What tool do you grab for in a crucial conversation where the stakes are high, opinions vary, and emotions run strong – violence, silence, or dialogue?

In construction, people know the value of having the right tool. If you need to tighten a loose screw, for example, you grab a screwdriver or – better yet – a drill. The question is: In relationships, when you're faced with conflict, what tools do you reach for?

The universe is filled with evidence. What does the evidence of human consciousness, free will, and moral law communicate about God, society, and personal meaning?

The Universe is filled with evidence. How is it pointing toward design rather than randomness, and what does that mean for us?

Baptism is not a one-time event in water, but baptism needs to be a daily reminder of the gospel and how we can daily follow Jesus!

This is our last message in our series called “He Loves Me.” Today’s message brings this entire series full circle in a very important way. It is different because it speaks to the final goal of the healing journey. The goal is to become a healed healer.

As a third-generation pastor, Nick Stumbo observed first-hand the fallout of sexual brokenness and devastation in the lives of men and women in the church. After facing his own addiction to pornography, Nick and his wife, Michelle, found hope and healing through the counseling and group ministries of Pure Desire. It radically changed their lives! His public disclosure to his church body led to much forgiveness and healing and the launch of Pure Desire groups for men and women. Today, as the Executive Director of Pure Desire, Nick continues to believe that the church can become a place of healing. He is the author of Setting Us Free and Safe: Creating a Culture of Grace in a Climate of Shame. Nick lives in Oregon with his wife and four children.
