    And if this time of year has ever felt like a lot, the hustle, the planning, the pressure, the trying-to-do-all-the-things, we get it. And we’ve been there. But what if Christmas didn’t have to feel that way anymore?

    to waking up on Christmas morning feeling rested and alive…
    to actually tasting the cheese board (can we get an amen?)…

    This episode will give you a fresh vision of what’s not only possible, but SO much better.

    Whether this is your first holiday season alcohol-free, or your 10th, or you’re just sober-curious, this list will make you want to grab a cozy mocktail, light up your tree, and celebrate everything you’re gaining this year. 🎄🩷

  • You Are Not Your Struggle: Healing Body, Brain & Belief | Leanne Ellington

    You Are Not Your Struggle: Healing Body, Brain & Belief | Leanne Ellington
    Dec 1 2025
    Have you ever looked in the mirror and felt stuck with your own body—in a similar way you’ve felt stuck with alcohol?That exhausting push-pull. The promises. The shame. The “why do I keep doing this?” on repeat. If that sounds familiar, this conversation is for you. For the woman who’s tried willpower, plans, promises, and prayers—yet still feels stuck in the cycle of body image battles, emotional eating, and quiet self-criticism. Friend, you are not alone. And you are not broken. Leanne joins us to share her powerful story of moving from food addiction and shame to true healing—rooted in both neuroscience and the unshakable love of God. What once felt like a personal failure of discipline became a holy revelation: real change happens when we understand our nervous system, renew our minds, and invite God into the process with us. In this episode, we talk honestly about how self-image shapes our choices, why “knowing better” isn’t the same as healing, and how faith and neuroscience beautifully work together to bring lasting freedom. Just like with alcohol, you’ll hear how the breakthrough didn’t come from trying harder—but from partnering with God differently. You’ll also hear how Leanne learned to separate who she is from what she struggled with—and how that shift opened the door to peace, empowerment, and a new identity grounded in Christ. If you’ve ever wondered why you keep doing the very thing you swore you wouldn’t—whether with food, alcohol, or anything else—this episode will remind you: you’re not failing—you’re in formation. And God isn’t standing at a distance. He’s right in the middle of your becoming. 📘 What You’ll Learn in This Episode How Leanne’s journey began with years of wrestling with food, shame, and body imageWhy understanding your nervous system can change everything about emotional eatingThe role of free will—and why God invites us into transformation rather than forcing itWhy self-image work is essential for lasting changeHow neuroscience helps explain the patterns behind our behaviorsWhy healing requires both head knowledge and heart alignmentThe freedom that comes from separating your identity from your strugglesHow God’s unconditional love becomes the foundation for real self-acceptanceWhy true transformation is always a partnership between you and God 💡 Mind–Body Renewal Practices to Try This Week Speak one truth about your identity in Christ every morningPause and breathe when a craving hits and ask: “What is my nervous system needing right now?”Replace negative self-talk with: “This is who I was. This is who I’m becoming.”Invite God into your healing with a simple daily prayer: “Renew my mind, Lord.”Keep a small journal of “behavioral wins” to train your brain to notice progress Practice mirror gratitude—thank God for one part of your body each day 💌 Links & Resources You can learn more about Leanne's work at LeanneEllington.com and StresslessEating.comor follow Leanne on instagram @leanneellington. 🤝 Join our community: https://butjesusdrankwine.com/community 📖 Order your copy of Love Life Sober: A 40 Day Alcohol Fast to Rediscover Your Joy, Improve Your Health, and Renew Your Mind https://amzn.to/42l7z9C 📲 Connect on Instagram: @butjesusdrankwine 🎥 Watch on YouTube: Come hang out with us HERE !

  • Gratitude & Thanksgiving | The Biblical (and Neuroscience-Backed) Secret to Peace

    Gratitude & Thanksgiving | The Biblical (and Neuroscience-Backed) Secret to Peace
    Nov 24 2025
    ​​This week, we’re leaning into the season of Thanksgiving, and talking about how gratitude really does change everything. 🦃✨ We all know we “should” be grateful, but when life feels heavy, the kids are loud, or your to-do list is a mile long… does gratitude actually help? (Spoiler: yes! And science agrees with what Scripture said all along!) In this conversation, we unpack how gratitude is not just a feel-good exercise, it’s a spiritual and neurological reset that can lower stress, boost dopamine and serotonin, and literally rewire your brain for joy. You’ll hear how our own sober Thanksgivings shifted from chaotic to peaceful, why slowing down is the secret to rewiring your mind, and how gratitude becomes the bridge from striving to worship. Whether you’re early in your alcohol-free exodus or simply craving more peace this holiday season, this episode will help you pause, breathe, and remember: You don’t need more wine to feel joy—you need more wonder. 📘 What You’ll Learn in This Episode Why gratitude is literally the antidote to anxiety (Philippians 4:6–8)The neuroscience behind how thankfulness rewires your brain for peaceHow alcohol trains your brain for “fast relief” and gratitude retrains it for lasting joyPractical ways to slow down, stay present, and practice gratitude dailyWhy gratitude transforms your relationship with God, and everyone else 💡 Tiny Tina Gratitude Practices Say “thank you, Lord for ___” at every stoplight this week 🚦Write (or voice note) 3 things you’re grateful for before bedPractice breath prayer: Jesus in.
