2/3 of Americans game. In fact, there are more gamers over the age of 45 than there are under the age of 18 (ESA, 2022). This is why Brent Dusing created TruPlay games, to be a light on purpose in a space where so many people go for purpose. You don't have to become a gamer to appreciate this. Each of us can think about what God has equipped us to do, what passions he's planted in our hearts, and how He might use our talents to spread the Good News and share the hope of the Gospel — maybe even in video games.Check out TruPlay: https://truplay.games/GospelTechShow Notes: https://bit.ly/3riok6D

Fund conversations that matter: donate.accessmore.com We are wrapping up season 2 (already!) and this conversation is the perfect way to end our conversation on Finding Purpose.  When you start dating someone, or are thinking about getting married, it's pretty common to make sure the people closest to you (especially family) give input on whether your partner is a good fit or not.  Different cultures have different ways of giving “permission” before two families get connected. But when it comes to stepping into your purpose, do you need “permission”?  Do you need to wait for things to look good?  For you to feel ready?  Or for your next right step to match what other people approve of?  Jesus went before us and occupied different spaces, which gives us permission to do the same. He is our ultimate permission-giver. We are firmly secure in Christ, and no one's approval or rejection, no uncomfortable or risky space – nothing can take away that security we have in Him.   Listen in as Heather kicks off this episode with a rapid fire Q+A with Candace, and ask yourself  - would you rather reveal your Netflix watch list or your Music playlists?!  Thank you Heather for being part of this season, and offering a wealth of wisdom and encouragement each week!   In this episode, you will hear Candace and Heather discuss:  Needing (or waiting for) permission to take a step into a new space or a next step in life   How God gives us permission to step into our purpose, even if it doesn't look perfect or we feel ready  Spaces Jesus had to occupy so that we could have permission to occupy our own spaces   Head to Candace.com to download the FREE guide, and to order Heather's latest book, Right Where You Belong.   For all things mentioned in this episode head over to https://ccbpodcast.com/episodes/season-2/12  Thank you to this episode's sponsors:  AccessMore https://www.accessmore.com/TruPlay: TruPlay.com

In this episode, Jeff and Brent discuss: The seeds of belief that are waiting to bloom. God's unique hand in our individual lives. The inputs and outcomes of social media and the changing digital landscape. Using the current digital pipelines to replace the activities and behaviors.   Key Takeaways: Wherever there is a screen, there is going to be an ad. As the screen size decreases, the tolerance for ads decreases. The changing of gameplay styles with Facebook and other micro-transaction games allowed for the opening of new styles of games. Anxiety, suicide, and depression rates are at all-time highs for kids. The trajectory exactly matches the rise of social media on smartphones.The ability to get toxic content is almost insistent and is being accessed by children more and more frequently than at any other time in history and it is having detrimental effects on their life.   "It's not about the medium, it's about the message and the content." —  Brent Dusing About Brent Dusing: Brent Dusing is the CEO and founder of TruPlay, a gaming platform created to bring high-quality, fun, and biblically-sound entertainment to audiences worldwide.

Welcome to the Love Where You Are podcast!  In today's episode I am joined with Brent Dusing.  Brent Dusing created TruPlay to bring beautiful and biblically authentic entertainment to audiences worldwide. Brent is a pioneering, Harvard graduate, entrepreneur with a heart for creating games with God at the center, giving kids and parents an experience that is safe and fun! He has led an exceptional career and God continues to bless his team's efforts to bring TruPlay as an alternative on kid's devices.  In today's conversation, Brent and Somer talk about why a safe, Christian gaming alternative is so critical right now. Kids will spend on average fifty-two and a half hours per week on a device, while kids may only go to church with their parents once a week that lasts about an hour. Our culture is quickly crumbling, and parents should be equipped with the best tools and alternatives to build a stable and strong foundation for their families, so they want to learn more about God and be closer to Him. Thank you for being here today. Now, let's dive into the conversation!  Check out TruPlay!    FAVORITE TAKE-AWAYS: *Kids are on devices on average fifty-two and a half hours per week. What are they doing on those devices? Playing videogames, watching Netflix and YouTube. What kind of content is on Netflix and YouTube, is it godly content, is it instilling healthy values and lessons? Usually not.  *We are in a culture crisis right now as the family is being stripped apart. Roughly 50% of Americans do not attend church, which is at a shocking low. There is still hope, however. God is the God of transformation and redemption.  *If your child has been exposed to inappropriate content online (which is happening at younger ages than ever before) there is still hope for your child.    REMEMBER: *Videogames are not the problem. Videogames are a tool which we as Christians can use to help instill these lessons and values to our kids. It's a matter of what the content is and how much.  *We are not a Christian nation anymore. Our kids need Christian support and resources just as much as other nations who receive missionaries.  *This resource isn't just for Christians. ALL people right now are looking for hope and light in this dark time. We have the ability to share that hope.    Connect with Somer!  Stay connected to Somer and the Love Where You Are podcast through her Facebook & Instagram!

Our culture is quickly crumbling, and parents should be equipped with the best tools and alternatives to build a stable and strong foundation for their families, so they want to learn more about God and be closer to Him. Thank you for being here today. Now, let's dive into the conversation!  Check out TruPlay!    FAVORITE TAKE-AWAYS: *Kids are on devices on average fifty-two and a half hours per week. What are they doing on those devices? Playing videogames, watching Netflix and YouTube. What kind of content is on Netflix and YouTube, is it godly content, is it instilling healthy values and lessons? Usually not.  *We are in a culture crisis right now as the family is being stripped apart. Roughly 50% of Americans do not attend church, which is at a shocking low. There is still hope, however. God is the God of transformation and redemption.  *If your child has been exposed to inappropriate content online (which is happening at younger ages than ever before) there is still hope for your child.    REMEMBER: *Videogames are not the problem. Videogames are a tool which we as Christians can use to help instill these lessons and values to our kids. It's a matter of what the content is and how much.  *We are not a Christian nation anymore. Our kids need Christian support and resources just as much as other nations who receive missionaries.  *This resource isn't just for Christians. ALL people right now are looking for hope and light in this dark time. We have the ability to share that hope.    Connect with Somer!  Stay connected to Somer and the Love Where You Are podcast through her Facebook & Instagram!

Video games are amazing, or at least they should be. While many video games are fun, few actually line up with the truths of the Bible. If we took Philippians 4:8 as our video games standard, very few would pass the test. Brent Dusing wants to change that. He's a Christian, father, and CEO of the gaming studio TruPlay Games. His goal is to create games that are fun to play and point back to truths about God.Brent is the first to say that you don't have to play video games, but if you do you should make sure it's something that is good for your heart and mind. TruPlay is here to help make that happen.Show Notes: https://bit.ly/3EoeJPr
