In this deeply honest episode, Lydia sits down with her husband Andrew for a raw, faith-filled conversation about addiction, purpose, marriage, and what it truly means to surrender your life to God.

Andrew shares his journey from daily drinking, searching for meaning through substances and feeling lost - to finding clarity, freedom, and purpose through Christ. Together, they talk about how quitting alcohol transformed their marriage, how faith reshaped their family, and how God revealed their calling step by step.

This episode covers:

• Walking away from alcohol and old habits

• Finding purpose through God instead of the world

• Marriage restoration and spiritual growth

• Why drinking isn’t a sin - but losing control matters

• How God speaks through Scripture, not just sermons

• Raising children with Christ-centered values

• Trusting God’s timing even when the path feels unclear
