Episode 24: Sexual Integrity, Gospel Hope, and the Next Generation (w/ Nick Stumbo)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, we sit down with Nick Stumbo, Executive Director of Pure Desire Ministries, for a candid and hope-filled conversation about sexual brokenness, shame, healing, and discipleship on the college campus.
Nick shares his own story of struggling with pornography as a pastor, the pain it brought into his marriage, and the freedom he and his wife began to experience through counseling, honesty, community, and the deeper work of understanding what was beneath the behavior.
Together, we explore why sexual formation matters for college students, how digital culture, pornography, AI, and hookup culture are shaping the next generation, and why the church has an opportunity to respond with clarity, compassion, and courage. Nick challenges campus leaders not to wait until students are in crisis, but to create cultures where biblical sexuality can be discussed openly, shame can be brought into the light, and students can discover that their bodies, stories, and desires are not beyond the redeeming work of God.
For students, ministry leaders, and anyone who feels stuck in secrecy or disqualified by their past, this conversation offers a better word: you are not alone, healing is possible, and Jesus meets us with grace in the very places we are most afraid to bring into the light.
