Episode 394 – The Casinofication of Church
from Beyond Sunday · host Lord of Life Lutheran Church
Sports betting is everywhere—but what happens when the “casinofication” of culture starts shaping the church too? This week we dive into a thought-provoking article from Christianity Today and ask whether churches are losing community, identity, and formation in a world built around algorithms, individualism, and constant dopamine hits. We talk sports, gambling, discipleship, and what it means to keep the gospel as the game itself instead of just another tool.
