Castimonia Retreat – SPECIAL SPEAKERS ANNOUNCEMENT

We are excited to have three great speakers at this year’s Castimonia Retreat. Their information can be found below.

Jason B. Martinkus – Co-Author of “Worthy of Her Trust” and founder of Redemptive Living (https://www.redemptiveliving.com/). Jason spent a few years in the corporate world doing work he was never designed to do. After blowing up his life with sexual integrity issues, God called him out of corporate, back to school and into ministry. Today, by the grace of God he is free and experiencing relational redemption with his wife Shelley. Together their passion is to help men, their wives and marriages heal from sexual integrity issues. Along with their 3 boys, they are proud to call Colorado home.

John Adams, MA, LPC, LCDC-I – Founder of Liberty Christian Counseling in Katy, TX (https://libertychristiancounseling.com/) specializing in individuals, couples, and groups whose lives have been disrupted by anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, traumatic events, substance abuse, pornography, and sexual addiction.

Woody Farrar, LPC – Founder of Better Thoughts Counseling Services (https://www.betterthoughts.org/). Woody earned his BA in Sociology at the University of Houston (Main Campus); studied towards his Masters of Divinity at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary; and earned his Masters of Counseling from Houston Graduate School of Theology. Woody served as an ordained Southern Baptist pastor and a non-denominational pastor for a total of 14 years. He is a veteran of the USAF.

Chris A. – Chris has been involved with Castimonia since October 2018. At the time of writing, he has been sober for 2,108 days, 24 hours at a time. As a part of his recovery, he facilitates the Castimonia calls on Tuesdays and Fridays, mentors multiple men in recovery, serves on the Retreat Planning Team, and is the new host of the Purity Podcast. Chris has been in Cybersecurity sales for 20+ years, has three adult kids, and has been married to his wife Lisa for 29 years. He also has a Master of Divinity from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, which, by all accounts, makes him a C+ Christian based on the grading scale at SWBTS.
