedly is neither legalistic nor fanatical, and we share biblical principles you can apply to your life to help you seek the Lord in a way you’ve never done before. 🔑

In 2 Chronicles 7:14, God promises to hear, forgive, and heal His people when they humble themselves, pray, seek His face, and turn from their wicked ways. But what does it mean to seek God’s face, and why is it essential to freedom from sexual sin? 🔎
In this two-part interview, Pure Life Ministries founder and president Steve Gallagher carefully explores that question. Today, we begin with salvation—a subject whose implications are enormous. 🚨

Have you ever considered the power of seeking—not a passing thought, but a pursuit that consumes your attention, shapes your schedule, and drives you toward a goal? God created us with the capacity to seek, but that desire can lead us deeper into fellowship with Him or deeper into sin. 🔀
 
In this episode, we’ll explore why both God and the enemy place such value on what we pursue—and what happens when our hearts are aimed at the wrong things. 🚫

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. 🥊
