Summary

We talk about the theology of addiction. We discuss the biblically-based and clinically-informed approach that Pure Desire's takes on healing from sexual addiction. We identify where addiction is in the Bible, why "loving Jesus more" isn't the solution, and why confession isn't enough for true healing. We also talk through why identifying trauma and triggers are necessary for lasting freedom.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Pure Desire podcast, where we partner with you to bring hope and freedom on your journey to purity.
0:10.0	Before we start the podcast today, we wanted to let you know about our new resource for men, the Stories for Men book study.
0:17.0	Finding sexual integrity is possible, and going through this six-week study will show you the path to lasting freedom from addiction.
0:24.5	By studying 20 stories of men who've experienced the destruction that sexual addiction can bring,
0:29.3	you'll begin to see the power of both sharing your story and being a part of a community who fully knows you and fully loves you.
0:36.6	To start on the path for sexual integrity,
0:38.8	visit puredesire.org. Enjoy the podcast. Hey there, I'm your host Trevor Windsor, and we're so
0:45.4	thankful you're taking time out of your day to hang out with us. I'm here as always with my co-host,
0:49.1	Nick Stumbo. Making it great. And Nick today will be functioning as more of a guest. So he's going to be

1:00.2	Welcome back, Rodney. Thank you. Glad to be here with you guys. And by secondary, I don't mean
1:04.7	as a matter of importance. I just mean you are our second guest on the podcast. So we're glad
1:09.8	to have you. So in this episode today,
1:12.2	we want to address some of the most common questions and even objections that we get when it
1:16.7	comes to our approach to healing. So pure desire's approach to healing from sexual addiction and
1:21.1	sexual brokenness. So we know that this ministry, and we don't claim it ever to be perfect. We're not,
1:26.6	and we know it would be impossible
1:27.7	to get everyone to agree on everything. But we hope that really our conversation today can shed
1:32.8	some light on a few of these difficult questions. We also recognize that a 30 to 40 minute podcast
1:37.9	isn't going to answer every question. And so we really just hope that through our conversation,
1:42.9	it would just get the conversation started
1:45.7	about theology and addiction.
