Spiritual Resources

Whether you’re a seeker or already walking with Christ, I want this to be a space where you can grow and be equipped on your spiritual journey.

Just like in video games, the more experience and knowledge you gain, the stronger and more prepared you become to face greater challenges. Life works the same way — growing in faith helps you stand firm through whatever comes your way.

Here, I’ll be sharing a collection of my favorite books, podcasts, YouTube channels, ministries, and other resources that have impacted me during my 20+ years of following Christ. While I love gaming devotionals and digital ministries (and I’ll include those too), I also want to highlight tools that go beyond just those.

I’m not perfect — I’m still learning every day, whether it’s through Scripture or from people wiser than me. Think of this page like a gear shop in your favorite RPG: browse through, pick what stands out, and equip yourself for the journey ahead.

If you know a resource I should add, reach out via comments, social media, or email. I’d love to check it out.

Let’s level up our faith together. God bless!

“But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.” 2 Peter 3:18 (ESV)
