In this episode, Tony and Josh have something to say: they’re… sorry?

As the season progressed, they realized they had overlooked one of the most important parts of the game: having fun! Character creation, roleplaying, rules, and creative tools give us plenty to think about, but overthinking can distract from what matters most at the table.

Tony and Josh discuss moments that stifled their creativity, how they overcame them, and what to do when the game stops feeling fun. Then, for the first time, they put that lesson into practice with a mini homebrew adventure.

They also tackle a difficult spiritual topic: idol worship. What is an idol, how can even good things take God’s place, and how does that damage our walk with Him? Together, they explore how surrendering those idols can lead to renewal and transformation.

Buckle up. This one gets honest, authentic, and convicting.

Under the Influence

In this episode, Tony & Josh are joined by Jerry and Levi from Christian Influence, a digital ministry where the mission is to cultivate “a digital community centered on faith and fellowship to disciple believers and guide seekers towards a transformative heart change for Jesus.” The way these gentlemen do that is through the video game community primarily. They also run a D&D actual play show called, “Of Lore and Legend,” bringing to life the first clean and Christ oriented D&D actual play to digital media. Jerry and Levi are trailblazers for the D&D community, and all of the boys join together as brothers in Christ to have fun and discuss what more is out there for gaming ministries and how to walk in that.

Our world is growing more technologically advanced year after year. We have seen the rapid expanse and usage of something in particular over the past few years: Artificial Intelligence. With AI rising, it has shown to have many capabilities, including content creation, artwork, music, and much more. The true question to unpack is how this has been utilized in D&D in a creative way. Has it been beneficial or harmful to the gaming community? Tony and Josh unpack what AI is and their opinions and insights on how AI has impacted D&D and how to balance this tool with our own creativity.

Tony and Josh also unpack what AI has done for anxiety within the Christian lifestyle. With such a resource at our disposals, we run the risk of information overload, thus producing overthinking, over worrying, and anxious mentalities. They have a great discussion on not running to AI for everything and, instead, leaning on the Holy Spirit for our guidance and to cultivate the ground of our hearts.
