Summary
“How can a young person stay on the path of purity? By living according to your word” (Psalm 119:9 NIV).
This week we’re praying that our kids are marked by purity in their lives.
The idea of raising pure kids in an impure culture can feel like an impossibly tall order as parents. We sometimes mistakenly make purity a goal our kids must achieve, staying away from certain things or even keeping on a prescribed path until the finish line of marriage.
But purity is not an accomplishment—it’s a relationship, as Dan Martin of Pure Hope Ministries shares with us on today’s podcast.
It’s a relationship with Jesus, who comes to redeem us from the sin of this world and purify us to himself (Titus 2:14). He cleanses us and makes us new creations. He gives hope that is everlasting and brings healing when we fall short.
Join me in praying for our kids to have purity in their physical relationships, in the way they dress, in the motivation behind their actions, in their pursuit of Jesus, and in the music and media that fill their minds.
Let’s also pray that when they fall short, they know that the Lord stands ready to forgive them and give them a new beginning.

| 0:03.5 | Hey guys, this is Cynthia with us this week as we are praying for our kids. |
| 0:19.7 | This week we're praying they are marked by purity. |
| 0:21.6 | Psalm 119 is the word we had in the prayer journal. |
| 0:24.6 | The first we had, it says, how can a young person stay on the path of purity by living |
| 0:29.6 | according to your word? |
| 0:30.6 | And so as I do from time to time, I've brought in someone else that I think is probably, |
| 0:35.6 | not probably, 100% better equipped to speak |
| 0:38.7 | into this topic than I am. And I love Pure Hope. You've heard Noel Boucher before speaking on our |
| 0:44.8 | podcast about their ministry and how they speak into purity. And today we have Dan Martin with us and he |
| 0:50.2 | is the ministry director. And I'm just thrilled for a chance to chat with him. |
| 0:54.4 | And he is going to guide us in talking through the topic and also how to pray it for our kids. |
| 0:58.7 | And so welcome, Dan. |
| 1:00.2 | Thank you. |
| 1:00.9 | I'm so glad to be on and appreciate you inviting us. |
| 1:04.5 | Well, I love what y'all do. |
| 1:06.3 | And so I think that Pure Hope has really changed the way that I look at purity, having grown up, |
| 1:12.6 | and I've talked to Noel in your ministry a lot about this, but having grown up in a Christian |
| 1:16.2 | home and heard a certain narrative my whole life about what it looks like in purity and sex |
| 1:22.9 | before marriage and all of which is biblical truth, but also from a pretty dogmatic stance on purity. And I love |
| 1:29.6 | how y'all speak into it, still God's truth, which is never changing, but that it helps us |
| 1:34.7 | process it as parents. And so I would just, I'm going to throw it out this way. When we talk purity, |
