Episode 8.

In this mini-podcast episode, Tim Mavergeorge and Doug discuss some great recovery books as resources for those seeking help and healing. Our spiritual path needs guidance from those that have gone before us, so they share a few resources that can be beneficial to those looking for something better.

Castimonia Purity Podcast Episode 6: Sean’s Testimony

https://castimonia.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/podcast06-seans-testimony.mp3

Episode 6.

Sean walks us through his early years, addiction, progression, discovery, and recovery. It is a powerful story of the search for significance that can drive us all in the wrong direction.

His honesty is inspiring, and it is evident that his openness and venerability are clearly helping him remain healthy and sexually sober.

Doug and Sean discuss the power of addiction, the denial process, and the freedom in truth.

If you are struggling and looking for help, realize that you are not alone. Utilize this testimony as hope that there are better days and better relationships possible.  We are all broken and in need of help.  We pray that you are able to find help, if you need it.
