As we've been digging into Season 4: Jesus, Gamers, and Church we've explored many different types of gaming church, and we're seeing many different people with different skill sets fit into different roles. Gaming church is a beautiful picture where churches, missionaries, and moderators all come together to create not just a single church, but a fully functioning ministry! Church planters know of this idea (revived in recent years by Alan Hirsch and others) called APEST & the Fivefold Ministry. Modern Church Planters (and arguably all church leaders) should be encouraged to build out their leadership teams representing APEST: Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Shepherds and Teachers. As we dig into each role, we recognize the strengths and weaknesses of each role, but more than that, we see how APEST works together best when these roles are unified, when they work together. How does APEST apply to Gaming Church, and to Gaming Culture? Let's find out when we ask Lux Digital Church's Mark Lutz, as well as Zach Miller from Storyland Studios (and Nerd Culture Ministry Collective) as we explore APEST in Gaming Church. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thechurchdigital/message

Mel has continued that practice, called spatial storytelling, at Storyland Studios. Mel has led teams that have won multiple Solomon Awards for “Best Church Architect,” and “Best Builder.” He was named one of the top 25 influencers by OC Metro Magazine, is a contributing editor to Outreach Magazine, and an Adjunct Professor at the College of Architecture, Visual Arts & Design at Cal Baptist University.

On today's IGN The Fix: Games, Halo Infinite has a final release date, confirmed after leaks earlier today: December 8. Announced during the Gamescom Xbox Stream 2021, we saw a brand new story trailer for Halo Infinite's first free-to-play multiplayer season, featuring a new character, Commander Laurette Agryna, and her history with the Spartans. Commander Agryna is responsible for training new Spartan recruits at the Academy in Halo Infinite, which serves as the hub for the game's multiplayer campaign and integrates it into the main story. The California Department of Fair Employment & Housing [DFEH] updated its lawsuit against Activision Blizzard today, adding temp workers to the original complaint while accusing the publisher of withholding key documents. Axios was the first to report on the updated lawsuit. One of the key passages says that "documents and records have not been maintained as required by law" and that "documents related to investigations and complaints were shredded by human resource personnel and emails are deleted 30 days after an employee's separation." It seems that Nintendo won't be the only game developer with a theme park, as Ubisoft plans to open one of their own. While the plans aren't new, first appearing in 2015, Ubisoft has recently partnered with Storyland Studios to create attractions at the park. Two of these include VR experiences based on the Assassin's Creed and Prince of Persia franchises. Imagine diving from a church steeple in VR! Kim has all that in your Daily Fix!
