22. God and gaming

This week we have Zaden, video game aficionado, joining us in the house. We’ve all heard about the dark side of video games being designed to be more and more addictive to steal more and more of our time. But Zaden wants to tell us about the potential video games have, not just to be something different, but to change your life for the better. Listen to hear the chat about how you can co-create with God. Is God calling you into game design? Can you imagine a world where people worked with God to design video games?

21. Positive prayer life, positive self talk

Today in the house, our friend Hannah joins us to tell us about her recent journey of taking control over how she thinks. Practicing prayer like how they do it in the Psalms has resulted in less shame and more mental discipline for her. Would it work for you? We’d love to hear from you too! Tell us about your top tips, or the scriptures you use to battle a negative mindset with truth.
