In this episode of Wake Up Look Up, Zach Weihrauch tackles a subtle but powerful form of temptation: the cultural obsession with wealth as entertainment. Sparked by a thought-provoking Atlantic article titled Money Is Ruining Television, Zach explores how modern shows—from glossy dramas to flashy reality TV—are shaping our hearts and values in ways we often don't notice.

This conversation will challenge you to think more deeply about what you consume, why it matters, and how the gospel gives us a better way.Have an article you'd like Pastor Zach to discuss?
