LIVE @ Liberty - Season 3: Episode 17 (Season Finale) In this final episode of the season we talk online sports betting, prediction markets, and investing are becoming more connected in modern culture—but are they really the same thing?

We discuss the explosive rise of sports betting, the dangers of addiction and “get rich quick” thinking, and what Scripture says about diligence, contentment, and wise financial decisions. Join us as we ask: when does risk become foolishness, and what does honoring God with our finances actually look like? Plus: Mother's Day at Liberty, shoutouts, flamingos, award winners, and what was that noise?
