Join Pastors Zack and Josh in this vital episode of "Wisdom for the Wilderness" as they courageously tackle the pervasive topic of alcohol from a deeply rooted biblical perspective. Far from a simple "yes or no" answer, this discussion dives into the wisdom of Scripture to equip believers with principles for navigating a culture saturated with drink. Drawing from key passages like Ephesians 5:18, where we are commanded not to be drunk with wine, but filled with the Spirit, and the sobering warnings found in Proverbs 23:29-35, which vividly depict the destructive consequences of excessive drinking, Zack and Josh will illuminate the true dangers of alcohol. They'll also explore the balanced wisdom of Proverbs 31:4-7, understanding its context regarding rulers and those in distress, and how it informs our approach to self-control and responsibility.
This episode isn't about legalism, but about liberty in Christ – a freedom that empowers us to make choices that honor God, protect our witness, and lead to abundant life — while not being a stumbling block to fellow believers. Prepare to be challenged, encouraged, and guided by the timeless truth of God's Word as we seek true wisdom for the wilderness of modern life.
