2023 is coming to an end very soon! I can’t believe time has gone by so quickly, yet that’s how I feel every year and I’m sure many people do as well. Time is a delicate resource we cannot gain more of and I try to remember that daily to keep me focused and living […]
It’s October 31st, and you know what that means! One of the most controversial days of the year is here again and oftentimes it can cause debates over whether it should be practiced or not. Is it just about trick-or-treating, costumes, and candy or is there a more sinister design behind Halloween and its history? […]
Over the years of running Gaming & God, I’ve received emails, messages, or chats on Discord about the effects of video games on our walk with Christ.

It sure has been a while since I posted anything for this column, but I’m back with more retro goodness! I haven’t dived into any emulator or ROMs yet, as I have quite a backlog of old games that I can access via Nintendo Switch Online, Steam, Amazon gaming and PS Plus. In that way, […]
