Thanks for joining us for our latest episode: idolatry of entertainment. In this episode, we discuss what has become a major problem for many professing Christians: making entertainment of all kinds an idol.

This recording is from the beginning of the Covid-19 shutdowns last year. It's funny how relevant some of these things still are and which ones have fallen by the wayside.

We discuss covid-19, out of context bible verses and scripture, homescho...
