Updated: 3 days ago
Released July 23, 2026 · With Mac and The Rev
Roll the dice. Pull the lever. Say a prayer. Hope for the best.
Mac and The Rev explore gambling and spirituality without condemning gambling outright. They’re honest about addiction and what it does to families and well-being, and they compare “give-to-get” religious thinking to a bet.
They also get practical, with advice on limits, accountability, and generosity.
The house usually wins. Just saying.
