And not just the games themselves, but the entire experience: the music, the collectibles, the stories, and the joy we’ve shared during our countless virtual adventures. But as much as we enjoy all things gaming and nerd culture, our greatest passion is our faith in Jesus Christ. For over nine years we’ve combined our desire to reach and encourage our fellow gamers through our online writings as well as in video and podcast form, connecting lessons from our gaming experiences and other “nerdy” adventures with the eternal truths of Scripture. We invite all gamers, non-gamers, our fellow nerds, and anyone else who is seeking God to join us in finding Him… in the world of video games and beyond. -*Arielle @Finding God in Video Games* ![10](https://faithconconvention.com/hs-fs/hubfs/10.png?width=107&height=134&name=10.png)Mike Morejon is a Christian gamer, writer, and founder of **Gaming & God**, a blog dedicated to exploring faith through video games.
