Episode 160: Christianity and Video Games - With Nick Peters
Manage episode 374062990 series 3116389
In today's episode, I have Nick Peters of Deeper Waters ministries on the podcast. Nick Peters is a Christian Apologist and theologian who has recently devoted his research to, believe it or not, video games! Specifically, video games and the psychology surrounding it as well as the theological aspects of it. In fact, he gave an entire talk at the Defend conference last year on this very subject. Why do people play video games? Why are so many adults interested in video games? Is there anything particularly wrong with adults playing video games? And what would happen if we took life as seriously as we took video games? These topics and more are discussed in this episode.
