Did Jesus Drink Wine? Communion, Alcohol, and Judas

In this episode of Call Him Father, Micah and Pastor Taylor talk about Bible translations, alcohol, drunkenness, communion, and the story of Judas. They start with a lighter conversation about the Bible app, paper Bibles, Bible translations, and why Taylor generally recommends translations like the ESV and NIV while warning against weaker paraphrases and unreliable translations. From there, they ask whether Jesus drank wine, what the Bible actually says about alcohol, and where Christians should draw the line between drinking and drunkenness. They discuss personal conscience, wisdom, addiction history, caring for your body as a temple, and why the Bible condemns drunkenness without creating rules God did not make. The conversation then moves into communion and why the Lord’s Supper should be approached with reverence. Taylor explains why communion is not just a casual religious ritual, why unbelievers should not feel embarrassed staying seated, and why Christians should examine their hearts before coming to the table. Finally, they talk about Judas, whether he went to heaven or hell, what his betrayal reveals about sin, money, false discipleship, and the difference between Judas and Peter. Both betrayed Jesus, but Peter returned to Christ and received grace, while Judas did not.

How Should Christians Handle Thirst Traps?

How should Christians handle thirst traps, lust, and temptation online? In this episode of Call Him Father, Micah and Pastor Taylor talk about modesty, social media, lust, pornography, and how young Christians should respond to sexual temptation in a hypersexualized online world. They discuss what the Bible says about modesty, why attention and validation can become addictive, how social media algorithms work against purity, and why both men and women are called to honor God with how they present themselves. They also get practical about what to do when thirst traps show up in your feed, why unfollowing or blocking accounts can be a wise step, how young men can build real guardrails against lust, and why “premeditated sin” often starts with small compromises that seem harmless at first. The conversation also touches on joy and happiness, asking whether God actually wants Christians to be happy and why the gospel should produce real joy in the life of a believer.
