Jon Seidl joined us today on The StoryField, and wow. Jon is the Christian who became an alcoholic—not the other way around. Usually we celebrate stories of non-Christians coming to Jesus. But what about Christians who stumble in their walks? Those stories of what Jon calls “messy sanctification” that can be hard to make sense of.
This is an episode of encouragement and hope – not judgment and condemnation so don’t tune out. You will not want to miss this radically vulnerable interview with him.
Jon tells us the story of how he spiraled into addiction and how he climbed out of it – all of which led and is the focus of his upcoming book “Confessions of a Christian Alcoholic: A Candid Conversation on Drinking, Addiction, and How to Break Free” which is set to release on October 7. However, you can lock in a 40% discount and FREE shopping by pre-ordering the book right here!
There are 4 main steps the Lord used in Jon’s life to help him break free of his unhealthy relationship with alcohol. Tune in today and listen how each of these steps can help anyone in their life – they are not only for people struggling with alcohol. They helped Jon finally stop the destructive cycle of shame and find freedom—and the key to doing that is something we all need in our lives! Listen today to this wild story of God’s transformation and be encouraged.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
