    Today, we sit down with Nick Stumbo, a former pastor and the Executive Director of Pure Desire, to dive into a complex subject: pornography addiction. With sexually explicit material more accessible than ever, men and women across the world find themselves impacted by ongoing exposure to it. How does pornography influence our culture as a whole?

This radical change not only led to his personal healing but also sparked a revival of forgiveness and healing among his loved ones.
