CAUTION – MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD For the Marvel fan, it’s pretty common knowledge Daredevil’s Matt Murdock is guided by his Catholic faith. The arc by Kevin Smith, called “Guardian Devil”, really amplifies this element of Murdock, which Season 3 of [...]

(This post contains many spoilers on the fairly recent game Celeste. Do not read if it’s one you intend to play blind. Check out the GUG review here!) In a world where society decries the artistic and relatable value of video games, there’s a little [...]

I’m sorry this blog about Avengers: Infinity War is so late after the premiere. I needed the therapy. Jokes aside, by now it’s no spoiler to say that the last installment in the MCU was quite dark. After seeing this movie riddled with death and [...]

I want to talk about being born of the spirit because I think it answers two important questions people have about Christian life. First, what does it mean to be saved, and second what does it mean to be filled with the spirit, or baptized in the holy [...]

I’ve heard a lot of people say our purpose as Christians is to get everyone saved and evangelism is the primary Christian virtue and calling. But that idea begs the obvious question, what happens after evangelism? In fact I think a lot of the things [...]

None of us like to be told that we are wrong, much less admit to ourselves that we really have made mistakes. The devil is good at using guilt, shame, and fear to hold us back from engaging in repentance with God. Those feelings are powerful, and can lead [...]

I don’t go much for the dark, apocalyptic games – the post-disaster worlds where amorality rules, with parables on mankind’s fate to destroy itself. While the look at our fallen nature is certainly apropos, these typically secular games [...]

I want to talk about our walk with God, and the “how” in our growth process. When we are trying to become more mature, what is that supposed to look like? The more Christians I meet, the more I am amazed and perplexed at how Christian life [...]

A geek should find time to be with nature. Maybe it’s because I was brought up by an avid outdoorsman, but I need my moments out in the trees, in the mountains, or by the shoals of a slow river. Some experiences just aren’t the same through a [...]

(This is a piece I wrote after a sermon I heard on the freedom of Christ; how he is able to break our bondage from even the fiercest sins. We often forget we’ve been made saints through Jesus’ sacrifice; he is able to release us even while we [...]

Did you ever notice how all the stories in the Bible are captivating? It’s full of well-told stories about people doing weird and interesting things in the name of the Lord or even against it. I mean sure, there are some boring entries about Old [...]

In this month’s anime collaboration article, we ask the age-old question: “What would be the Apostle Paul’s favorite anime?” Because we have no real reason not to ask such a question. Check out the Pauline picks we’ve penned [...]

What would you do to conquer a fear? We have capsule anxieties we talk about overcoming: Vertigo brought on by heights or disquiet toward certain critters or bugs, maybe (moths are pure evil, and you can’t convince me otherwise). We might also shy away [...]

Everything is relative, nothing is definitive, and all religions are true…I hear this over and over again. These days, I hear all the time about spirituality, acceptance, tolerance, and the relative nature of Truth. It’s become normal for me [...]

Non-attachment is an idea born out of Eastern religion based on the idea life is suffering and therefore peace/Nirvana/heaven/enlightenment is non-attachment and/or a quiet mind. While the idea itself is flawed (having a skewed view of love and desire), [...]
