Why do we keep talking about emotional growth on a program titled Pure Sex Radio? What's the connection between sexual brokenness and our emotional system? This episode highlights what the pillars of emotional growth are and how you can apply them to your life.

We live in a world that is increasingly ungrateful. Being offended has become a national pasttime. But by God's grace we have much to be thankful for -- in spite of our brokenness! But how do you say 'Thank You' to God? Find out in this sermon Jonathan preached at Packsaddle Fellowship. 

How can a couple who has experienced sexual betrayal rebuild healthy sexuality? Can such restoration even take place? In this episode, we invite back MJ Denis, a professional counselor with lots of experience in this field, to help us understand healthy sexuality and how to restore it when it has been violated.

No human can go through life without being wounded. These hurts, if left unforgiven, will rot one's soul with bitterness and anger. But how do you actually forgive those who hurt you, whether they did so intentionally or unintentionally? This episode gives you a model prayer that outlines 7 steps to help you forgive your offenders -- and in so doing experience deep freedom and peace. 

Is there hope for transformation and purpose when your life has been devastated by secret sexual sin? In this episode we have Matt Galbraith with us to share his story of how God brought him from a place of deep despair and brokenness to a place of hope and a purpose to help other men find freedom. If you are struggling with despair, fear, or shame, this broadcast will encourage you to not give up -- you are worth recovery!
