Rambling on Gambling: Some quick thoughts on Christians and sports betting

Sports betting has become an enormous issue in our culture, including going live in Kentucky just this week. Some of the Lewis House staff and one of our students sit down for a conversation with thoughts about how to begin to think about these matters. This isn't meant as any sort of final word on the subject but hopefully helps you begin to think about this growing phenomenon in our culture. Here's an article we mentioned in the talk. It's not meant as an exact statement of what we believe or think in our ministry. It's written by a former student of ours who is now a pastor. We offer it here as an interesting voice worth considering but does not represent our official position in any way. https://firebrandmag.com/articles/against-sports-betting-resisting-a-materialist-worldview
