The Courageous Moms Podcast

14. "I Chose Hope. He Chose Sobriety. Here's What God Did."


Listen Later

In this heartfelt episode, Christie shares her Word of the Year for 2025—Embrace—and reflects on how God used her previous word, Hope, to carry her through the ups and downs of parenting a child battling addiction.  She shares the powerful story of her son choosing Sobriety as his own word last year and how he ended the year sober and remains in recovery today.

You’ll be encouraged to choose your own Word of the Year, reconnect with your faith, and learn how to embrace not only the joyful moments—but also the pain, the questions, and everything in between.  Whether your year is going as planned or feels off-track, this episode reminds you: it’s not too late to start again with God’s help.
