Episode 5: Real Talk with Pastor Justin: Faith, Family & Community
In this episode of the CCPA Playbook, we sit down with Justin Strickland — sixth-generation Homosassa native, community leader, and lead bishop at the Crystal River Church of God.
Justin brings energy, laughter, and heart into every room he walks into. He’s more than a hometown pastor — he’s a true servant leader with deep roots in Citrus County and an unwavering commitment to building up others.
We dive into the stories that shaped him:
➡️ The mentors who lit the path.
➡️ His passion for pouring into the next generation through Youth Leadership Citrus.
➡️ His role as Chairman of the Citrus County Library Board and why access to resources matters.
But most of all, Justin reminds us that real leadership starts with authenticity. He says he’s most comfortable with people who are open about their struggles — because that’s where real growth and genuine connection begin.
From the pulpit to public service, Justin leads with both grit and grace — and you’ll feel every bit of that in this conversation.
💬 Tune in for a refreshing, faith-filled, and heartfelt episode that will leave you inspired, encouraged, and smiling.
