Pure Desire Podcast

This has really helped me in my journey of healing from betrayal trauma, along with my Betrayal and Beyond group and curriculum!

Christians should approach this material with caution. While it whole heartedly rejects sexual idolatry, it validates and affirms a therapeutic syncretism with “my body-my choice” self idolatry. Using “trauma” language to justify unforgiveness, masking and blame-shifting sin as “triggers” and setting up a perpetual victim-offender dynamic. I hope the resources do actually help people stuck in compulsive sexual sin to find freedom, but from a marriage standpoint the control dynamic they are creating with the unchecked victim validation they advocate is not biblical at all, and they really try to present it as the “only loving way to live.” Hopefully someday they will find balance and not simply jump into the ditch on the other side of the road.

I love this podcast because over the years, I’ve learned I can trust the biblical foundation and, at the same time, get authentic, concrete help with my recovery journey.

This podcast has become my lifeline and most frequently shared with others. It is a tool my husband and I use for our ongoing health, and was absolutely critical in the most challenging days of our healing and recovery from sexual addiction and betrayal trauma. Thank you, pure, desire ministries!
