0:00.0	Hello, hello there, good listener. You are listening to the Pure Desire podcast, and I'm your host Nick Stumbo. This is your biblically based and clinically informed approach to healing from betrayal and breaking free from compulsive sexual behavior.
0:19.9	Today is episode 375 and here joining me as my
0:23.3	guest co-host, Mr. Michael Maxwell, our operations guru here at Pure Desire. Mike, welcome to the
0:29.7	podcast. Thanks, Nick. I should say welcome back. You've been on before. Yeah, but not on this side of
0:34.5	the table. Yeah, you've usually been a guest and we've interviewed you on a number of topics that our listeners could find if they wanted to scroll back through the other episodes.
0:45.0	How many do you think you've been on?
0:46.9	Four or five?
0:47.7	Yeah, maybe somewhere around there, yeah.
0:49.8	Okay.
0:50.3	Over the years.
0:51.1	I think I get one a year.
0:53.0	That's our quota. That's all we could handle. Yeah. Well, today we did get a privileged to interview a guest, a real friend of the ministry, someone whose life has been impacted by it. Our listeners are going to get to meet Louis Casimir and just have a really, we had a really powerful conversation today with him about some of his trauma story.

1:28.9	case would be. My list of trauma songs is pretty small. So yeah, I think one of the good
1:35.9	outcomes of this episode is to acknowledge that we all have a trauma story. We all have pieces of
1:40.7	our past that are painful, messy, uniquely personal, and likely there's a piece
1:46.4	of it that we've wanted to avoid to some degree. And that's very much Louis' experience and what
1:51.8	he helps us unpack today. Just what did God do in his life to lead him into facing that? And
1:57.3	what are the beautiful outcomes that have happened as a result of it? Yeah. As you've said, I think everybody has a piece that they just want to hold back on.
2:04.7	And I can relate to that and I'm sure our listeners will too.
2:07.6	Yeah. Well, and you're here that you will hear that Louis story has a unique connection to one of our newest workbooks, the compassionate warrior.
2:15.7	So listen for that a little later in the episode, and we
