Gaming in the Gospel : I got a bad feeling about this - Episode 005

In Episode 005 of Gaming in the Gospel, "I Got a Bad Feeling About This," hosts David Calvert and Dave Wright tackle the "shiny object syndrome" of modern technology through the lens of faith.Drawing from the famous Star Wars quote and nostalgic memories of early flight simulators like Microsoft Flight Simulator and TIE Fighter, the Daves explore how our pursuit of the "next big thing"—from the latest iPhone to high-fidelity graphics—often reveals a deeper spiritual restlessness. They discuss the transition of life-changing tech into "paperweights," the subtle trap of covetousness in a digital age, and how to find lasting contentment in the Gospel rather than the next upgrade.Key Highlights:Nostalgic Gaming: Flying out of Chicago in early flight sims and pushing PCs to their breaking points.The "Shiny Object" Trap: Reflecting on the evolution of the iPhone and the cycle of tech obsolescence.Faith & Contentment: Identifying and repenting of envy and "tech-covetousness."Everyday Spirituality: Using our devices to connect with Scripture vs. getting lost in the scroll.Join the conversation: How do you balance your love for new tech with guarding your heart against envy?
