Gambling Is God’s Tax on Those Who Don’t Understand Math

Gambling Is God’s Tax on Those Who Don’t Understand Math13 jul33 min

Sports betting, prediction markets, fantasy sports, and online gambling are capturing the focus of many young men. But what does Scripture say? Hosts Scott Brown and Jason Dohm are joined by Michael Foster to examine the heart behind gambling and the crucial difference between Polymarket, the stock market, and biblical investing. As Foster observes, “Fundamentally, gambling is a tax on people whose hearts are not satisfied with God.” Together they explore why Christians should seek to create value through diligent labor. Their charge: Build, don’t gamble! As stewards of God’s resources, we’re called to bear one another’s burdens — not profit from them.
