When Faith Meets Addiction: A Christian’s Honest Journey with Alcohol
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this powerful episode, I sit down with Jon Seidl, author of Confessions of a Christian Alcoholic, for an honest conversation the Church doesn’t talk about enough.
While Christianity celebrates stories of salvation, it often struggles to hold space for sanctification—the messy, uncomfortable, ongoing process of becoming like Jesus.

He shares his personal journey with disordered drinking, confronting the shame many Christians carry when they stumble, especially around alcohol in a post-Covid culture where drinking is normalized and even celebrated.
We talk about:
• Why Christians aren’t immune to addiction or compulsive behaviors
• How shame keeps people stuck longer than alcohol ever does
• Reframing the word alcoholic without minimizing responsibility
• The spiritual and practical four-step process Jonathon used to break free
• Why there’s hope for Christians who become alcoholics, not just alcoholics who become Christians
This episode is for anyone who’s tired of pretending, tired of white-knuckling faith, and ready for real freedom rooted in honesty, grace, and transformation from the inside out.
