Love Life Sober is a Christian podcast for women questioning their relationship with alcohol and sensing God might have more for them beyond the wine glass. Have you felt that nudge from God to put down the wine glass, but the thought of relaxing, having fun, or even coping with life feels impossible without it? Are you waking up each morning vowing not to drink tonight, only to find that by five p.m., all bets are off? Love Life Sober is for sober and sober-curious women who love Jesus, or who are longing to reconnect with Him, and who know deep down that alcohol is no longer serving them. Hosted by Christian sobriety coach and author Christy Osborne, author of Love Life Sober: A 40 Day Alcohol Fast to Rediscover Your Joy, Improve Your Health, and Renew Your Mind, this podcast blends Scripture, neuroscience, and practical coaching to help you understand what’s happening in your brain, your nervous system, and your heart, and how lasting freedom from alcohol is actually possible. You’ll hear expert conversations and powerful testimonies for women exploring Christian sobriety, faith-based recovery, mindful drinking, and alcohol-free living. Each episode gently invites you to step away from wine and toward deeper connection with God, without shame, pressure, or the need to decide forever. At the heart of Love Life Sober is a simple truth. Love, joy, peace, and connection were never meant to be found in a wine bottle. They are found in Jesus. This is a grace-filled, shame-free space for women seeking freedom from alcohol through faith, neuroscience, and compassionate coaching. You don’t have to hit rock bottom. You don’t have to white-knuckle your way through sobriety. And you don’t have to do this alone.

    Sobriety Isn’t the Goal: Jesus Is | Jon Seidl

    Labels like “alcoholic,” “sober,” and “recovery” can feel loaded. Defining the real goal could be the missing piece for so many Christian men and women who feel stuck in the alcohol loop… This is not ultimately about sobriety. It’s about Jesus. In this episode, Christy sits down with Jon Seidl, author of Confessions of a Christian Alcoholic, to unpack why breaking free from alcohol isn’t ultimately about sobriety, it’s about Jesus, identity, and true transformation. This is what happens when the focus shifts from behavior to belief… from white-knuckling to abiding. Jon shares his honest story, including the moment that exposed what was really going on beneath the surface, and the words from his wife that changed everything. Together, he and Christy challenge the language, labels, and assumptions many Christians carry around drinking, recovery, and what it actually means to live free. This episode is honest, stretching, and deeply freeing for the woman who feels stuck trying to “fix” herself instead of surrendering. If you’ve ever thought… “I’m trying so hard, why won’t God just take this away?” “I don’t want to admit I’m struggling… I’m a Christian.” “I feel stuck between faith and my habits.” Babe, this episode will meet you right there 🩷 What You’ll Learn In This Episode • Why Jon uses the word “alcoholic” as a descriptor—not an identity • The difference between focusing on sobriety vs focusing on Jesus • How Scripture models honesty about the past without shame-based identity • Why ignoring conviction keeps you stuck (and what to do instead) • Why life without alcohol can feel harder—but still be better • What’s actually on the other side of obedience: peace, joy, and freedom Links & Resources Get your tickets to hear Jon and Christy speak at Aligned: https://www.alignedconference.org/ Jon’s Book: Confessions of a Christian Alcoholic https://amzn.to/4blxaFy Veritas Recovery: https://veritasrecovery.org 🌿 Join the Love Life Sober Community https://lovelifesober.co.uk/community 📖 Order Christy’s book, Love Life Sober https://lovelifesober.co.uk/book Connect on Instagram: @lovelifesoberwithchristy Subscribe on YouTube — Come hang with us!

    Don’t Try This Alone: Finding Your Real Community | Toni Collier

    If you’ve been trying to quit drinking, hide your struggles, or heal on your own, this conversation will meet you right where you are. In this episode, Christy sits down with Toni Collier to talk about shame, vulnerability, and why true healing happens in safe, honest community—not isolation. In this deeply honest and Spirit-led conversation, Toni shares her story of betrayal, trauma, and rebuilding her life through radical honesty and connection. From being the “strong one” to finally admitting she couldn’t do it alone, this episode is a powerful reminder that freedom isn’t found in hiding—it’s found in being seen. Together, they unpack why so many women stay stuck in cycles of shame (including alcohol use), how the enemy uses isolation to keep us trapped, and what it actually looks like to step into healing with God and other people. If you’ve ever felt like you should be able to “fix this on your own”… babe, this episode will shift something deep. 💭 If you’ve ever thought… “I should be able to handle this myself.” “I don’t want anyone to know how bad it really is.” “I feel ashamed of my drinking (or coping habits).” “I’ve been hurt by people… I don’t trust community.” Babe, this episode is for you 🩷 • What You’ll Learn In This Episode • Why shame thrives in isolation and loses power when it’s brought into the light • The difference between trying to heal alone vs. healing in safe, trusted community • How Toni’s story of betrayal and trauma revealed her need for people—not just strength • Why being the “strong one” can actually keep you stuck longer • How alcohol and other coping mechanisms can quietly become a response to pain and stress • Why moderation can become a trap and what real freedom can look like instead • The importance of confessional community and being known without judgment • How to find safe people and build community—even if you’ve been hurt before • Why healing happens in circles, not rows (and how to stop just consuming and start connecting) • A practical, honest look at what it takes to stop hiding and start healing Links & Resources Toni’s Book: Don’t Try This Alone Toni's Website Follow Toni: Instagram YouTube Join the Love Life Sober Community https://lovelifesober.co.uk/community Join the 40-Day Alcohol Fast https://lovelifesober.co.uk/the-fast Order Christy’s book, Love Life Sober: A 40 Day Alcohol Fast to Rediscover Your Joy, Improve Your Health, and Renew Your Mind https://lovelifesober.co.uk/book Connect on Instagram: @lovelifesoberwithchristy Subscribe on YouTube — Come hang with us! ⚠️ Disclaimer The creators, hosts, and producers of the Love Life Sober podcast are not healthcare practitioners and therefore do not give medical, psychological, or professional advice nor intend for the podcast or any Love Life Sober communication to substitute for such.

    Freedom From Alcohol Can Start Today | John Elmore

    Real freedom doesn’t come from willpower, labels, or trying harder—it starts with Jesus. In this episode of Love Life Sober, Christy Osborne is joined by pastor and author John Elmore to talk about addiction, confession, and what it actually looks like to walk in freedom through the Spirit. John shares his powerful story of addiction, the moment everything came crashing down, and why confession and community are essential—not optional—when it comes to healing. Together, they explore what it means to walk by the Spirit in everyday life, how to respond when it feels like God isn’t answering your prayers, and why locking the doors on temptation matters if you want lasting change. If you’ve been trying to “white knuckle” your way to freedom or feel stuck in cycles you can’t break, this conversation will remind you that freedom is available—and it starts today. If You’ve Ever Thought… “I’ve asked God to take this away, but I’m still struggling.” “I’m too ashamed to talk about this in church.” Babe, this episode is for you. What You’ll Learn In This Episode • Why alcohol often becomes a false solution to pain and stress—and how Jesus offers something far better • What Galatians 5:16 really means and how walking by the Spirit works in everyday life • Why confession is essential for healing and how shame keeps women trapped in secrecy • How your identity shapes your behavior and why you are a saint who sins, not a sinner trying to become holy • Why willpower isn’t enough and how daily dependence on God creates lasting freedom • How “one day at a time” mirrors God’s design for daily bread and sustainable change • What idols actually are, how alcohol quietly becomes one, and why surrender leads to real joy and peace 💌 Links & Resources 📖 John’s book: Freedom Starts Today https://amzn.to/3Z50d9f 🌿 Join the Love Life Sober Community https://lovelifesober.co.uk/community 📖 Order Christy’s book, Love Life Sober: A 40 Day Alcohol Fast to Rediscover Your Joy, Improve Your Health, and Renew Your Mind https://lovelifesober.co.uk/book 📖 Learn more about the Tyndale Life Recovery Bible https://hubs.la/Q041HjWm0 Connect on Instagram: @lovelifesoberwithchristy Subscribe on YouTube — Come hang with us!

    She Loved Jesus And Couldn't Stop Drinking | A Love Life Sober Testimony

    In this episode of Love Life Sober, Christy shares a powerful testimony about stopping drinking and finding freedom from alcohol through faith. Shantel Chandler shares her journey from struggling with alcohol to living alcohol-free, and how God used conviction, community, and surrender to break a drinking stronghold. Just 15 months ago, Shantel was at the very beginning of her journey—listening to the podcast, reading Christy’s book, and wondering if freedom could actually be real for her. Today, she’s living alcohol-free and sharing what changed as a Fast Captain, apart of the Love Life Sober community. Shantel opens up about how alcohol first entered her life as a confidence boost in high school, how it became a coping mechanism through heartbreak and loneliness, and how it eventually turned into a stronghold during some of the hardest seasons of her life—including motherhood, moving, stress, and navigating her child’s Type 1 diabetes diagnosis. But this story is also about the slow and steady way God pursued her—through a sister’s gentle comment, through sermons she couldn’t forget, through discipleship that felt like grace instead of condemnation, and finally through the moment she woke up and prayed, “Okay God, I’m done… but I don’t know how.” If you’ve ever felt the Holy Spirit tugging at your heart and you’re not quite sure what to do with it, this conversation will feel incredibly familiar. If you’ve ever thought… “I don’t know where I fit.” “I’m keeping this secret.” “I love Jesus… but I can’t stop.” “This has a grip on me.” This episode is for you. What You’ll Learn • How Shantel’s drinking began as a way to feel confident and fit in • How heartbreak and divorce shifted alcohol from “fun” to coping • What it was like becoming a single mom, rediscovering faith, and still living in a drinking cycle • Why major stress can deepen alcohol’s grip—including moving, isolation, and parenting through medical challenges like Type 1 Diabetes • The tension of wanting Christian community while still hiding struggles • What conviction felt like for Shantel and how God used sermons and conversations to pierce her heart • The difference between white-knuckling a fast and surrendering a stronghold • How community support helped her stop hiding and begin healing Links & Resources Join the Love Life Sober Community https://lovelifesober.co.uk/community Join the Lent 40-Day Alcohol Fast https://lovelifesober.co.uk/the-fast Order Christy’s Book Love Life Sober: A 40 Day Alcohol Fast to Rediscover Your Joy, Improve Your Health, and Renew Your Mind https://lovelifesober.co.uk/book Connect on Instagram @lovelifesoberwithchristy Subscribe on YouTube — Come hang with us!

    Change Your Thinking to Change Your Drinking | Dr. Lee Warren

    Christy is joined by Dr. Lee Warren, neurosurgeon, author, and one of the most grounded voices on faith, suffering, and the way God designed our brains to heal. They discuss his powerful book The Life-Changing Art of Self-Brain Surgery and how his “Ten Commandments” for mental and emotional health can help people break free from alcohol, stop believing every thought they think, and rebuild a life they actually want to live. Dr. Lee also shares the tender story of how grief reshaped his purpose after losing his son Mitch, and why your pain matters—even if someone else’s pain looks “worse.” If you’ve ever thought… “My trauma is too big… nothing can help me.” “My feelings feel true, so they must be true.” “One drink means I’ve ruined everything.” This conversation offers hope, practical tools, and a reminder that changing your thinking can truly change your life. What You’ll Learn: • Why your pain is valid and why comparing trauma keeps you stuck • How your brain can heal through Neuroplasticity (and why you’re not “stuck” with the brain you have) • Why feelings aren’t facts and how to practice curiosity instead of reacting • What Dr. Lee calls the “tomorrow tax” and why “no anesthesia allowed” changes everything • Whether the effects of alcohol on the brain can improve over time in recovery • What happens when you slip—and how to learn instead of spiral when building new pathways 💌 Links & Resources Dr. Lee’s Book: The Life-Changing Art of Self-Brain Surgery Connecting Neuroscience and Faith to Radically Transform Your Life https://amzn.to/40EZs7i Join the Love Life Sober Community https://lovelifesober.co.uk/community Order Christy’s Book Love Life Sober: A 40 Day Alcohol Fast to Rediscover Your Joy, Improve Your Health, and Renew Your Mind https://lovelifesober.co.uk/book Learn more about the Life Recovery Bible by visiting: https://hubs.la/Q041HjWm0 Connect on Instagram: @lovelifesoberwithchristy Subscribe on YouTube — Come hang with us!
