Jason Johnston
Jason grew up in Pennsylvania and came to know Christ at a young age. He felt a call to missions at the age of twelve. Exposure to pornography in middle school led to a ten year period of addiction.
He attended Penn State University in 2001 and met The Navigators in college where the Lord gave him a heart for campus ministry. The Navigators were actively developing resources for helping students come to freedom from pornography addiction.
After graduation, he joined The Navigators full time and was sent to The University of Alabama. He became the director of The Clemson Navigators in 2010. On campus at Clemson, his passion is to train and equip students to walk with Jesus and to teach them to help others also (2 Timothy 2:2). In 2021 he transitioned to a regional position with The Navigators.
One particular ministry emphasis is helping students walk in sexual integrity in the midst of the rising levels of pornography addiction. Jason started The War of the Soul to train churches and parents to prevent the next generation of spiritual leaders from growing up addicted to pornography.
Jason lives in Clemson with his wife Christine, their three children, and poodle named “Happy”.

Small groups are the bread and butter of recovery and personal development. The church must pursue Gospel-centered small groups. In over 17 years of ministry, I’ve found that small groups provide the most rapid and long-lasting transformation. On campus we use small groups for sexual integrity, personal Bible study, leadership development, and more. The War of the Soul Small Group curriculum provides churches an easy to follow transformational small group.
Leading small groups is developmental for the leader as they learn to press into the lives of those in their group. I’ve found that leading groups is instrumental in maintaining my own personal sexual integrity as I’m forced to confront, not just what my group members are battling, but my own struggles as well.
