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?
