- Tune in every Monday for a new episode of "The Saints That Serve Podcast" -

Twenty-six Mondays and counting! As we celebrate this milestone of consistent podcasting, we dive headfirst into the blocky universe of Minecraft – a game that has maintained its cultural relevance for an astonishing fifteen years.
What makes a pixelated, seemingly simple game continue to captivate players across generations? We share our fondest Minecraft memories, from the terror of first encountering Ghasts in the Nether to building elaborate secret bases with hidden snow golem shrines. The conversation takes us through Minecraft's evolution from a survival crafting game to a platform where people have built functioning computers and recreated Middle Earth to scale.
The upcoming Minecraft movie (starring Jason Momoa and Jack Black, directed by Napoleon Dynamite's Jared Hess) sparks a lively debate about how film adaptations can capture the essence of beloved games. Between nostalgic gaming tales, we share exciting community updates – our inductive Bible study course is underway, we congratulate Dylan and Julie on their engagement, and announce the Saints that Play gaming channel launching in June.
We close with a heartfelt discussion about media experiences we miss from childhood, particularly the communal aspect of event television that streaming has largely replaced. This episode weaves together faith, gaming culture, and community in a way that reminds us why we gather each week – to connect, share stories, and celebrate the intersection of our spiritual and everyday lives.
Subscribe, follow us on social media, and join our growing community as we continue to serve through conversation, prayer, and occasionally, digital block-building adventures.
