Is Having a Drink a Sin? Biblical Insights on Christian Liberty & Maturity | The Well Podcast S9E14

Can Christians drink alcohol? In this episode of The Well Podcast, Pastor Phil Hopper and host Les Norman address one of the most debated issues in the church today. Referencing 1 Corinthians 6:12 and Galatians 5, they show why Scripture permits liberty yet clearly warns against drunkenness and a life ruled by the flesh.

They discuss how to distinguish personal convictions from doctrine, navigate the tension between legalism and “anything goes mentality,” and practice healthy accountability in areas like alcohol and entertainment. If you’ve wrestled with what freedom in Christ should look like in everyday decisions, this episode offers biblical insight and practical guidance for living a Spirit-led, surrendered life.
