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? How can we break free from this cycle of addiction? Join us now to see for yourself…  Nick was a third-generation pastor who began his ministry work at the East Hills Alliance Church in Kelso, Washington, where he served as head pastor for more than 10 years. During this time, Nick closely observed the sexual brokenness and devastation in the congregation. Instead of meeting this with judgment, he recognized the need for grace in the Church like never before. Nick found hope and healing on his own journey with pornography addiction through the transformative resources provided at Pure Desire. This radical change not only led to his personal healing but also sparked a revival of forgiveness and healing among his loved ones. Later, Nick launched his own Pure Desire groups for men and women – staying connected to Christ's path all along the way. He also authored two books, Setting Us Free and Safe. Click play to discover:  Why male and female porn consumption is so different.  The elements that make pornography so addictive.   How Pure Desire is leading the charge toward healing and sustainable change.

Do you ever feel strong urges to view pornography, tied to specific patterns, times, or emotions? I call this "over-desire" - and it's something many people struggle with. But here's the good news: just like the scientist Pavlov trained his dogs to stop salivating at the sound of a bell, we can train our brains to overcome these compulsions too.   I explain the science behind over-desire and share real-life examples of how people have successfully reconditioned their brains. I also share the importance of understanding the difference between over-desire and an addiction, and introduce the concept of mindfulness as a key tool in the process of building a healthier relationship with your sexuality.    Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://centerforovercoming.com/post/over-desire   If you're ready to do this work and start practicing unconditional commitment towards quitting your porn habit, sign up to work with me: https://www.sarabrewer.com/workwithme

In this episode, Hunter shares the story of exposure to pornography and it becoming and unwanted behavior. Over time, he became more open, honest, and public about the struggles he had experienced and found that to be an important part of the process of letting it go. He also shares the impact of shame, which only worsened the behaviors, and learned to let go of shame and let go of perfectionism to create a healthier relationship with himself and others. He talks about reframing porn in a way that lessened its appeal, and how changing his perspective on it has helped him to decrease the desire to view and seek deeper, authentic connection. Connect with and follow Hunter on instagram:https://www.instagram.com/_hunter.clark/

Something you may have been told before about your unwanted porn use is that you don't have a moral compass and that you lack self-control. This simply not true. The reason you view porn isn't weakness or a lack of righteousness, so listen in to learn the real reason behind unwanted pornography use.   Tune in this week as I try something new on the podcast. I conducted a live stream, inviting listener questions, talking directly to listeners just like you. I dive deep into the real reason behind your unwanted pornography use, and I give you the foundations for making real progress toward quitting porn.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://centerforovercoming.com/post/its-not-weakness   If you're ready to do this work and start practicing unconditional commitment towards quitting your porn habit, sign up to work with me: https://www.sarabrewer.com/workwithme

In this final episode of our three-part series on approaching and overcoming a habit with pornography, we focus on one powerful truth: you don't have to do it alone. Breaking free from this habit can feel overwhelming, but the journey doesn't need to be isolating or shameful. In this episode, we explore how releasing shame and embracing support can transform the process. Whether through coaching, community, or leaning on trusted relationships, you can find guidance, encouragement, and tools to move forward. We discuss the importance of replacing self-judgment with curiosity, prioritizing progress over perfection, and cultivating a network of people who remind you of your worth and potential. Your future self—the one living with greater freedom, confidence, and connection—is waiting. And with the right support, you can take the steps to meet them. My program, Quantum Upgrade Personal Transformation (https://chelseamyers.learnworlds.com/home), is a great tool that has supported many people in overcoming a pornography habit. There are also many other program options available. I recommend choosing one that feels best to you and giving it a solid, dedicated attempt all the way through.

In this episode, I introduce a concept called the shame-apathy trap. This insidious cycle causes unnecessary pain and suffering, often without us even realizing it. I walk you through how it manifests in our lives and share actionable tips to help you break free.   If you've ever felt like you're not doing enough to overcome pornography, or if apathy is creeping in and amplifying your shame, this episode is for you. I show you why trying to care more or do more isn't the solution and where your focus truly needs to be instead.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://centerforovercoming.com/post/shame-apathy-unraveled   If you're ready to do this work and start practicing unconditional commitment towards quitting your porn habit, sign up to work with me: https://www.sarabrewer.com/workwithme

In this episode of The Daniele Hage Podcast, Daniele is joined by Sathiya Sam, an expert in helping men overcome pornography addiction. Sathiya shares his personal journey, beginning with his exposure to pornography at a young age, and how it developed into a serious addiction during his university years. He reveals how his recovery involved not only stopping the behavior but addressing the deeper emotional and psychological issues, such as trauma, emotional awareness, and identity.   The conversation delves into the impact pornography has on relationships, particularly how it can distort intimacy and how many men, even in marriage, find that it doesn't solve their struggles with addiction.

He shares details about his system and tools that have helped thousands of men achieve lasting freedom. Daniele and Sathiya's open dialogue provides hope and guidance for anyone facing the shame and secrecy surrounding pornography addiction.
