Come hang out with Kelsey, Christy, and Meade in our community, here: https://butjesusdrankwine.com/community
We are so excited to share Kelsey Green’s testimony with you today. Kelsey is a beloved member of the But Jesus Drank Wine leadership team and someone who played a key role in laying the foundation of our community.
In this episode, Kelsey shares her deeply personal journey of changing her relationship with alcohol and how her faith in Jesus Christ brought radical transformation to her life. She opens up about the hidden struggle behind her drinking, her early efforts to seek help, and the life-changing moment she discovered this very podcast—a moment that shifted everything.
That encounter with faith led her back to Jesus, and into a life filled with peace, joy, and purpose like she’d never known before. As a mom of twin boys, Kelsey’s story is a powerful testimony to the difference surrendering to Christ can make in every area of life.
This conversation also explores the power of community, the beauty of real-life friendships formed through the BJDW podcast, and how vulnerability opens the door to true healing. If you’re seeking freedom—from alcohol, shame, or the weight of trying to keep it all together—this episode is for you.
