Ask the Pastors (Gambling, Fasting & Liturgical Feast Days)

You’ve probably heard us talk about emailing questions on almost every episode, right? Well, based on popular demand–you asked questions, and we answered them! Join Pastors John, Drew, Matt E., and Rich as they discuss questions submitted over the course of the TreasureCast in this new “Ask the Pastors” style podcast.

The questions that are addressed in this episode include:

-         Should Christians fast, and if so, how should we do it?

-         What is gambling? Is it sinful for Christians to gamble or place bets? Are all forms of gambling the same across card games, sports games, or fantasy football leagues?

-         At Woodridge, we celebrate three of the five evangelical feast days. Why don’t we celebrate Ascension and Pentecost?

Join us in this discussion as we take these questions head-on, see what scripture says, and go down some fun glory trails in the process! We’d love to hear your thoughts–Email us at treasurecast@woodridge.cc with questions, feedback or suggestions for future episodes.
