When we consider the foundational truths that we are His, our hope is certain, and our calling is to follow faithfully day by day—we can recenter and approach whatever is in front of us with courage and steadfast resolve.

Often we want to leave ministry up to the “professionals” for whom discipleship is a literal job description. But the fact is we’ve all been called to make disciples, and the pursuit of purity is a community endeavor.

Whether the primary issue in your community is polygamy or pornography, all of our sexual issues share the same root: our sin nature. We were all conceived in iniquity as the psalmist says. The good news is we also share the same hope: Jesus is our Pure Hope. In this episode we’re joined by our friend and ministry partner Pastor Elias Apetogbo, from Togo, West Africa.

In this episode we are considering the links between justice and righteousness and how to live out these virtues right where we are. Our friend, Jessica Mannon, reminds us there are no specialists when it comes to doing justice. Pursuing a world free of sexual exploitation and brokenness will require all of us.

In our last episode we considered how men can follow Jesus and imitate His strength to make a difference in their relationships and communities. Monica Zuniga of We Are Unveiled joins us on this episode to consider the powerful ways women can shape the world around them.
