Inspired by the country song refrain: “God is great, beer is good, people are crazy”, Paul will explore our relationship with God, the goodness in His creation, and the appropriate Christian response to alcohol.
In this podcast, reflecting on Scripture, quotes from the saints, and personal experiences, Paul will help us better understand human nature and the allure of intoxicating drink. A home-brewer himself, Paul shares about the longstanding relationship between the Catholic Church’s religious orders and the art of beer-making. In “A Theology of Drinking,” reflect upon one of the many gifts that God has given us: beer.
