Do you want your tax dollars supporting an industry that relies on addiction, drains families’ wealth, and targets the most vulnerable?

In this special episode of The Narrative, CCV President Aaron Baer, Policy Director David Mahan, and Communications Director Mike Andrews are joined by gambling experts Les Bernal and Dr. Jonathan Krutz, along with school administrator Mark Mousa, to unpack the dangerous rise of predatory gambling in Ohio—and why Christians must take a stand. 

This isn't just about gambling. It’s about who pays the price. From alarming suicide rates to billions in personal wealth lost, this conversation reveals the hidden costs of state-sponsored gambling and what it means for the Church, for families, and for our future.
