I will make a road through the wilderness for my people The problems of the world are getting bigger. Busy, stress-filled lives have become the norm.

Pure & Simple Ministry Conference & Library of ResourcesThe Pure and Simple Ministry is a group dedicated to helping men and women break free from unwanted sexual behaviors and codependency. It was founded in 2004 by David and Robin Weidner from the Idaho International Church of Christ (ICOC) and Tom and Carol Nuelle, who lead The Madison Church of Christ (an ICOC church). Their website says: "The Pure and Simple Ministry addresses the serious damage caused by sexual sin and addiction. Individuals, spouses, and children are not only harmed but often chained to a lifestyle they are desperate to escape. We help equip men and women worldwide to find the same freedom and victories we have experienced. Our resources and conferences are biblically based. They focus on helping Christians identify the root causes of their struggle, teach them to pursue holiness with a practical plan, and engage them with others who can join them on the path to recovery." They have an annual conference which happens to be in New York this year, on November 11-13. If you are interested in getting more information or attending, click the button below. In addition to their in-person event, they have over 100 recordings of Bible studies and sharing from past conferences. They discuss many topics in these recordings; it is a great resource and a great library of recordings! Some of the issues they go over are:
