Featured musical artist:  Tauren Wells

Roundtable: Bringing Jesus Into Your Nerdy Hobbies

Fantasy novels. Video games. Cosplay. There is a growing fascination among young adults for what we call nerd culture. If you’re nerdy and proud, what does that mean for you as a Christian? Are there any concerns with content in this genre? And is there a way to bring Jesus into it? Three of our nerdiest friends are ready to dish and defend all things nerd and talk about creative and practical ways to have fun in this world while inviting God into it.

Culture: Strongholds and Scripture

Have you ever done a Bible study on the topic of addiction and bad habits? Well, now you can. Dr. Karl Benzio and Rose Ann Forte have written one, and are here to talk about it as well as why God’s Word is the answer to the strongholds, false beliefs and besetting behaviors that hold us prisoner. Whether alcohol or drugs, sex, bitterness and anger or something else, finding hope in Scripture, journaling gratitude, rewiring your thought patterns and practicing new rhythms will get you unstuck. Here’s to real and radical change in 2026!
