Porn, Shame, and the Journey to Real Healing (with Nick Stumbo)

Most Christian men wouldn’t call it an addiction. “It’s just something I struggle with…”
But what if that struggle is actually keeping you stuck?

In this episode, Nick Stumbo—Executive Director of Pure Desire Ministries—shares his powerful story of addiction, shame, and the deeper healing Jesus offers.

We talk about:

• Why confession isn’t the finish line

• The 3 questions that revealed Nick’s addiction

• What white-knuckling recovery really looks like

• How trauma, performance, and shame feed the cycle

This isn’t just about porn. It’s about what your soul is really craving.
