You’ll walk away with practical strategic actions that you and your team can take to better disciple students. Learn more about the Youth Ministry Online Summit here.   The video game industry is worth more than the movie industry. It’s also worth more than the music industry. But how much do you really know about the impact that video games are having on teenagers? Is there anything redeemable there? What are the right ways to have conversations about video games with the students in your group?   You can learn more about Kevin by checking out his Game Development program at Trinity Western University or at his faculty profile.   You can buy Kevin’s book Of Games and God on Amazon.
