In this session from Hutchmoot 2022, Andy Patton asks, "What Is a Christian Game?"

From smartphone apps to Amazon’s algorithms, games and game dynamics are
playing an increasingly significant role in modern life. But what is a “Christian”
game? To begin to answer that question, we have to ask a more primary
question: What does it mean to be human and how can games cause humans to
flourish in the modern world?

We call Hutchmoot a “conference for everyone,” so it follows that this is a “podcast for everyone.” This series features sessions recorded at the Rabbit Room’s annual conference which celebrates art, music, story, and faith in all their many intersections.

Church and culture often tell us that art is a nice luxury but of no use when a crisis hits or for the chronic difficulties of life. But what if art is actually a divinely gifted set of tools, a way to bear witness to our shared humanity? Sophie Killingley takes you through stories of art history and her own experiences of
grief to uncover the necessity of creativity as a sacred way to fully engage a trauma-filled world.
