In this episode of the Daily Bible Refresh, Dr. Brad Miller offers insightful reflections on 1 Corinthians 10:23–11:2, exploring Christian freedom from a progressive point of view. He emphasizes that living well is about helping others live well, rather than simply doing as one pleases. Dr. Miller encourages thoughtful decisions at the dinner table and in life, highlighting the importance of compassion, hospitality across differences, and aligning actions with gratitude and love.

Takeaways:

1. Christian freedom aims to benefit others—true liberty is found in loving, supporting, and lifting up neighbors, especially the vulnerable.
2. Decisions should be guided by conscience as compassion, being considerate of how actions impact others rather than obsessively policing every detail.
3. Hospitality is practiced by welcoming those with differing beliefs, while maintaining personal convictions and never endorsing harm.
4. Regularly apply “joy,” “neighbor,” and “witness” checks to ensure choices align with gratitude, compassion, and Christlike love.
