In this week’s Geek Devotions, guest host Drew from The Cel Cast Podcast takes the wheel for a powerful and geeky devotional inspired by Mario Kart World and Hebrews 12:1–2. Life can feel like a chaotic race — full of red shells, detours, and moments where we just want to give up. But what if the goal isn’t to come in first… but simply to finish the race?Drew explores what it means to keep moving forward in your faith, even when you stumble, and reminds us that we’re not running alone — there’s a crowd cheering you on, and Jesus already crossed the finish line to make a way for you.Check out  @TheCelCastPodcast  : https://thecelcast.podbean.com/THANK YOU TO OUR PATRONSWe’re incredibly grateful to our Devoted Patreon Geeks who help make this ministry possible:Ruiz Family, Adam Arciniega, Lady Lommax, Paul Turner, Jacob Russell, Mike Alderman, Nerd Chapel, Monster Island Film Vault, PaulJPowers.com, Michael Manacci, The Cel Cast, Savie Wilson, John Harju, Kevin Lovelace, Branson Boykin, Leah Miller, Brianna Sheagley — and so many more.Thank you for your continued support!SUPPORT GEEK DEVOTIONSWant to help us keep doing what we do?

What is faith, really? Is it just believing harder, or is there something deeper going on?In this first episode of our new 4-part series Discovering Faith, we dive into Hebrews 11 to uncover a biblical understanding of faith, one that blends the testimony of the past, conviction in the present, and bold action into the future.Whether you're into anime, comics, or gaming, we’ve all seen those moments when a hero is called to step out, not just because they believe, but because something inside them knows it's time. That’s what real faith looks like.📖 Scripture Reference: Hebrews 11:1🧠 We’ll explore:Why faith isn't just emotional or intellectualHow the testimonies of others spark our own journeyWhat it means to step forward even when things feel uncertain🙌 Stick around for the full series:1️⃣ What is Faith?

Can a game like House Flipper really teach us something about faith?

This week, I took on a student’s challenge to create a devotion from one of the chillest games out there. Turns out, flipping virtual houses has a lot to say about spiritual growth. We don’t start with all the skills, we grow over time. And as we grow, we start to see things we never noticed before.

Scripture reference: 1 Timothy 4:15

"Practice these things. Be committed to them so that your progress may be evident to all."

If you're into geek culture, love Jesus, and want to grow in your faith — you're in the right place.

Let us know in the comments: Has a game ever taught you something deeper than expected?

This week on Geek Devotions, Celeste shares her honest thoughts after finishing The Will of the Many by James Islington, a book that unexpectedly sparked a lot of emotions and thought. One specific quote stood out:“The man who is never nervous, never does anything hard. A man who is never nervous, never grows.”In this devotional, we unpack how that quote parallels biblical wisdom from Philippians 4:10–13. What does it really mean to face challenges while choosing contentment in Christ? And how do we grow in faith through hard seasons?📖 Referenced Scripture:Philippians 4:10–13📚 Book Mentioned:The Will of the Many by James IslingtonTHANK YOU TO OUR PATRONSWe’re incredibly grateful to our Devoted Patreon Geeks who help make this ministry possible:Ruiz Family, Adam Arciniega, Lady Lommax, Paul Turner, Jacob Russell, Mike Alderman, Nerd Chapel, Monster Island Film Vault, PaulJPowers.com, Michael Manacci, The Cel Cast, Savie Wilson, John Harju, Kevin Lovelace, Branson Boykin, Leah Miller, Brianna Sheagley — and so many more.Thank you for your continued support!SUPPORT GEEK DEVOTIONSWant to help us keep doing what we do?

This week on Geek Devotions, we’re tackling something a lot of us wrestle with: feeling like a failure.Whether it’s in your family, your ministry, your job, or just your personal walk with God, that voice can creep in and make you question everything. “Am I really doing enough? Am I just letting people down?” It’s something Dallas has felt too, and in this episode, he shares some reminders on how to overcome those feelings.Key verses in this episode:John 1:121 John 3:1Romans 8:15Ephesians 2:102 Corinthians 12:92 Timothy 4:7THANK YOU TO OUR PATRONSWe’re incredibly grateful to our Devoted Patreon Geeks who help make this ministry possible:Ruiz Family, Adam Arciniega, Lady Lommax, Paul Turner, Jacob Russell, Mike Alderman, Nerd Chapel, Monster Island Film Vault, PaulJPowers.com, Michael Manacci, The Cel Cast, Savie Wilson, John Harju, Kevin Lovelace, Branson Boykin, Leah Miller, Brianna Sheagley — and so many more.Thank you for your continued support!SUPPORT GEEK DEVOTIONSWant to help us keep doing what we do?

The Void in Thunderbolts is More Real Than You Think. In this week’s Geek Devotions, Celeste dives into a surprising moment from Marvel’s Thunderbolts that touches on mental health, depression, and the power of presence. What does a superpowered fight against an invisible enemy say about real-life struggles? And how can we, as friends or believers, respond when someone feels like they’re losing to the darkness? Join us as we explore this emotional scene and how it connects to scriptures like Psalm 69.____ THANK YOUS ___________A big thank you to our Devoted Patreon Geeks who support us monthly!

Getting lost in a massive JRPG like Xenoblade Chronicles X can be overwhelming—especially when you skip the tutorial and find yourself in battles you're not ready for. But what if that same mistake is why so many Christians feel like they’re failing in their faith? In this episode of Geek Devotions, Dallas shares a hard-earned lesson from gaming that just might explain why burnout, frustration, and spiritual confusion are more common than you think. ____ THANK YOUS ___________A big thank you to our Devoted Patreon Geeks who support us monthly!

Star Wars: Episode III didn’t get much love when it first hit theaters, but something’s changed. Why are fans seeing it differently 20 years later—and what does that have to do with our walk with God?
