Pure Desire Summit, September 19-20
Healing from compulsive sexual behavior and betrayal trauma
Fri, September 19, 2025 @ 06:00 pm - 09:00 pm
Healing from compulsive sexual behavior and betrayal trauma isn’t a one-time moment—it’s a journey. And if you’ve ever felt like yours is taking longer than it should, or wondered if you’re doing it “right,” you’re not alone. That’s why we want to invite you into a unique space designed just for that in-between—the questions, the worries, and the hope that healing is still happening.
On September 19-20, 2025, Pure Desire Ministries will be hosting their largest event of the year, designed for anyone who wants to take back their life from brokenness and betrayal. If this is you, here are 5 reasons why this weekend stands out—and why you’ll want to be in the room and join us at the Eau Claire SDA Church:
1. You’ll hear from the best voices in the field.
You’ll hear from trusted, biblically-based and clinically-informed experts in sexual addiction, betrayal trauma, and relationships—people who don’t just teach healing, they’ve lived it.
2. It’s a safe place to be real.
No shame. No pretending. Just real people in the process. Whether you’re single, married, struggling, or steady—this is a place where you’re welcome, seen, and safe.
3. You’ll walk away with tools you can actually use.
This isn’t a mountaintop weekend that fizzles out by Monday. You’ll leave with practical strategies and next steps for your personal healing and relationships.
4. The stories will stay with you.
Nothing inspires hope like hearing, “Me too.” You’ll hear powerful testimonies of redemption, freedom, and the ongoing journey of recovery from people who’ve walked through it.
5. Hope will feel real again.
Not vague, not cliché. Real hope—anchored in truth. The kind that meets you where you are and reminds you that healing is still possible.
If you’re ready to take a step forward in healing, wholeness, and community, go all in on your healing and register for the Pure Desire Summit.
