Jonathon Seidl’s Story of Redemption
What happens when a follower of Christ finds herself face-to-face with addiction? How does someone who loves Jesus—and serves Him publicly—reconcile the shame, confusion, and pain that come with a battle so often hidden behind church smiles?
In this week’s episode of God-Sized Stories, I sat down with author and speaker Jonathon Seidl to talk about his powerful new book, Confessions of a Christian Alcoholic. It’s a raw, redemptive conversation about faith that falters, grace that pursues, and the freedom that comes only when we stop pretending and start telling the truth.
Jonathon doesn’t hold back. From his rise in digital media to the moments when everything unraveled, he opens up about anxiety, alcoholism, and the exhausting performance of perfection that so many believers know too well. We talked about what it really looks like to invite Jesus into the messy middle of healing—when the miracle doesn’t happen overnight and sanctification feels more like a wrestle than a victory dance.
You’ll hear about:
- Why addiction is often misunderstood in the church—and how we can do better.
- The surprising connection between mental health, faith, and freedom.
- What “radical vulnerability” truly looks like in the life of a believer.
This conversation isn’t polished or predictable—it’s honest, hopeful, and deeply human. If you’ve ever struggled to reconcile your faith with your flaws, this episode will remind you that redemption was never meant to be tidy.
