From raffles and bingo nights to legalized betting and wagering on world events, we ask hard questions about what we’ve normalized and why.As governments promote gambling and culture celebrates risk-taking for profit, lives, families, and communities quietly suffer. Drawing from Proverbs 28 and biblical wisdom, this conversation challenges the church to stop avoiding the topic and start warning against the lust for riches and gain without righteousness.Is chance replacing stewardship? Is silence replacing discernment? And what happens when the church mirrors the culture instead of confronting it?This episode calls believers to rethink what’s trending—and return to truth.The Voice in the Wilderness does not endorse any link or other material found at buzzsprout.More at https://www.thevoiceinthewilderness.org/
