Game Store Prophets

In this episode Mike and Luke talk about the trips they’ll be taking to GenCon Indy and Disney Land respectively. We talk about the use of gaming to introduce people into the church environment, the affect of gaming on the next generation, and explain the meaning of life . . . okay, maybe not that last bit, but the rest definitely gets talked about in this episdoe.

In this week’s episode – the guys confront the summer movie blockbusters, the Ouya, the steam trading card phenomenon and the idea of using your faith and collecting it.  Go out today and find some way to demonstrate your faith. We weren’t made to be mint-in-box and neither was our faith. It was designed to be played with. Used. And then past down to the next generation that will hopefully play with it as well.

We’re all weird.  It’s okay.  Christ is weird too.

This is the first of what may or may not be a running thing with us.  Because this major event for PC gamers happened right smack in between our regular episode schedule – we figured we’d give you guys a little bonus content.  A short episode where Luke and Mike discuss the Steam Summer Sale, titles they are paying attention to, and a few pro-tips for guiding your way through the 11 days of steam sale.

Two years ago a couple guys thought it would be fun to put together a podcast.  It started from humble beginnings where two generically geeky guys talk about generically geeky stuff from a Christian perspective.  It has evolved into a podcast where the same two guys are looking to create a new sort of ministry with the help of a listening community that is second to none.

Thanks for listening, everybody.  Luke and I really appreciate the fact that you keep coming back. Without you guys, this podcast would have ended long ago.  You continue to make it worthwhile to come back and make more content for you.  We look forward to many more years of this.  –Mike

On the surface, it may seem like this episode is set on two opposite ends of the spectrum.  On the one hand – the boys talk about the next generation gaming consoles and whether or not they’re excited for them.  On the other hand Mike and Luke talk gaming addiction/compulsion and how it is important for anyone (but especially the believer) to understand his or her relationship to gaming.
