The Power of Purity Podcast, Episode 140 - Tullian Tchividjian - Part 4

William Graham Tullian Tchividjian... as Billy Graham's grandson... was born into a family of "Christian Royalty".  But despite this fact... he dropped out of high school during a period of rebellion... and sank deeply into South Florida's "pleasure-saturated culture".  At the age of 21 he came to personal faith in Jesus and began to truly serve God for the first time in his life.

After earning an M.Div. degree at Reformed Theological Seminary... he was ordained by the Presbyterian Church in American (PCA)... founded his own successful and growing church near Ft. Lauderdale Florida (New City Presbyterian Church) and eventually merged with what had been one of the largest and most respected churches in America - Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church. 

At this time Tullian became a "celebrity pastor"... a sought after public speaker... and the author of numerous popular books including...

  • One Way Love

  • It Is Finished

  • Jesus + Nothing = Everything

  • Surprised By Grace

  • The Kingdom of God

  • Glorious Ruin – How Suffering Sets You Free

Then in 2015.. after serving as the Senior Pastor of Coral Ridge for seven years (2009 - 2015)... Tullian's life came crashing down after allegations emerged of an extramarital affair... the first of more than one to which he would admit.

As a result of these events... Tullian lost his wife... his marriage... his family... his church... his ministry... his job... his reputation... and in the darkest of days he despaired of life itself and literally contemplated suicide.

In a mystery... it was during these darkest and hardest days of his life that Tullian came to understand the graceand forgivenessof God in a deeper way than he had ever known before.

Be blessed and encouraged as you hear this amazing story... and realize that the same mercy that's rescuing this deeply broken man is also available to you and me!

Welcome to Tullian's story!

The Power of Purity Podcast, Episode 136 - 12 Things Every Wife Should Know About Her Husband When It Comes To Sex - Part 10

Imagine if there was a metaphorical couple... who somehow ended up married to one another... even though they were from completely different cultures... and spoke completely different languages.

No doubt this couple would have many challenges... because the way they look at things... think about things... and talk about things... would be radically different.

In a very real way... this is what it's like for many... if not most couples... when it comes to the subject of sex... because it's absolutely amazing how radically different men and women can be in the ways they think... feel... and talk about sex. 

It's this disparity that causes significant hurt... confusion... anger... misunderstanding... and disorientation for many couples.

In this important series Tony draws upon...

(1) His personal experience as a man for the past 60 years.

(2) His experience working with innumerable men... as a pastor... a professional counselor... and the Director of The Power of Purity. 

(3) And the wisdom of God's holy and immutable word...

... to help women gain strategic insights and understanding when it comes to men and sex.

The principles Tony shares through this series might be surprising to some... if not shocking... but they will give women unusual... if not unexpected... insights into the world of men and sex.

This is a BONUS EPISODE of The Power of Purity Podcast!

Elaine is a faithful listener of the POP Podcast... and she recently sent Tony a letter.

As she's listened to the present series of episodes...

12 Things Every Wife Should Know About Her Husband When It Comes To Sex...

Elaine said the following:

"To be perfectly honest, my stomach is in knots and I'm feeling quite triggered after your frank discussion."

In her letter Elaine shares her thoughts... feelings... and questions with Tony:

What does a woman do if she's had sex with her husband an average of 4 times a week, and he still goes out and cheats on her?

What does a woman do when she discovers her husband's "holy facade" is disingenuous because he's been living a lie for many years?

What does a woman do when her husband turns her down for sex because he says the foreplay she needs to get ready "isn't worth the effort to him"?

What does a woman do when her husband is seeking to perpetrate his sexual addiction upon her, often pressuring her for sex several times a day? 

What does a woman do when her husband is using sex in the attempt to fill the hole in his heart that only God can fill?

Elaine asks these... and other tough and heartfelt questions... 

and Tony does his best to speak to these different issues.

Welcome to... Elaine's Letter.
