In this episode, we dive into one of the most debated questions in the Christian faith: Is it a sin for believers to drink alcohol? Some see drinking as completely incompatible with holiness, while others believe the Bible allows it in moderation. We explore the scriptures, the cultural context, and what it means for Christians to live set apart today. Whether you avoid alcohol entirely or think it can be enjoyed responsibly, this conversation will challenge you to reflect on your faith, your witness, and how to honour God in a world with many opinions.
