Becoming Church

Rethinking Social Drinking as a Christian (with guest Ericka Andersen)


Listen Later

Is Christianity the right mixer for alcohol? Where’s the line to know how much is too much? When she found herself searching for “how to quit drinking,” Ericka Andersen didn’t find much that resonated with her as a Christian woman. So she created Freely Sober, a Christ-centered space to rethink alcohol.

In her new book “Freely Sober,” Ericka doesn’t lay out rigid rules for all Jesus followers to apply. Instead, she’s here to talk about addictions and compulsions and how to get curious about the things that try to control us.

*Brief mention of SA and other risks that increase with the consumption of alcohol.
