WALK IN PURITYWhat it is
Pure Desire Ministries International, founded by Dr. Ted Roberts, has operated for more than 30 years and reports serving over 100,000 people. What it does better than most is refuse the usual choice between a ministry that means well and a clinic that has the expertise: everything is described as biblically based and clinically informed, and the group curricula reflect that. The offering spans facilitator-led support groups (see the separate Pure Desire Groups entry), Christian counseling, the Pure Desire and Unfiltered podcasts, blogs, free ebooks and an annual summit, covering pornography addiction, compulsive sexual behaviour, betrayal trauma and relationship damage — with men, women and partners kept in separate tracks. The practical starting point is the free 15-minute consultation, which lets someone find out whether counseling or a group is the right fit before committing money. Based in Troutdale, Oregon.
