Find Peace in the Struggle. There is a Path Forward.

Are you a Christian who feels trapped, ashamed, or exhausted by your relationship with alcohol? You believe in grace, but you only feel guilt. You want freedom, but the paths of strict abstinence or uncontrollable drinking both seem like a lonely, uphill battle.

This is a place of hope, not of judgment. Welcome to Grateful Truce.

We are a dedicated Christian ministry that serves believers struggling with alcohol. Our mission is to offer a compassionate, biblically-grounded path to a sustainable peace—a “Truce.” We provide free, daily resources that focus on grace, community, moderation, and practical steps, helping you move from a cycle of shame to a life of purpose and freedom in Christ.

This ministry, and all we do here, is dedicated to serving Jesus Christ, whose power is made perfect in our struggles and whose grace meets us in our acceptance.

Take the First Step Toward Your Truce Today.
It’s free, it’s practical, and it’s delivered straight to you.
