Castimonia Purity Podcast Episode 6: Sean’s Testimony

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.

Friday, November 11th – Sunday, November 13th.

Castimonia’s Paratus Retreat is sponsored by Armaturam, LLC and is a retreat for any man who struggles with any type of sexual purity.  Paratus, Latin for equipped.

If you are wondering about whether to attend this retreat, ask yourself these questions:

  • Are you fully equipped for the spiritual battle that is raging around us right now?
  • Are you a man who strives for biblical sexual purity?
  • Are you a man who struggles with maintaining that sexual purity?
  • Do you want a circle of brothers helping you in your sexual purity journey?

Join us for a weekend dedicated to equipping adult men of all ages, all walks of life, and various levels of struggle with the tools necessary to wage this spiritual battle and emerge on the other side as the sexually pure men that God intended us to be.

At the retreat, we will discuss strategies for equipping ourselves with tactics necessary for battling the enemy. We will discover the true meaning of brotherhood and fellowship. The leaders of the retreat will set the example of vulnerability and accountability. We hope to pave the way for all men to be fully equipped to wage war against Satan’s tempting assaults and emerge VICTORIOUS.

He started to wonder why we treat addicts the way we do — and if there might be a better way. As he shares in this deeply personal talk, his questions took him around the world, and unearthed some surprising and hopeful ways of thinking about an age-old problem.
