In this Straight Bible episode, we tackle one of the most controversial and misunderstood topics in modern Christianity: eating, drinking, the Sabbath, and freedom in Christ. Was Jesus really accused of being a drunkard? Did the law have a beginning—and an end? Are Christians still bound by Sabbath observance, dietary laws, and religious rules? Using Romans 14, Colossians 2, Galatians 3, and the words of Jesus Himself, we break down why the Kingdom of God is not food, drink, or holy days—but righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit. This episode confronts religious legalism head-on and calls believers back to a living, obedient relationship with God, not external rule-keeping. If you’ve ever wrestled with law vs grace, Christian freedom, or judgment within the church—this conversation is for you.
