Pure Desire Summit 2026
Watch Party At Maranatha
October 9-10
Friday: 6pm - 8:30pm
Saturday: 2pm - 4:30pm
The Pure Desire Summit brings together trusted voices, practical teaching, and real stories of healing for those navigating sexual brokenness, unwanted sexual behavior, and betrayal trauma.
We’re hosting a Pure Desire Summit Watch Party where we’ll watch a few selected sessions from the 2026 Summit, hear stories from people who have experienced healing through Pure Desire, and share more about what’s coming to Maranatha.
This night is also an opportunity to learn about the Pure Desire groups launching at Maranatha in October - safe, confidential spaces designed to help men and women step out of isolation and pursue lasting freedom and healing in community.
Whether Pure Desire is something you’re considering for yourself or you simply want to learn more, you’re welcome to join us.
Seven Pillars of Freedom for Men
Many men who struggle with sexual brokenness try to go it alone. They believe the lie that sexual brokenness is about sex; when really, it’s about medicating the pain in their lives. Despite their losses - marriage, ministry, relationships, and more — they continue to return to unwanted sexual behaviors.
But the truth is, we cannot fix a problem if we don’t know what’s causing it.
Through Seven Pillars of Freedom you’ll start to understand your whole story and identify what contributes to your sexual brokenness. You will begin your recovery from unwanted sexual behavior with a trusted group of men on the same journey. Through Seven Pillar’s guided lessons and a trusted community, you will develop the tools necessary to break free, heal your relationship, and take back your life.
Navigating your healing journey can be challenging at times. Throughout Seven Pillars of Freedom, we want to equip you with the tools you need to bring your best effort to each lesson. Watching these videos will help you have a great, life-changing group experience!
Are you ready?

Betrayal & Beyond for Women
The pain and trauma created through sexual betrayal is devastating. The life you thought you had is gone. And now, you are consumed with thoughts and feelings you’ve never experienced before—thoughts and feelings you can’t even describe.
With a fresh perspective on trauma treatment, Betrayal & Beyond takes a partner sensitive approach to healing from the effects of sexual betrayal.
Throughout your group experience, you will:
gain a greater understanding of how the trauma from betrayal is impacting your mind, body, and soul.
apply strategies to keep you safe and emotionally healthy.
identify and recognize the symptoms of trauma.
incorporate proactive strategies to alleviate trauma symptoms during times of stress.
learn the power of self-care.
reestablish trust and emotional health in your relationship.
create a plan for your future that is informed, intentional, and healthy.
Although sexual betrayal has turned your world upside down, we’re so thankful you’ve chosen to get healing for yourself. Being able to process your experiences in a safe, grace-filled place—and working at a pace that encourages self-discovery—will empower you to make strides in your healing and equip you to make informed decisions for your future. All of this, and so much more, from a biblically based and clinically informed approach to healing!
