Ep. 18: Living Alcohol-Free as an Orthodox Christian

Today, I’m sharing a more personal conversation about my journey living alcohol-free as an Orthodox Christian. I open up about my own past with alcohol, why I ultimately decided to stop drinking, and the physical, emotional, and spiritual changes I experienced throughout that journey. Most importantly, I reflect on what the Lord has shown me through it all. This episode is in no way meant to condemn anyone. It’s an account of my personal experience, and perhaps an invitation for you to self-reflect on your relationship with alcohol and how it impacts your spiritual life.If this episode resonated with you, please consider following the podcast and sharing it with someone who may be encouraged by it. 🙏Always remember to keep Christ first. He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life! ☦️RESOURCES— Ephesians 5:18 “Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery.
