Emotional Training for Men 1.1

Co-host: Stephen Cervantes (HopeCounseling.com)

After 15 years in ministry to sexually broken men we have learned this: every man needs emotional training. Too many assume that simply eliminating destructive and sinful behaviors will automatically produce an emotionally mature man. But it isn't that simple. Emotional and spiritual maturity takes work -- and time. This is a continuing conversation about the importance of emotional training for men and how to take your next step in that direction.

The Journey to Forgiveness

Special Guest: Lynn Cherry (LynnMarieCherry.com)

What does the journey to forgiveness look like for a wife who has faced sexual betrayal from her husband? This is not something for a wife to take lightly. Nor can a wife ignore forgiveness and expect to be truly personally healthy. This is why we have Lynn Cherry on the program today. She is a woman who has traveled this road personally and has such deep and gracious wisdom to offer other wives who are walking this same path.

Mark & Beth's Story

Special Guests: Mark & Beth Denison (TheresStillHope.org)

Mark was a pastor -- and a sex addict. He tried to "manage" his addiction while growing a ministry. But it didn't work. It all fell apart. This is the story of Mark and his wife Beth and the journey they went through to discover restoration and the joy of "living in the light" of truth and grace. May you be encouraged and inspired to live a life of greater integrity.

Let's Pray!

Co-host: Stephen Cervantes (HopeCounseling.com)

This episode will provide a model for prayer that we hope encourages listeners to point their hearts and minds heavenward. Send us your reflections on prayer on our Twitter feed @puresexradio.

Parenting for Purity 1.1

What might happen if we learned to talk with our kids about sexuality and their feelings rather than just trying to prevent or stop dangerous or damaging sexual behaviors? Our guest on this episode is John Fort, our Director of Training. He is the creator of the soon-to-launch Parenting for Purity online course. Discover why the relational approach is far more effective than the control approach.

Grace and The 12 Steps

Special Guest: David Zailer

Many Christians have a negative view toward 12-step programs because they think it is only a rigid system of behavior modification. But could there be room for grace in the 12-step process? David Zailer of Operation Integrity is with us on this episode to share his experience and insights on this issue.

My 2nd Awakening (Part 2)

Co-host: Stephen Cervantes (HopeCounseling.com)

Last year (2017) we aired a 2-part broadcast on The Moment of Awakening (Nov 25 & Dec 2). This was one man's story of awakening and the insights he gained. This episode is the last of another 2-part series on this same man's second awakening -- with more, deeper insights. We hope this gives you a flavor of what the journey of a life of integrity can look like, and inspires you to keep pressing on...
