Why Does God Allow Testing?
Nobody enjoys difficulty. Scripture points to two deep, connected reasons behind the hardest seasons of faith: brokenness and dependence.
Your Mission, Should You Choose to Accept It
Every Christian has a personal, specific piece of ground God has assigned them to take. Here’s what’s standing between you and it — and why that’s not disqualifying.
Your Pre-Flight Checklist for Purity
A WWII bomber almost never got off the ground — until one simple invention saved thousands of lives. What the B-17's pre-flight checklist can teach us about staying accountable.
What Does the Pureheart Process Actually Look Like?
If you’re considering counseling with Pureheart, here’s what the actual process looks like — three phases, each building on the last.
God's Ten Tests: Which One Are You In Right Now?
Scripture describes recurring categories of testing every believer faces. See if you recognize the season you’re in right now.
You Weren't Built to Do This Alone
Alone Scripture describes the church as a body, where every part depends on the others to function. What does that mean for someone fighting addiction in isolation?
You Are Not the Only One Fighting This
If you’ve spent years hiding a struggle with sexual sin, you’ve probably reached a quiet, painful conclusion: I must be the only real Christian dealing with this. You’re not.
The Great Persecution and The Great Perversion: Two Faces of the Same War
Scripture doesn’t describe the church’s final chapter as a quiet fade-out — it describes it as a war, fought differently depending on where you live.
Are You a Medicator or a Compensator?
Not all addiction starts from the same place. Knowing which type describes you can change how you approach breaking free for good.
What Adam and Eve Teach Us About the Anatomy of Denial
Genesis records humanity’s first sin — and its first cover-up. The pattern Adam and Eve set in the garden is still playing out in addiction today.
Why We Call It "Sexual Heroin"
Sexual sin is instantly available, deeply hidden, and dangerously progressive — a combination that makes it more addictive than most people realize.
Breaking the Acting-Out Cycle
Addiction isn’t just painful — it’s repetitive. Here’s why the same cycle keeps looping, and what it actually takes to finally break out of it.
Why Accountability Is the Most Neglected Spiritual Discipline
Prayer, fasting, and Scripture reading get taught constantly. Accountability, one of the clearest commands in the New Testament, almost never does. Here’s why that gap matters.
Private Pervert vs. Captain Clean: Which One Are You?
Every man caught in sexual sin eventually meets two characters: the one hiding in secrecy, and the one who’s found freedom through honesty. Which one are you right now?
Welcome to Stage 1: Operation Purity
Every man and woman fighting for purity starts here. An introduction to the foundational training behind everything in this series — from destroying denial to breaking the acting-out cycle.
From Prisoner of War to Combat Veteran
I conclude with tips for transforming yourself from a hapless POW to Christian warrior known and feared by demons. Remember what the demon said to the sons of Sceva (Acts 19:15): Jesus I know, and I know about Paul, but who are you? Does the devil know and fear your name?
And before you get all modest, fearful, and/or hopeless, remember how screwed up, addicted, and demonized I used to be. If I have a Wanted poster in hell with my face on it, then any Christian can get one! It definitely takes courage, but it isn’t rocket science.
Here are some tips to get you started. But expect much more ammo for the fight in later chapters.
Satan’s Methods: Footholds
A foothold is not a mindset; it’s a “lifeset,” an entrenched way of life, a behavioral pattern, a repetitive habit that over time opens the door for the literal presence of demons.
Satan’s Methods: Heartholds
A hearthold is all about your passions and your dreams, the secrets of your heart, the things you think about when you fall asleep at night. Maybe it’s a 1964 Ford Mustang, maybe it’s your fantasy football team, maybe it’s the business you want to start, or that novel you always meant to write. Perhaps it’s a co-worker? She’s looking mighty fine, whereas your wife can’t seem to shed those 30 pounds after having your last kid. Demons love to stoke the fires of old flames, reminding you constantly of just how good and pleasing and desirable achieving a particular fantasy would be.
Satan’s Methods: Strongholds
Like Adam and Eve, if demons can get you to swallow a lie (You’ll will never be free…), then they are well on their way to winning the war. Specifically, demons will attempt to control your mind by filling it with Strongholds. A stronghold is a mindset, an entrenched mental pattern of thought, a habitual attitude, a set of beliefs, a paradigm that always has at its core a lie or multiple lies of Satan.
Satan’s Tactics
How Does Satan Neutralize Christians?3 Primary Means: Demons, the World, Carnal Christians. As a memory aide, picture the devil’s 3-pronged pitchfork. The primary satanic means of taking out Christians is via Demons, the World System, and Carnal Christians.
