Ordained minister, Dr. Dennis Hall, reviews the development of gambling in the United States, the extensiveness of this activity and the amount of money that is wagered each year in America. It is a staggering amount of money with more than half of Americans participating and 70% of adults finding it morally acceptable. Dr. Hall delves into the things that drive people to gamble, concluding that it is more than just trying to increase personal wealth. It involves a spiritual longing and gambling is used to feel that hole. It is pointed out that gambling in society seems to flourish during times when the population is turning its back on churches and organized religion. Addiction to gambling is discussed, pointing out that 2% of the population suffers from this malady. Dr. Hall concludes the podcast pointing out that when you feel compelled to go to casinos, bet on sporting events and buy lottery tickets it is not just a harmless form of recreation.

Ordained minister, Dr. Dennis Hall, takes a look at the impact world-renowned pop singer, Taylor Swift, is having on generations of young people. The lyrics to her songs are vulgar and mock God and Christians. It is one thing to expose young people to lyrics that are different than what Christians believe, but it is another thing to expose them to lyrics that actually mock what Christians believe. Dr. Hall acknowledges that many Christians and their children listen to Swift’s music and uses this fact to ask what true Christians are. Dr. Hall argues that God does not actually want us to be good but is calling us to be much more. It is pointed out that being a good person is not what gets you to heaven. Dr. Hall discusses how all Christians are called to make disciples and that means we must talk to others about Jesus.

Ordained minister, Dr. Dennis Hall, analyzes comments made by rapper and record producer, Snoop Dogg on the podcast, “It’s giving.” Apparently Snoop Dogg was taken aback by a scene in the children’s movie, Lightyear, that features a lesbian couple kissing and discussing their baby. His profanity laced comments made it clear that he did not think this kind of content is appropriate in children’s movies. Dr. Hall uses this platform to talk about children being targeted in movies, books and libraries by the LBGTQ community. He points out how homosexual lifestyles are permanently embedded in our society and then describes how parents and grandparents should be responding to this environment. It is pointed out that sexual brokenness is all around us and for that reason we should be preparing our children to understand that God is calling his followers live different from what others choose to do.
