This week on Spotlight we welcome Ken Darnell, a godly man and a gambling researcher who has studied gambling from both a theological and anthropological perspective. Ken highlights the history of gambling in America and details how government switched from protecting citizens from the evils of gambling to actively promoting it for self-serving reasons. Monte, Ken, and I also consider the social cost and the addictive nature of gambling. As the podcast concludes, Ken addresses what the Bible says about gambling and why Christians should resolutely oppose it.
