Rediscovering Harvest Moon: Unearthing Sabbath, Selfhood, and Nostalgia | Nerdy Sermon
Join us on a journey down memory lane as we revisit one of my all-time favorite video games: Story of Seasons, known to many as Harvest Moon, A Wonderful Life. We'll explore the magic of this game and discuss its impact on my life. Additionally, we'll delve into how it can help us understand concepts of rest, acceptance, and combating toxic gaming culture. Don't forget to check our Twitch streams and Discord server for more gaming and faith discussions.

Checkpoint Church is the place where all people from all walks of life are always welcomed with loving arms. We strive to steer clear from the modern temptations of being too ‘churchy’ or judgmental. We are the safe space for those who haven’t felt welcomed by the church before.
