"But Jesus Drank Wine" & Other Stories That Kept Us Stuck

    Resourceful! Warm-hearted! Encouraging! Spirit-led!
    A dynamic duo, Meade and Christy walk through the journey to alcohol freedom holding your hand en route. The science behind alcohol and how it affects the brain and body and the truth of our need for Jesus, who fulfills all our lack and weakness is taught here. The podcast and community is a must-participate decision!

    A guidepost along the way
    As you consider how to you are going to keep it together amidst the deep questions in your soul, you will find Meade as a guidepost. As she takes the hand of Jesus, with great kindness and calm, she invites you and me to come along with her. You will find that she has walked the path from feeling stuck to knowing Jesus, not as she expected him to be, but as he really is.

    We need more talk about Jesus like this!
    I absolutely loved it the episode with Caroline Dooner. It rang so true to me! I loved the explanation of new age stuff. I wasn’t aware of the depth of all of that and how far it’s taken and how satanic it can get. I love hearing others talk about God and Jesus ☺️ we need that in the world so badly 🤍

    A lifesaver
    Meade and Christy are having genuine conversations about the benefits of living alcohol free while acknowledging how radical it would have seemed to them years ago. This is the podcast that Christian women need in their life if they are trying to figure out how to be true in their faith walks while living in todays drinking culture. It’s supportive, honest, and literally changed my life.

    Best episode yet!
    Your episode with Pastor David on shame is your best yet. You are uncovering so much truth and after the hundreds of podcasts I listened to and all the books, there is so much new stuff in this podcast. I’m so grateful for you both and your work. Thank you!!!

    Refreshing!
    I am blessed by Meade’s friendship. We met through our volunteer work at church. Little did I know that we both had a previous career in pharma. We also love the Lord 💕 I am not an alcoholic but I’ve lived around too many of them throughout my life. My mother died of pancreatic cancer at the age of 81. I know in my heart that if her life circumstances were different, she would have lived longer if she hadn’t drank scotch. I lost my favorite brother in law to cirrhosis at the young age of 65. I applaud Meade and Christy for their courage, devotion and dedication to help other women have a better life without alcohol. Thank you for your podcast! You are saving lives and families.

    Can’t wait for the next one!!
    As someone who has been alcohol free for 3 years and loving my new life, I wasn’t sure if this would be a repeat of what I already knew. I’m pleasantly surprised and thrilled to report that it is a stimulus for further growth. Meade and Christy have great chemistry and are able to blend neuroscience and practicality into a package that makes one curious, not judgmental of our actions. I’m hooked on this podcast!

    Fresh, real talk!
    Love, love, love this fresh, real talk about a sober lifestyle and all the lies that keep us stuck! Christy and Meade tackle the topics that I wish had been talked about years ago when I was struggling.
  • tlynsobergirl
    Meade and Christy have great chemistry!
    This is a refreshing and new take on sober podcasts. I love the co-hosts and the perspective they bring to the genre. These stories that keep us stuck are universal whether you identify as a Jesus follower or not. This might just be your favorite new podcast!

    So relatable!
    I am in love with this pod! Christy and Meade are raw, honest and open in telling their stories. The things they talk about are so relatable; they are all of us. I’m coming here more than 2 years sober, but even if you’re not or just sober-curious, there are good nuggets here. Highly recommend and can’t wait to hear more!

    As a Christian woman that has had her own battles with alcohol, this has been a changer. Relatable, understanding, and with no judgement. Life changing!

    Loved this!!
    Listened to the first two as a recommendation from a friend. Loved it! I loved the true life, honest stories. Two moms talking through their real life experiences. Highly recommend to all my sober curious friends!! Loved it!

    Real talk
    Christy and Meade both are just real moms chatting about their life and how each struggled with alcohol differently but both found comfort in letting it go. I love their honesty and just friendly mom chat flow. Very easy to listen too and helps you understand what people who struggle with alcohol and parenting are going through and I’m sure as it progresses they will go more into helpful ways to quit yourself but both these amazing women are proof that you too can enjoy life without needing to drink.
