Wine has shaped Christian worship, community, and spiritual formation far more than many realize. In this episode of Nuance, host Case Thorp sits down with Gisela Kreglinger and Randy Frazee to explore how wine functions as a powerful spiritual tool—rooted in scripture, hospitality, and the sacramental life of the church.
Gisela and Randy share how their personal experiences with wine have shaped their understanding of faith and community. They dive into the origins of the “Wine in the Word” study, a unique blend of theology, biblical symbolism, agrarian insights, and wine appreciation that helps believers connect more deeply with the story of God. Along the way, they unpack how wine reflects themes of suffering and abundance in the Lord’s Supper, why younger generations are rediscovering sacramental practices, and how cultural backgrounds shape our perspectives on wine in the Christian life.
Enjoy a rich and engaging episode for anyone interested in spiritual formation, Christian community, biblical studies, hospitality, and the role of wine in faith and culture.
