Wake Up, Look Up

In this episode, Zach addresses the devastating impact of sports gambling, describing it as a dangerous, life-ruining behavior. Citing shocking statistics, Zach explains how sports gambling dramatically increases the risk of anxiety, depression, domestic violence, financial ruin, and even bankruptcy. He draws a parallel between sports gambling and the cigarette industry, stating that it preys on people's vulnerabilities and promises false hope. For Christians, Zach argues, sports gambling represents poor stewardship of God's resources, diverting funds away from family provision and generosity. He urges listeners to stop gambling and oppose its legalization, emphasizing the long-term harm it causes both individuals and society. Zach concludes with a strong warning: no one is immune to its destructive consequences—stop before it’s too late.
