Episode 136 – The Dignity of Listening to Their Stories

10931314_10153107041949610_3507401325325210031_nThis episode almost didn’t happen. A technical issue totally friend the audio for one of your hosts, causing the entirety of the initial recording we did for this episode to go into the trash. What was the worst part was that this wasn’t discovered until right before editing and posting the podcast on schedule. In spite of all this, we were able to get something recorded and present a special guest appearance on the podcast.

We asked Jeffrey Allers about the ministry he has in Berlin, Germany, where, among other things, he is ministering to the Syrian refugees in his city. After a brief update on games I’ve been playing and what’s going on in the news, this episode is focused on hearing how games provide dignity and minister to those who are refugees.

Episode 124 – Stewardship, Asmodee, and the Shelf of Shame

In this episode, Daniel and I give reports on continuing game-day activities of the ministry, we talk about playing Catan Junior VERY seriously, the joys of shouting with a foam gun in your hand (Ca$h ‘N Guns), and a few other titles before jumping in on talking stewardship in light of the overwhelming wave of great big-name titles that are hitting the market soon and the Asmodee policy change.
