Unashamed Truth
The Christian and Alcohol
Mar 18, 2026
Grant Castleberry

In this episode, Grant Castleberry turns to a question many Christians have wrestled with at some point. How should a believer think about alcohol?

With careful attention to Scripture and years of pastoral experience, Grant walks through what the Bible actually says. He shows that alcohol is presented as a gift from God, yet also carries serious warnings when it is misused. The issue is not simply drinking, but the loss of self-control that leads to drunkenness and its consequences.

This conversation moves through several key themes. 

• What Scripture teaches about enjoying God’s gifts.

• The real dangers and damage caused by alcohol abuse. 

• The call for believers to live sober-minded and disciplined lives. 

• The importance of loving others well by considering the weaker brother. 

• And the role of wisdom, especially for those in leadership.

This is a thoughtful and honest episode that brings biblical clarity to a complicated issue.
