Ep 238 - Just Do It Right: BD Fleming on Christian Liberty and the Theology of Cigar Smoking [Carpe Fide]

BD Fleming wrote a book about cigars, and it ends up being about so many good things: Christian liberty, masculine fellowship, fear of man, and whether the weaker brother should be idolized or discipled into health. Justin and Jesse bring their own receipts: a movie Bible study that got Jesse hauled into the senior pastor's office, and a youth group incident involving alcohol that got them temporarily removed from ministry. BD walks through Romans 14, 1 Corinthians 8–10, and Psalm 16:11 as they discuss the two ditches of legalism and antinomianism, why Spurgeon and CS Lewis and Tolkien and Chesterton all smoked and didn't hide it, and what it actually means to bring all of life under the Lordship of Christ. If you've ever driven two towns over to the liquor store so nobody would recognize you, this episode is both your conviction and your permission slip.
