350 - Slippery Slopes
Though true healing and freedom from sexual addiction and brokenness is possible, it doesn’t mean the journey will be easy. The world we live in is still hyper-sexualized and full of things that can pull us away from health. On today’s episode, we talk about slippery slopes—areas or aspects of our lives that can be problematic in our sexual health. And there may be some that surprise you! We talk about what can be a slippery slope, how to be mindful of them, and what to do to ensure we don’t slide back down the hill of unhealth.

349 - PTSD & Betrayal
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is often associated with major trauma—wartime experiences, rape, and abuse. Studies increasingly show that PTSD is also experienced by betrayed partners. Rather than ignore or minimize it, let’s do something about it.

348 - 7 Lies That Will Ruin Your Life w/ Joshua Broome
For those who regularly listen to the show, we have a return guest. This guy has shared his story about the journey from porn star to a pastor.
Today, we’re excited to have Joshua Broome back on the show to talk about his new book, 7 Lies That Will Ruin Your Life. We talk through all seven lies, identifying how they impact sexual brokenness and disrupt our healing. We also discuss some initial steps we can take to combat these lies and reclaim God’s truth in our lives. -
347 - Living UnDEFILED w/ Matt McCaulley & Kevin Whisman
We know sex trafficking exists in our world and is a growing problem. But it’s not something that’s talked about in many faith communities.
On today’s episode, we’re going to talk about it! We’re thrilled to have Matt McCaulley and Kevin Whisman on the show: two guys who have spent the last few years writing, directing, and producing a full-length feature film called unDEFILED. We’ll talk about Pure Desire’s involvement in creating a follow-up study to the film and how sex trafficking is connected to sexual brokenness. -
346 - Myth Busters: Marriage Will Fix It
“Just wait until I get married, then it will all get better.” These words have either been said or thought by many of us in the church. We assume being married and having sex with our spouse will rid us of our sexual brokenness or compulsive behaviors. Unfortunately, this is a myth.
On today’s episode, our Clinical Director, Tyler Chinchen, joins us to talk through why this myth exists, the damage it creates, and how to work against it. -
345 - In Sickness & In Health
When addiction, brokenness, and betrayal enter a marriage, it can significantly impact a couple’s sexual relationship. Unfortunately, sexual brokenness and betrayal are not the only things that can hijack a couple’s sex life.
On today’s episode, we’re joined by Brent and Nicole Breining, who are part of the Pure Desire family. Brent, a clinician for Pure Desire, and his wife, Nicole, share how some major life events limited their sexual relationship. They talk through how to stay committed and connected, specifically in the area of sex, in sickness and in health.
Customer Reviews
Long time listener
In sickness and health was one of the open and frank discussions I’ve heard about those struggling in the bedroom with health related issues and provided practical applications ideas to help resolve them. Glad I listened to this one.
Big part of my recovery
I am thankful for the time and thoughtful effort that is put into each podcast. The information I am learning has helped me have a better understanding of my self and my relationship to my wife.
Best thing to support my healing!!
Trevor, Nick, and the gang are incredible. Silence in the church is a tool of the enemy and I am happy that they are talking about all of these issues. Every episode has guided me and helped me in my journey through conquer and 7 pillars. I am now a group leader and can share episode numbers that match the curriculum for the week. Great job PD. Love you all and I love hangin with you all through my day.
