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 Pure Desire 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.  

Complete this form if you are interested or want to learn more about Pure Desire Ministries for men. This registration is simply to let us know that you are interested. One of the leaders of Pure Desire, Travis Thomack, will contact you after submission.

This registration is confidential and will only be accessible to ministry leaders.

This 8-week video training is a deep-dive into the factors that contribute to unwanted sexual behavior, how shame and grace affect the healing process, as well as practical tools and strategies that lead to lasting health. This class is open to everyone, whether you struggle, your spouse struggles, or you want to be more equipped to walk alongside others in this area.  Check out this video to learn more!

Foster Friends is a ministry at Woodlands Church that seeks to support families who are fostering children. Being a foster family is hard work and often very isolating. The family must navigate new personalities, needs, appointments and the trauma and grief that these new children bring with them. Often, the stress of all of this leads to burn out and about 80% of families quit fostering after 1 year, thus moving the child to another home. Each time a child is moved it creates more trauma and hurt for them to process. God has a heart for each one of these children and there is something we can do; not everyone is called to become a foster family but we can all do something!

Foster Friends creates Care Communities to surround each foster family at our church with a meal once a week, childcare and prayer. This tangible support helps the family to foster longer and avoid burnout.
