For Christian women who are sober, sober-curious, or questioning their relationship with alcohol, the Aligned Conference is creating a space to connect faith, sobriety, recovery, and community. In this special roundtable, Christy Osborne, Sherry Hoppen and Aligned speakers share why gathering together matters.
You'll hear honest conversations about Christian sobriety, sober curiosity, faith, recovery, shame, freedom, and what it looks like to build a life centered on Jesus.
We'll worship. We'll pray. We'll learn.
But we're also going to have FUN. 🩷
If you've been sitting on the fence about Aligned, we hope this episode gives you the nudge you've been waiting for.
You'll hear from:
Caroline Beidler — previewing her message From Numb to Known and what it means to move out of hiding and into being fully known by God and others.
Ericka Andersen — author of Freely Sober, sharing about the lie that struggling with alcohol means something is wrong with your faith.
Jon Seidl — sharing about gospel-centered recovery and why Christians don't need to be afraid to put Jesus at the center of the conversation.
Susan, Heather, and Cindy — Love Life Sober leaders sharing why something powerful happens when Christian women gather in person, pray together, worship together, and realize they aren't alone.
