Serving the gaming community!

The purpose of Gaming and God is to bridge the gap between gamers and God, discovering spiritual truths in the games we play.

The church can be a rough place for gamers or those that are into geeky hobbies (anime, cosplay, D&D, board games, streaming, etc). Many are looked at as “childish” or immature, but that is not always the case. The more mainstream gaming becomes, as it continues to be every year. it shows that there are people in every stage of life enjoying them. Those stereotypes of a lonely kid in his basement are gone, videogames are global and are played by hundreds of millions of people.

I want Gaming & God to be a safe place for the believer and non-believer to learn about videogames, find community with others in a positive and faith-filled environment, and just have fun playing video games together! There are benefits to play, including making friends, relieving stress, solving puzzles, learning about culture, and some games have the player accomplishing morally good tasks. Those actions in-game can translate over to real life since they can be a positive influence. The same goes for negatively influencing games, but that’s why I want to showcase games that are helpful and not harmful more than not.

Games bring people together, whether it’s LAN parties, online communities, conventions, tournaments, eSports, Twitch, podcasts, articles, Youtube or however else we connect. For that reason, I’ve made a page for sharing different communities that either I’m a part of or I vet that they are safe and welcoming to gamers. I would hate to recommend a place where someone would feel rejected, bullied, or not invited.

Beliefs

To be more specific about my faith, I am a non-denominational Christian who believes in Jesus Christ and the bible. I borrowed the BGEA (Billy Graham Evangelistic Association) for the Statement of Faith portion. They are much smarter than me in writing one, and I agree with what they wrote!

If you have any other questions about me, need prayer, or want to talk about gaming, feel free to contact me! I’m not famous, so yes, I answer every email that is sent.

The purpose of this site isn’t only to know more about video games and the spiritual aspects behind them, but also to know you’re Heavenly Father, what Christ has done for you and how to have a peace that you cannot experience outside of Him.
