Podcast episode ("032 - Singleness & Addiction Pt. 1") hosted by Trevor Windsor and Nick Stumbo with guests Ben Bennett and Jake Kissick. The episode introduces a new ministry initiative partnered with Josh McDowell Ministries focused on speaking, equipping, and connecting churches and individuals around unwanted sexual behaviors (including pornography). Jake shares his personal story: exposed to pornography at age 13, a long (13-year) struggle, and significant recovery work beginning around 2015 (therapy, Pure Desire group). The conversation emphasizes that porn is widely accessible and harmful, that addiction drives isolation, and that true freedom involves community, emotional healing, counseling, and trajectory-based assessment before entering relationships. Practical guidance addresses how singles can find healing now rather than waiting and how ministries can equip the church to help.
