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.
