Our world is saturated with avenues to lust. The prevalence of pornography usage and sex addiction are major problems for men and women both inside and outside the church. Is there a way out?

In this episode, Pastors Philip and Eric discuss how we can be freed from the constant struggle of lust. Have you ever felt trapped in an endless cycle of sin that you cannot break? When we lust, we’re trying to meet deep spiritual needs for security, significance, and satisfaction. The righteousness that God requires in this area is something that we cannot manufacture on our own. We need a new heart through the gospel message, which is that Jesus is our righteousness and the only one who can produce true heart transformation. So how do we get there?

There are 5 steps along the path to cultivating a heart of purity:

1. Grieve it
2. Get distance from it
3. Confess it
4. Get underneath it
5. Replace it
