Welcome to the Confessions of a Christian Alcoholic podcast! In the show's first episode, author and host Jon Seidl tells his detailed story of being the Christian who became an alcoholic, not the other way around. It's usually the other way around, isn't it? And the church seems to be OK with those stories, but what about the stories that are messy like Jon's? Like yours?

In an effort to break the stigma around addiction, Jon gets radically vulnerable about his personal journey of going from bestselling Christian author, to alcoholic, and then coming back to Jesus. How was he able to finally stop drinking after years of being stuck? What did rock bottom look like? What were the four steps he took to break free? It's all on the inaugural episode.

Finally, Jon shares what you can expect from the podcast going forward. From interviews with fellow alcoholics and addicts, to helpful conversations with clinicians and faith leaders like Alison Cook, Curt Thompson, and Chuck DeGroat.
