Are you curious about exploring a healthier relationship with alcohol but unsure how to go about it? Do you find yourself relying on alcohol to cope with stress, boredom, or emotions, yet feeling conflicted about its impact on your health and well-being? Join us for our Ridge Women Sober Curious Challenge: 5-Week Bible Study + Daily Accountability and Encouragement
Please note: The book for this study – Look Alive, Sis! – must be purchased by the participant.
How many times have you closed the pages of a completed Bible study or class, thankful for all you’ve learned, and thought, “I’ll never forget these truths—I’m going to be different because of them”—only to find yourself a few weeks later wondering, “What was that thing I was sure I’d never forget?”
Many of us might feel this tension during the Sober Curious journey. We want to learn, grow, and change—but old patterns creep back in, and the Christian life can begin to feel exhausting or discouraging.
But what if there were real hope that things could truly be different? What if what Christ has done for us could move beyond head knowledge into transforming power in our daily lives—especially when we walk it out together in authentic relationships marked by grace and truth?
That’s what this follow-up study is all about. Join us as we discover God’s beautiful work of making us holy and whole—becoming who God already sees us to be.
Becoming Study Dates:
Mondays, 03.09 - 05.11 | 6-8pm
Wednesdays, 03.04 - 05.06 | 9:30-11:30am

Laura was born and raised in the sunny state of CALIFORNIA!!! She grew up in Southern California, where she enjoyed her summers at the beach, and then moved to Northern California, where she attended college at San Jose State. She earned her degree in Child and Adolescent Development with a minor in Mathematics, but let’s be honest; she mostly went to school to play water polo. Laura, her husband, Dan, and their four kids, Cassidy, Libby, Emily, and Brady, made the trek out to Austin in August 2018. It is Laura’s great joy to have fun serving people, which is what she is doing as a ministry assistant for Embrace and Women's Ministries. While she may never get used to the weather in Texas, Laura still enjoys playing water polo, being silly with her kids, and finding any reason to go on an adventure!
