Cult of the Lamb from the Perspective of Jesus | Nerdy Sermon
Yep - you read that title right. We’re going to talk about it. I have to be honest that this whole topic makes me crazy uncomfortable, but I couldn’t help myself. I mean, if you want me to play your rogue-lite cult simulator game, then you better make it with adorable art and a ding-a-dang farming sim structure.
Y’all know I’m a sucker for that Stardew Valley style of gaming. I had to dive into this game.
And what I found when I started playing Cult of the Lamb was a brutally fair depiction of cult behavior. It’s hilarious. It’s disturbing. It’s adorable. And it’s brutal. And I loved every second of it. But can Cult of the Lamb teach us anything as Christians? Can it do anything other than just make us question our own indoctrination? I think it’s a great way to understand what sets the Lamb of God apart from this leel lamb. So let’s talk about it.
Welcome to Checkpoint Church - where nerds, geeks, and gamers come together to talk about faith, games, and if it’s good enough for Hideo Kojima, it’s good enough for me. I’m your Nerd Pastor Nate. If you like these weekly deep-dives, be sure to sub and hit that bell to find out when our next one drops.
