How To Get Back In The Battle For Your Own Sexual Purity

As a pastor and a professional counselor, there's something I've noticed over and over again in the lives of Christian men - so many men have given up in the battle for their own sexual purity.  

Sometimes men come to the place where they simply give up the fight.  They acquiesce... they surrender... they wave the white flag to the enemy... they give up... they give in... and they're no longer engaged in the fight for purity.  

Said another way, what these men have essentially done is given themselves over to their sexual sin and are no longer even trying to fight against it.  It's as if they've accepted this as a reality of their life that they cannot change, and as a result they've given up even trying to change.

In this episode - and the last - you'll discover 3 primary reasons Christian men often withdraw from this battle, and what it's going to take for a man to "get back in the battle" for his sexual purity.

One thing's for sure - if a man's going to be a man of purity, it's not going to happen on accident, and he's going to have to "get back in the battle".

In the beginning of this episode Tony talks about what it might look like for a small group of men of start a Power of Purity group.

In an odd story in the Old Testament, a man named Phinehas is zealous for God's honor when sexual immorality is rampant among the men of Israel.  In his zeal, Phinehas takes radical action while a man and woman are in the very act of sexual intercourse, and God blesses Phinehas as a result.  In much the same way, God is still looking for men who will be zealous for the Lord when it comes to the issue of sexual purity.  Could it be that you and I are called to be "Sons of Phinehas"?

Scriptures referenced include Isaiah 55:8-9 / Romans 12:2 / I Thessalonians 4:3-6 / Numbers 25:1-13

Tony Ingrassia is a man who has experienced an amazing metamorphosis from sexual addiction and bondage to sexual freedom and healing.  

Tony was a deeply broken man for many years whose sexual addiction manifested itself through - among other things - constant lust, compulsive masturbation, pornography, strip clubs, and adulterous affairs.  Although he became a Christian at the age of 16, Tony was essentially powerless to honor God with his sexual gift for years to come.  Whenever sexual temptation would come his way - which was frequently - he would almost always yield to the temptation, and act out sexually in ways that were often in violation of his very own conscience.  

Hear the amazing story of how the very powerful mercy, grace, and love of God was able to redeem the sexual brokenness of this deeply wounded man.  

Convinced that many good men struggle with their sexuality, it's Tony’s hope that his story will help other men find hope and healing as they seek to bring their sexual gift under the authority of Christ.  Tony's life is living proof that purity is possible!

He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.  Psalm 147:3

In this introductory episode you'll discover the answer to two important questions.  

First... Is God Crazy?  Is God Crazy for expecting us to be men of sexual purity while living in such a sexualized culture... surrounded by never-ending sexual temptation? 

Second... Then why the gap?  If God asks us to be men of sexual purity, then why is there such a "gap" for so many men between the sexual man they're called to be and the sexual man they actually are?  

This introductory episode of The Power of Purity Podcast will begin the journey that will empower men to close the "gap" as they accomplish three life changing goals...

1. Discovering how to experience their sexual gift in a healthier way.

2. Discovering how to control sex instead of being controlled by sex.

3. Discovering how to bring their sexual gift under the authority of Christ.

Welcome to the Power of Purity!
