Truth & Knowledge: Episode 10 – "Beer and Wisdom": In this episode, Trey Knowles discusses the spiritual implications of drinking alcohol, emphasizing that it is wise to avoid it altogether. He references Proverbs 20:1 and Proverbs 31:6-7, which caution against being misled by wine and strong drink. Trey explains that beer is described in Scripture as something for "those who are perishing"—people who are trying to forget their misery and spiritual poverty. He argues that drinking beer is a sign of forgetting one's need for Jesus and His Spirit. To live wisely and spiritually, Trey says, is to recognize our continual dependence on God. Drinking, in contrast, dulls that awareness and can lead one back into a state of spiritual poverty. The episode calls listeners to live by the Spirit of God and leave behind anything, like alcohol, that draws them away from Him.
