    Episode Details

    Discovering the Joy of an Alcohol-Free Life

    Date: Jan 6, 2026

    Guests: Christy Osborne

    For years, Christy Osborne turned to wine to manage grief, a struggling marriage, and the pressures of motherhood, only to feel trapped in her habits. In desperation, she cried out to Jesus—and through His grace, began a journey of healing, finding new strength in Scripture and healthier ways to face life’s challenges. She shares her story as a testimony of God’s peace, redemption, and the lasting hope found in Him.
