It’s easy to get caught up in doing good and putting out all your efforts towards acts of ministry – but every once in a while it’s important to remember that you aren’t a machine. That sometimes you just need … Continue reading → Continue reading
This week, we’ve got not one, but two special guests on the mics with us! Daniel Silver and Father David Subu join us to introduce us to Doxacon Prime 2018! Doxacon is a convention about Christian genre fiction and fandom, and it’s happening November 2-3, 2018, in Washington, DC. (For more information, check out the Doxacon Prime Facebook group, and follow @DoxaconPrime and @Doxacast on Twitter.) You can also hear some recordings from Doxacon and other interviews over at Ancient Faith Radio.
Daniel and Father David have a lot more to talk about […]
Sometimes things happen when you are trying to coordinate podcasts hosts with jobs, families, and responsibilities across three different states. Sometimes that means that it’s the day before an episode is supposed to release, and yet there hasn’t been a … Continue reading → Continue reading
It’s hard not to want to be “the guy.” The person everyone knows, everyone listens to, and everyone wants to be. Whether it’s the simple acknowledgment of work accomplished, the drive to do something meaningful with our lives, or just a desire to bathe in the spotlight a bit… Continue reading
Author, actor, programmer, and preacher Stephen Weese joins us for a fascinating discussion on subculture ministry! Stephen’s book God Loves the Freaks: A Guide to Subculture Ministry was one of the books we read as background material for Saving the Game when we were just starting the podcast, and it was great to finally have him on our show. We covered a lot of ground in this episode, so buckle up!
Our Patreon question this week is from Nathanael Farley, who asks “Which game system do you dislike the most, and what do you LIKE about it?”
Other things mentioned in this episode: The Grave Robbers; The Exodus Adven […]
Technological advances are everywhere – and that includes our board games. Whether it’s the increase in digital implementations of the board games we love getting to our tables or video games that take the mechanics and form of board games … Continue reading → Continue reading
Gamer and pastor Tim Decker of Christ Community Etc in Owosso, MI joins us to talk about playing support characters in our roleplaying games, in response to the eternal complaints of players who don’t want to play the cleric! We also discuss how to end a game that’s stopped being fun without any hard feelings, as Grant’s Fellowship group did, and the conclusion of Jenny’s “moidah mystery” prequel to Keep on the Borderlands. We also spend quite a lot of time answering Patreon backer “ComposerDad”, who asks whether gaming groups share the same unifying, cross-subcultural nature of churches. Once that’s done, we dive deep into ways to make t […]
What makes a game objectively bad? It was the question that was asked of the internet from the folks at Board Game Blitz on their twitter feed. Naturally, we were curious about that concept too – but not specifically because … Continue reading → Continue reading
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, gather round and hear the stories of two circuses – and the promises they make. In the first tent, you see a circus that dares to mystify and stupify you. A spectacle above all others with a soundtrack that can raise the dead, but… Continue reading
We’re back with a surprisingly focused episode on sainthood thanks to Jenny’s hard work and research! We’ve only a little bit of off-topic material to discuss: A quick word about the list of questions our Patrons send in, and a brief diversion to discuss Nintendo’s Koi Koi game played with hanafuda cards. We also answer Patreon supporter Tom Stephens’s question about the one place in the world we’d go, if we could go anywhere at all.
After that’s done, it’s time for a deep dive into sainthood. After all, we’d eventually like to do a full series on individual saints and important Church figures; but we figured we’d need a primer on saint […]
