In today’s episode, we discuss the topic of porn addiction with Nick Stumbo, a former pastor and the Executive Director of Pure Desire. Nick, a third-generation pastor, began his ministry work at the East Hills Alliance Church in Kelso, Washington. He served here as head pastor for more than 10 years. During this time, Nick closely observed the sexual brokenness and devastation in the congregation – and recognized like never before the power of grace in the Church…

Nick has his own story involving pornography addiction. Through the resources provided at Pure Desire, he and his wife, Michelle, found hope and healing through counseling and group ministries. This radically changed their lives, leading to a revival of forgiveness and healing. Later, Nick launched his own Pure Desire groups for men and women, staying connected with their ministry all along the way. He also authored two books, Setting Us Free and Safe.
