What Defines an American?

This is The Briefing, a daily analysis of news and events from a Christian worldview.
On today’s edition of The Briefing, Dr. Mohler discusses the marketing by prediction markets to young women, how sports betting is wrecking Gen Z lives, and he answers questions about continuing to try to have children after miscarriages, what it means to be an American and if ethnicity is tied to it, and if communism is contradictory to Christianity.
