Hunting season is upon us, but should Christians participate? Is it immoral to kill an animal, especially if it's not a threat to you? Are we dishonoring God by killing his creation?

In today’s episode, Pastor Jackie and Pastor Derek talk through the morality of hunting as well as biblical examples of killing animals for food. We discuss immoral ways to hunt and look at why those should be avoided, then seek to give a clear guide as to how the Bible portrays hunting. Our hope is that as you listen, you would have a clearer understanding of the biblical side of hunting and an informed take on what God has to say about stewarding this earth.

The 17:17 podcast is a ministry of Roseville Baptist Church (MN) that seeks to tackle cultural issues and societal questions from a biblical worldview so that listeners discover what the Bible has to say about the key issues they face on a daily basis. The 17:17 podcast seeks to teach the truth of God's Word in a way that is glorifying to God and easy to understand with the hope of furthering God's kingdom in Spirit and in Truth.
