Why I Stopped Drinking (Even Though I Enjoyed It)

from theWordcast Hosted by Luke/Mitch

I enjoyed drinking. I was usually the guy making plans, getting everyone together, and finding somewhere to go out. So when I felt God calling me to stop, giving it up wasn’t easy. I started drinking at 18 after my hockey career ended. In this video, I share why I quit, what made that decision difficult, and what God has been teaching me about obedience and discipline - especially when it means letting go of something I still enjoy. This is my personal conviction, not me telling every Christian they have to make the same decision. I’m sharing what that process has honestly looked like for me. And something I’m learning? I never needed alcohol to be the fun guy. I’m still Luke. Have you ever felt God asking you to give something up that you didn’t want to let go of? I’d love to hear your story in the comments.
