Purity is possible... with The Power of Purity!

Apr 11, 2023

In this new series talks about the importance of "brain management".

Sometimes it's hard enough to fight the battle when the enemy is on the outside of me, but what do I do when the enemy seems like he's on the inside of me, because sometimes it feels like the enemy is me!

My own thoughts and my own emotions sometimes gang up on me and conspire against me in a very powerful way, and it's at these times I need a self-awarness to fight agaisnt my very own thoughts and emotions in the attempt to manage what's going on between my ears on the inside of me.

Brain management!

In this series Tony identifies and shares common "lies" that often hold power over men in their struggle with sexual purity.

Examples:

"I can't resist temptation." (That's a lie because you can resist temptation.)

"My sexual sin is my wife's fault."  (That's a lie because you're responsbile for your own choices and actions.)

"Lots of men look at porn so it's no big deal if I look at porn."  (That's a lie because what other people do does not give you the right to do the same thing.)

It's incredibly important that we have the ability to identify the lies, because if we beleive a lie, it becomes our truth, because we're believing it's true, even thought it's a lie, and the lie therefore assuems a positon of power and authority in our life, and we then begin to act and make decisions based upon the lie.

To be the men of purity God is calling us to be we need "brain management".

We need the abiltiy to take rebel and mutiny thoughts captive and make them obedient to Christ.

We need to renew our minds so we can approve the good, pleasing and perfect will of God.

We need to gird out loins with the truth and figth the lies with the sword of the Spirit.

Welcome to "Brain Management", and be BLESSED in Jesus' Name!

On July 6th, 2021 Tony's wife left him, and she filed for divorce 28 days later.  

Since then it's been 18 months at the time this episode series is being posted, and it absolutely has been the most difficult time of Tony's life.

Nothing else is even close.

It's been the deepest and darkest valley of his life, and it's been the greatest loss of his life.

After 18 long months, in this series Tony reflects upon 12 lessons he's been learning during this difficult time in his life.

Tony has learned that there are at least 2 different kinds of pain in this world.

One is what Tony calls "stupid pain" and the other is what Tony calls "redemptive pain".

One is pain that is wasted and the other is pain that accomplishes somethihg of significance and value.

One is useless pain and the other is pain with a purpose.

It's kind of like when you have to have surgery, because in a very odd way the doctor is going to help you by "hurting" you even more.  He's going to cut you open, and in a very real way perpetrate even more pain upon your situation and life.  You're going to have to get stiches, and you're going to have to go through recovery and physical therapy.  But at least it's "pain with a purpose".  It's pain that's accomplishing something in your life.  It's "redemptive pain".

As Tony considers the very difficult and painful situation he's been living through, in this series he comtemplates the lessons that he's learning.

These lessons are much deeper than lessons of the "head" because they're lessons of the "heart".

In this sixth episode of the series Tony shares lessons 10, 11 & 12!

"I pray this series will encourage you and help you with the painful things you're facing in your life at this time".  Tony

NOTE - At the end of this episode Tony shares a special prayer over you:  A Prayer Over My Sexual History & Physical Body.

Dr. Carol Tanksley was a recent guest on The Power of Purity Podcast (episodes 336 - 338).  Tony had prepared a list of really good questions for that interview, but Tony and Dr. Carol never got around to any of those questions.  In view of that, Dr. Carol has come back for this series of episodes (episode 340 - 343) to answer those questions.  If you could ask Dr. Carol any question you could, what would you ask her?  Here are just a few of the questions that Tony and Dr. Carol will discuss during this series:

What does a couple do if one person wants sex more thant the other person?

What do you do if your spouse doesn't want to have sex with you?

What if one person wants to experiment with some things in their sex life, but the other partner is uncomfortable with what their partner is interested in trying?

What's the difference between being willing to stretch your comfort zone sexually versus participating in something that would constitute a violation of your conscience or personhood?

Is masturbation a sin if you do not have sexual access to your spouse in the context of your marriage?

These are just a few of the many questions that Tony and Dr. Carol discuss during this series of episodes.  

Dr. Carol Tanksley is an author, speaker, personal coach, licensed OB-Gyn physician, and an ordained Doctor of Ministry.

She practiced medicine as an OB-Gyn physician and Reproductive Endocrinologist for over 29 years. While continuing to practice medicine, she also obtained an M.Div. (Master of Divinity), and then a D.Min. (Doctor of Ministry) from Oral Roberts University, focusing on Christian leadership. With her husband Al, Dr. Carol produced a regular radio program “The Dr Carol Show” from 2009 until not long before his death in 2016.

Dr. Carol lives near Austin, Texas, where she enjoys being Grandma Carol to four wonderful grandchildren.

Be blessed as you listen to this special interview with Dr. Carol Tanksley!

Podcast 339 – The Car Episode

What in the world does "The Car Episode" have to do with sexual purity?

In this episode Tony does something he’s never done before.  He records an episode of the podcast as he’s driving down the highway in his car.  The episode was spontaneously inspired after a text conversation with another person, of all things, concerning the topic of weight loss.  In this episode Tony share 3 strategic factors that have worked together to help him loose 35 pounds and to get in better shape than he’s been in for years.  Those 3 factors concern:

  • Diet
  • Exercise
  • Writing psalms

You might immediately think the first 2 factors make total sense.  If a person begins to watch their diet and exercise, it will help them to loose weight and to get in better shape.  But how in the world does writing psalms have anything to do with loosing weight and getting in better shape?  If you’re interested in this idea, or at least curious, you’re welcome to listen to this episode of The Power of Purity Podcast.

What in the world does "The Car Episode" have to do with sexual purity?

Listen to this episode and find out!

28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.  Matthew 11:28-30 (KJV)

In this amazing interview with Dr. Carol Tanksley, Tony had prepared 24 various interview questions to discuss with Dr. Carol.  From the very beginning of the interview the discussion took on a life of its own, and by the end of the interview Tony had not asked Dr. Carol even one of the questions he had prepared.

In ths series of episodes Tony interviews author George Carneal on a wide range of various topics related to sexuality.

George Carneal, author of “From Queer to Christ," grew up in the ’70s, raised by a Southern Baptist minister in the ultra-conservative Bible Belt.  For years he struggled with his Christian faith and a same-sex attraction.  George shares his painful journey through a secular world at odds with homosexuality, in addition to a religious world that is hostile to homosexuals.  Perhaps sharing his journey through the eyes, and mind, of a confused child dealing with a same-sex attraction will give some insight into the pain and difficulty of navigating these two worlds. 

George would eventually spend 25 years immersed in the homosexual lifestyle (mostly in the Los Angeles club scene) and shares the pitfalls of that life.  His story is not about glamorizing a life he once lived.  This is merely his journey and what he learned along the way.  Deliverance from that bondage is possible.  There is hope in Christ!

George is a frequent speaker at churches, and conferences and has worked with pastors who are struggling with how to address the LGBT issue, with pastors and parents who are seeking guidance on how to help their LGBT children, as well as LGBT individuals who want out of that life.

George has also appeared on many different radio, podcast, and television broadcasts including The Christian Television Network, D. James Kennedy Ministries/Truths That Transform, and The Christian Broadcasting Network – CBN.

Tony interviewed George Carneal previously in episodes 212 - 215 of The Power of Purity Podcast.

Renee has been married to her husband for over 30 years.

Seven years ago she discovered that her husband was involved in an affair with another woman.

Her heart was completely broken and it led to the most painful period of her life.

In this very honest and vulnerable interview Renee shares her story with us.

She shares her journey through the pain, and hurt, and confusion that unfolded, the lessons she's learned along the way, and how her situation brought her closer to God than she's ever been before.

This interview provides a unique glimpse into the heart of "Eve", and helps men to understand what it's like for a woman when she learns of her husband's sexual unfaithfulness.

In additon, it's a beautiful story that illustrates the healing and redemptive power of God, even in the most difficult circumstances and situations of our lives.

Can we trust in God no matter what happens in our lives?

Is God still good, even in the midst of our pain?

Listen to Renee's story for the answers to these questions, and much more!
