Description: Bridging Video Gaming and the Bible
Do you teach the tenets of your Christian faith in tandem with your children’s videogame and other online experiences? Do you make faith relevant to that part of their lives? Do you build a bridge between their Bible time and their ‘tech’ time ? Or do you tend to separate the two?
One of the most interesting ways I have found to make faith relevant to kids who are very engaged with video games, various apps, and the internet in general is to juxtapose their technology experiences with your own Bible knowledge . This is a light, well-grounded, and active way to broaden their application of faith. It merges their faith with the blue light of their screen day, preventing compartmentalization. In this way, faith moves into an area of their life often devoid of it.
Faith comes from hearing —and hearing by the word of God. And so, by speaking the Word of God into their everyday online experiences, you will pique their curiosity about how the Bible makes sense of their online lives. This dialogue will help their growing faith to penetrate their experiences. As a result, you will find even more natural, fitting ways to engage them this way.
