Resources
You don’t have to do this alone.
We’ve created and curated essential resources—books, an online community, downloads, our own podcast, and more—to help you pursue Gospel-centered addiction recovery to achieve lasting freedom in Christ.
And we’re continuing to create more.
These Christian recovery resources are designed to move beyond behavior modification and address the deeper heart issues that keep us doing what we don’t want to do. And we’re just getting started. Additional video studies, teaching series, and discipleship tools are in development to equip you for long-term, gospel-rooted recovery.
Wherever you are in your journey, these resources are here to help you take your next faithful step.
This is just the beginning.

Addiction isolates. The gospel restores.
We believe true healing happens best in biblical community—where truth is spoken, shame loses its grip, and confession replaces secrecy. As many have said, the opposite of addiction is connection. The best type of connection is ultimately found in Christ, and it is strengthened through honest, Gospel-centered relationships.
Our online recovery community gathers every Sunday night from 7–8 PM CT on Zoom. It’s open to anyone and everyone. No matter your struggle and no matter what level. Each week includes a time of encouragement grounded in Scripture, followed by questions and open discussion in a safe, confidential environment. We’re also developing a full community platform that will be released later this year.
You’re not alone, and you’ll see that every Sunday night.
No shame, no labels, no pretending.

Confessions of a Christian Alcoholic
While the Christian community loves stories of salvation, it struggles with stories of sanctification—the often-messy journey of becoming like Jesus. As a result, many Christians who stumble are mired in shame, especially when it comes to one of society's biggest post-Covid obsessions: alcohol. But there is hope for those willing to rethink their drinking.
In Confessions of a Christian Alcoholic, Jonathon M. Seidl vividly tells his own story of disordered drinking. Not only does he address the roots of addiction, trauma, and the often-overlooked reality that Christians aren't immune to sin struggles, he also reframes the term alcoholic and shares the practical yet spiritual four-step process he used to break free—a process readers will find helpful for working through many of life's struggles.
You’ll learn:
What alcoholism really looks like (it’s not what you think!)
The true root of your destructive decisions—whatever they may be
Why the Gospel makes room for messy sanctification
How to break free from destructive habits and shame
Why freedom comes through radical honesty and vulnerability
Why the goal shouldn’t be to drink less, but rather to get more of Jesus
Written in an engaging, conversational style, Confessions shows that there's hope for Christians who become alcoholics, not just for alcoholics who become Christians.
Finding Rest
In the aftermath of the pandemic, even those who have never struggled with mental health have found themselves reeling, looking for answers they don't know how to find. For Christians, especially those who've despaired of help from a church that has too often stigmatized poor mental health as a lack of faith, the way forward can be particularly difficult to see.
Jonathon Seidl aims to fix that. Having fought his own way through crippling anxiety, life-altering OCD, and suicidal thoughts, he knows the value of concrete advice grounded in strong biblical truth. Instead of the trite or unsympathetic counsel that's too often given, Finding Rest is practical, personal, and productive. Full of compelling stories, humor from a guide who's still on his journey, and scriptural truths, this book offers real hope and help. It also provides a lifeline for friends and family who long for ways to help relieve the suffering of their loved ones. And it calls to account the church for its historical treatment of mental health and lays out thoughtful, needed paths for the body of Christ to become a refuge of hope for the anxious.

Podcast
"Confessions of a Christian alcoholic" (based on the book by the same title) is all about real stories, radical vulnerability, and remarkable comebacks of people who have struggled with alcoholism and addictions of all sorts. The show features interviews with fellow addicts and alcoholics as well as professionals in the fields of trauma, faith, and addiction recovery.
The truth is there are more people who feel stuck doing the things they don't want to do than we realize. Because let's be honest, we're all addicted to something.
In the end, "Confessions" is a place for the desperate, the downtrodden, the destitute, and especially, the drunk. But it's also a place of hope and healing. I found sobriety after decades of struggling, but more importantly than finding sobriety he found Jesus.
So check out “Confessions of a Christian Alcoholic” and let's get radically vulnerable as we explore what it looks like to be on this journey of messy sanctification.
“Confessions of a Christian Alcoholic” is available on LifeAudio, Apple, Spotify, or wherever you listen to great podcasts.
