The Truth about Keith Mosher
My name is Keith Mosher and I am the President of Pure Minds Ministries. On May 10, 2022 the FBI executed a search warrant on my home and workplace. Back in October of 2021, I downloaded multiple image and video files from a file sharing app that contained child pornography. On the same day of the raid I gave the FBI a full confession and over the next several months they finalized their investigation.
​
This culminated in a Grand Jury Indictment on two counts of possession and distribution of a visual presentation depicting sexual conduct of a child, legally known as CSAM (Child Sexual Abuse Material). In November of 2022 a warrant was issued for my arrest, although no arrest was made and no warrant was executed.
I was completely unaware of the warrant until January 21, 2023 when I was pulled over for a traffic violation. When the officer returned to my car, he asked me to exit my vehicle and placed me under arrest. I was transported to the Clark County Detention Center where I spent the next 15 days. After posting bond, I was released to House Arrest for the next seven months, then on July 11, 2023 I pled Guilty to one count of possession of child pornography and was sentenced to three years. If convicted on the original charges I faced up to twenty years in federal prison. My plea deal reduced the charges and allowed me to serve my sentence on probation.

How Can You be A Christian?
For the first 35 years of my life I was agnostic and then more atheist, and it wasn't until 2006 that I met Jesus Christ and believed in the resurrection. The reason I put this in such strange terms, is I have often questioned my salvation, countless times in fact, as I have been addicted to pornography from a very young age.
​​
As I began my "new life" as a Christian I saw some changes here and there, changes in my attitude towards sin as an example. Make no mistake I would still watch porn and masturbate, only now I would feel guilty afterwards. But watching porn for that long made me into a man I never wanted to be, constantly overrun by lustful deviant thoughts. I also developed a high level of skill in lying and deceiving people, hiding who I truly was.
​
Over my years as a Christian I was very active in church, leading men's groups (then going home to watch porn) and even leading a security team at one time. No one knew my dark secret, and as the years went by, I found myself watching more deviant forms of porn. It is to my great shame to tell you I have seen just about every form of deviant sexual pornography the human mind has conceived. Even worse, I have probably masturbated to it.
​
It wasn't until I was arrested and went to jail that I finally experienced the "fear of God." I don't mean fear of the jail or fear of the inmates, I mean I was sitting alone with a Bible in jail, thinking about all the ways I let my sin destroy my life, when I felt a powerful force over me. The only way I can describe it, is it felt like the invisible hand of God hovering over me. My teeth were chattering like I was caught in a winter storm. In that moment I knew God could destroy me completely and send me to Hell. I also knew I deserved every minute of time there. But that wasn't what struck me, it was His mercy that struck me. He held back his mighty hand, because he still had an assignment for me.
​
How can I be a Christian? Only by His mercy and grace.
The Calling
After my conviction I lost my job of 20 years at the post office and had a lot of time to sit around and contemplate things. During this time I was filled with doubts and apprehensions about the future and was resigned to the idea of hiding out in my house for the rest of my life, avoiding society as much as possible.
Then something happened.
I started getting these feelings that I should share my story with the world. Not in some vague way, but all of the details of my charges. In society today, with the socially promoted hatred of pedophilia it seemed like the scariest thing in the world. Could I really tell people? Why should I tell people? More thoughts came to my head: I need to help other men who struggle in this area. Maybe it's not too late to help them before they cross a line that could destroy their lives.
​
At this point I began sharing the details of my charges in different men's groups and recovery groups, and each time I shared, someone approached me after and thanked me for my openness. This was when Pure Minds Ministries became my assignment.
