302 — Should Christians Drink Alcohol?

from unCOMFORTABLE · host Christ Community Church Omaha

This week, we tackle one of Christianity's most emotionally charged debates — whether Christians should drink alcohol — exploring what Scripture actually says, how church history shaped our assumptions, and how to hold freedom and wisdom together in a culture built around drinking. Joined by Dr. Karl Pagenkemper, we're not looking for loopholes; we're after something better: a way to live free, self-controlled, and deeply loving toward others.DISCLAIMER: The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the cast members and guests.

NEWMORROW SESSIONS - A PodCast Series on the Future of Hospitality Mario C. Bauer, Florian Schneider, Axel Weber & Dr. Tillman Bardt The Newmorrow PodCast is more than a podcast — it's a platform for open dialog on the future of our business, a platform for those building what doesn’t exist yet. Here, we share and embrace our passion for the hospitality industry, but we won’t romanticize the journey. We ask the tough questions, confront uncomfortable truths, and prepare for a future that resists easy answers. We believe that the tougher and wilder times become, the more openly, honestly and humanely people need to talk to each other and act together. We believe, openness, togetherness, and truthfulness should also be cornerstones of a professional community to develop our utopian idea of „open source“. This is a space where visionaries don’t just imagine the future — they wrestle with the paradoxes that shape it: success vs. happiness, data vs. instinct, stability vs. reinvention. Join leaders, entrepreneurs, and thinkers as they share not what made them — but what’s actively shaping them, now and next.
