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.

Highlights:

• What Aligned is and who it's for
• Why you don't have to struggle with alcohol alone
• What it means to move from hiding to being fully known
• Why faith and recovery belong in the same conversation

Love Life Sober is a Christian podcast for women questioning their relationship with alcohol and sensing God might have more for them beyond the wine glass.

Have you felt that nudge from God to put down the wine glass, but the thought of relaxing, having fun, or even coping with life feels impossible without it? Are you waking up each morning vowing not to drink tonight, only to find that by five p.m., all bets are off?

Love Life Sober is for sober and sober-curious women who love Jesus, or who are longing to reconnect with Him, and who know deep down that alcohol is no longer serving them.

Hosted by Christian sobriety coach and author Christy Osborne, author of Love Life Sober: A 40 Day Alcohol Fast to Rediscover Your Joy, Improve Your Health, and Renew Your Mind, this podcast blends Scripture, neuroscience, and practical coaching to help you understand what’s happening in your brain, your nervous system, and your heart, and how lasting freedom from alcohol is actually possible.

You’ll hear expert conversations and powerful testimonies for women exploring Christian sobriety, faith-based recovery, mindful drinking, and alcohol-free living. Each episode gently invites you to step away from wine and toward deeper connection with God, without shame, pressure, or the need to decide forever.

At the heart of Love Life Sober is a simple truth. Love, joy, peace, and connection were never meant to be found in a wine bottle. They are found in Jesus.

This is a grace-filled, shame-free space for women seeking freedom from alcohol through faith, neuroscience, and compassionate coaching. You don’t have to hit rock bottom. You don’t have to white-knuckle your way through sobriety. And you don’t have to do this alone.

If you’re ready to loosen alcohol’s grip and live the life God is inviting you into, you’re in the right place.
