What Does the Bible Say About Alcohol Pt 1 | Ep. 9

In this episode, Dr. Tim Pollock addresses a question Christians ask often—but one that is frequently answered emotionally, culturally, or defensively: What does the Bible really say about drinking alcohol?Rather than appealing to tradition, personal preference, or modern culture, this conversation carefully opens Scripture to examine the issue from a biblical and theological perspective. Anchored in Ephesians 5:18, Dr. Tim explains why alcohol is not merely a social issue but a spiritual one, and why Scripture consistently contrasts intoxication with being filled with the Holy Spirit.This episode explores:Why the Bible places alcohol and Spirit-filling side by sideThe difference between biblical wine and modern alcoholHow drunkenness consistently leads to spiritual and moral harmEight practical, biblical questions believers should ask about drinkingWhy God does not offer restriction to remove joy—but provides something far betterWhether you’ve wrestled with this question personally or want a clear, Scripture-based answer to share with others, this episode will help you think biblically, live wisely, and walk faithfully in a confusing world.Wisdom's Way is a production of The Home Church in Lodi, CAwww.wisdomsway.orgwww.thehomechurch.netwww.timpollock.orgIf you'd like Dr. Tim to answer a question you have, email us at [email protected]
