Faith and Alcohol: A New Perspective

If you’ve ever felt trapped in the battle with alcohol—caught between the shame of relapse and the prison of man-made absolutes—you are not alone.

We’ve been handed a script that doesn’t work: “Just pray harder.” “Use more willpower.” But what happens when your willpower is gone? When you feel like your struggle means you’ve failed God?

That script is broken. And clinging to it isn’t faithfulness—it’s folly.

In this week’s episode of the Grateful Truce podcast, we tear down the walls to look at what the Bible actually says about alcohol, grace, and a path to peace. This is a raw, real conversation for those who are exhausted by the cycle and desperate for a different way.

In this episode, we dive into:

The Controversial Truth: Can you be a Christian and still drink? We examine the Scripture, not the stereotypes.
The Willpower Lie: Why relying on sheer discipline sets you up for failure, and what to lean on instead.
A Lifeline for Right Now: A direct, practical 4-step plan for anyone fighting a craving today.

This isn’t about easy answers. It’s about honest hope. It’s about finding a Truce.

Find Peace in the Struggle. There is a Path Forward.

Are you a Christian who feels trapped, ashamed, or exhausted by your relationship with alcohol? You believe in grace, but you only feel guilt. You want freedom, but the paths of strict abstinence or uncontrollable drinking both seem like a lonely, uphill battle.

This is a place of hope, not of judgment. Welcome to Grateful Truce.

We are a dedicated Christian ministry that serves believers struggling with alcohol. Our mission is to offer a compassionate, biblically-grounded path to a sustainable peace—a “Truce.” We provide free, daily resources that focus on grace, community, moderation, and practical steps, helping you move from a cycle of shame to a life of purpose and freedom in Christ.

This ministry, and all we do here, is dedicated to serving Jesus Christ, whose power is made perfect in our struggles and whose grace meets us in our acceptance.
