In this episode of Pod Have Mercy, we welcome theologian and author Gisela H. Kreglinger, whose work invites us to rediscover wine as a gift from God, encouraging hospitality, joy, and spiritual attentiveness. Growing up on her family’s winery in Franconia, Germany, Gisela blends the sensory intimacy of winemaking with deep theological reflection. With a PhD in Historical Theology from the University of St. Andrews, she has written extensively on wine’s place in Scripture, the church, and our everyday lives.
