Giving Tuesday!
I’m sure everyone has received numerous emails about “Giving Tuesday” where we donate to non-profits after spending money on Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
But I want to take a different approach. I am grateful that Castimonia does not need to solicit funds due to our incredibly low fixed and variable costs and the donations by our generous members.
As I said at this year’s retreat, to Castimonia, money is not as important as changed lives. For Giving Tuesday, if you feel called by the Holy Spirit to write out how your life has been changed because of your recovery we would love to hear it. You can do so anonymously and send it to info@castimonia.org. For two members, your story will be added to the next addition of the Castimonia book so you can help others with your testimony!
God bless all of you on this Giving Tuesday!!!
Castimonia Purity Podcast Episode 115 – Theology as Recovery
On the Purity Podcast today, Chris discusses theology as recovery with Mike. Mike is a regular recovery guy like you and me. He approached me with this topic as a result of his growth in recovery when he discovered that while books on recovery are fantastic and help change our behavior, we are missing out if we don’t study the word of God to see heart change take place. In addition to the book Chris mentions, The Good and Beautiful God, by James Bryan Smith, here are some resources mentioned in today’s podcast.
- Desiring God by John Piper (all books available digitally at https://www.desiringGod.org)
- The Reason for God by Tim Keller
- Counterfeit Gods by Tim Keller
- Daily Doctrine by Kevin DeYoung
- The Expulsive Power of a New Affection by Thomas Chalmers
