54: Is Communion only for the Perfect?

Is communion only for the sinless? What if you're divorced? Angry? Struggling with addiction? Doubting?

Can you still take the bread and cup?

In this episode of Naughty vs Nice, we tackle the most common—and often misunderstood—questions about the Lord’s Supper. We explore what Scripture actually says about being “worthy,” the cultural and covenantal context of the Last Supper, and how church traditions have sometimes distorted the invitation Jesus gave.

We’re cutting through fear-based teaching and reclaiming the truth: Communion isn’t a prize for the perfect—it’s a gift for the broken.

Whether you’ve been kept from the table or walked away from it, this conversation will challenge what you’ve heard and encourage you to come back to the core of the gospel.

Key Topics:

• What does it mean to take communion “unworthily”?

• Should divorced or remarried believers abstain?

• Is communion an individual act—or a community one?

• Why did Jesus institute it during Passover, and what does that mean for us?
