CONFESSIONS OF A CHRISTIAN ALCOHOLIC:

A Candid Conversation on Drinking, Addiction, and How to Break Free

COMING FALL 2025

Through radical vulnerability and vivid examples, Jon shares his painful and deeply personal story of realizing he had a drinking problem, despite his strong faith and successful career in the Christian world. He dives deep into discovering the root of why he was drinking and how it affected his life and marriage, culminating in him sharing the steps he had to take to embrace sobriety. However, this isn’t the typical “alcoholic” story that involves a radical conversion. It’s a story of sanctification — how long obedience in the same direction led to a realization that his habits had become both sinful and destructive. In some ways Jon fit the traditional definition of an alcoholic, but in many ways he did not, and that led to an even deeper abuse of his relationship with alcohol.

The Christian community loves stories of conversion, but it struggles with stories of messy sanctification. Because of that, countless Christians are stuck in shame and destructive behavior — especially with alcohol. Jon aims to change by sharing his story as well as the specific steps he took to break free.
