Sports, Idolatry, and Christian Responsibility: When Winning Replaces Worship

By Peter Demos Published on October 17, 2025

In this 30-minute video, Peter Demos examines how the obsession with sports has replaced integrity, faith, and truth — even in Christian culture. From controversial calls in the recent Auburn vs. Georgia football game to deception and hypocrisy in coaching, this episode challenges believers to confront the idolatry of sports head-on.
