We’re celebrating something special today, Amber’s one-year alcohol-free anniversary! 🩷

Amber is not only a beloved member of our But Jesus Drank Wine community, she’s also part of our leadership team, guiding women toward freedom with compassion, wisdom, and grace.

In this heartfelt and hope-filled conversation, Amber shares her powerful story, from binge drinking and endless moderation “rules” to finding peace, purpose, and freedom through Christ. 

She opens up about the fears she had around her marriage, motherhood, and social life… and how God met her in every single one of them.

Whether you’re just beginning to question your relationship with alcohol or already walking your own exodus, Amber’s story will remind you that you’re not alone, and surrender is where freedom begins.

📘 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• The exhausting cycle of guilt, shame, and 3 a.m. wake-ups (and what finally broke it).
• Why moderation rules don’t work — even for disciplined women — and what does.
• How faith-based support and community transformed her healing journey.
• The fear of losing her marriage, and how God made it even stronger without alcohol.
• What it’s like to celebrate big milestones (like your 40th birthday!) sober and joy-filled.
• How planning ahead helped her stay grounded at parties, vacations, and social events.
• How her anxiety and prayer life completely changed when alcohol left the picture.
• What freedom looks like in marriage, motherhood, and everyday joy.
