Just as Jesus met people in their everyday lives, we too are called to engage with the world around us, embracing new avenues of outreach and connection.
I love this so much. I’m a chaplain and most importantly a follower of Jesus who LOVES games.
I’ve always seen video games as artistic medium of telling complex and thoughtful stories.
They have given me the ability to connect with others, connect with myself, and find rest in a busy and stressful world.
I’ve gotten flak for loving them, but that has never dissuaded me from enjoying them as a hobby.
Of course, like anything, moderation is key, but I’m so thankful to live in a time where there are video games. They have brought joy and excitement in stressful times.
This is a great conversation. Yes! I agree. I would also add - why can't you do both? Gaming can be done with friends where you're building community and spurring each other along. I've had many friends that are super closed off when they're in groups, but get them on a video game and I feel like I'm counseling them in a way that I never could otherwise. Gaming is one tool out of many to remain connected and love one another.
