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.

Proverbs 18:2 describes the next form of pride we’re tackling–know-it-all pride. It says, “A fool does not delight in understanding, but only in revealing his own mind.” You don’t have to know everything to be a know-it-all—you just have to believe you have all the answers. This pride is easy to spot in others, but could we be displaying it without realizing it? We’ll explore why know-it-all pride is so appealing, whether anything good can come from it, and how it can become entangled with sexual sin.  Resources we mentioned: How to Minister to Christians in Sexual Sin (Seminar for Pastors and Counselors) i: The Root of Sin Exposed (Book) By Steve Gallagher  Have Any Questions for Us? 📧Email: podcast@purelifeministries.org
Today, we continue our discussion on pride by examining self-protective pride—a subtle but dangerous form of pride employed by those in sexual sin because of the shame they feel. When faced with vulnerability, do you default to building up a wall? Do you seek to preserve your image above all else? Biblical counselor Ryan Stempien joins us to expose how this pride takes root, why it's so destructive, and how Christians can overcome it.  Resources: How to Minister to Christians in Sexual Sin (Seminar for Pastors and Counselors)  Have Any Questions for Us? 📧Email: podcast@purelifeministries.org Â
