Ashley Jameson spent years in a pattern of sexual addiction, other addictions, and brokenness. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't seem to end the cycle. It wasn’t until her husband’s pornography addiction was exposed that she realized how “betrayal trauma” and a lack of biblical and practical wisdom in her own life was keeping her trapped in brokenness. The excruciating pain and trauma of her husband’s porn betrayal drove her to find answers and healing for herself and her family.

Today, Ashley has overcome her brokenness and her own sexual addiction, and wants women and teens who feel stuck in their struggles and addictions to know they are not alone and there is hope. She knows firsthand the impact of walking with others through recovery and healing — and the joy of discovering freedom.

As the Director of Programs and Partnerships at Pure Desire Ministries, Ashley provides leadership and training to churches across the U.S. and around the world. She is a certified Pastoral Sex Addiction Professional (PSAP) through the International Institute for Trauma and Addiction Professionals (IITAP) and has been trained in the Multidimensional Partner Trauma Model (MPTM) through the Association of Partners of Sex Addicts Trauma Specialists (APSATS). She has been instrumental in training new leaders to advance the message of hope and healing in the Church.

Ashley’s honest transparency is refreshing — and her love for Jesus is contagious.

As a third-generation pastor, Nick Stumbo started his ministry career at the East Hills Alliance Church in Kelso, Washington. Serving as their lead pastor for more than a decade, Nick observed the fallout of sexual brokenness and devastation in the lives of men and women in the Church. He recognized, like never before, the need for a culture of grace and healing 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. The experience radically changed their lives. His public confession to his church congregation led to a revival of forgiveness and healing, launching Pure Desire’s healing groups for both men and women.

Today, as the Executive Director of Pure Desire and a certified Pastoral Sex Addiction Professional (PSAP) through the International Institute for Trauma and Addiction Professionals (IITAP), Nick passionately believes the Church can become a place of healing — and that Pure Desire leads the way to freedom from sexual addictions.

Nick earned a Masters of Divinity from Bethel Seminary in San Diego, California, and a Bachelor of Science from Crown College in Santa Cruz, California. He is the author of three books, including Setting Us Free, Safe: Creating a Culture of Grace in a Climate of Shame, and Hope, Healing and Freedom, his latest book co-authored with Ashley Jameson, Pure Desire’s Director of Programs and Partnerships.

Nick is the host of the Pure Desire Podcast and a frequent contributor to Pure Desire blogs and documentaries on sexuality and addiction recovery. As a sought-after subject expert, he has appeared as a guest on Focus on the Family Radio and in other popular media outlets.

Nick and Michelle have four children, ages 14-21, and live in Nashville, Tennessee.
