Reflections from the community: 

I randomly decided to draw this. Jesus loves you 

I've been thinking about developing video games based on biblical stories, and I'm curious whether there's actually an audience for something like this among Christians.

I'm a software developer, a Christian, and someone who has loved video games since childhood. One thing I've always wondered is why we don't have more high-quality games based on the Bible.

I'm not talking about simple Bible trivia games or educational apps. I mean actual games with engaging gameplay, beautiful pixel art, interesting mechanics, and meaningful stories, similar to what you'd find in regular indie games, but set in the biblical world.

Here are a few ideas I've been exploring:

1. David – Action RPG

A pixel-art action RPG where you play as young David, starting as a shepherd protecting his flock from wild animals, eventually facing Goliath and experiencing his journey toward becoming king.

2. Moses – Survival / City Builder (similar to Frostpunk)

Imagine managing the Israelite camp during their 40 years in the wilderness. You'd have to manage resources, organize the tribes, deal with conflicts and rebellions, maintain order, and keep the people alive while following God's commandments. The Tabernacle would be at the center of the camp.

3. Joshua – Turn-Based Strategy

A strategy game inspired by games like Heroes of Might and Magic, where you lead the Israelites into the Promised Land. You'd explore territories, manage armies, make strategic decisions, and experience the conquest of Canaan.

4. Paul the Apostle – Story-Driven RPG

A narrative RPG where you travel across the Roman Empire, establish Christian communities, preach the Gospel, and deal with persecution, false teachings, and conflicts within the early Church. Instead of traditional combat, much of the gameplay would revolve around dialogue, decisions, relationships, and helping communities remain faithful.

My goal would be to make games that are genuinely fun to play, not just games that happen to have a Christian label. I'd also want to stay as faithful to Scripture as possible while making the gameplay engaging.

I've attached some AI-generated concept images to help visualize what I have in mind. These are just visual references, not actual game screenshots. If I decide to develop these games, my intention is to create the actual artwork and game assets myself rather than use AI-generated art.

So I'm genuinely curious:

Would you actually play games like these?

Would you be interested in experiencing biblical stories through different game genres, or do you think Christianity and gaming don't really mix well?

And if you could choose just one of these ideas, which one would you want to play the most?

I'd love to hear your opinions, even if you think it's a terrible idea. I'm trying to understand whether other Christians would actually be interested in something like this before investing serious time into development.

Hi all, I am new to Reddit and usually just read but tonight something happened to me that was just so amazing I’ve been sharing the story everywhere I can. I am a 26-year-old woman who is in my senior year of nursing school. I am currently away at clinical training and my entire family is home. I have been talking about eating dinner at one restaurant all evening, I get off and just drag myself around not going to eat yet. Finally I decided I would go get dinner so I can get ready for bed, on the way there I change my mind and switch to a different restaurant. I go in and there are 3 girls sitting there, I order and I go to pay. One of the girls walks up to me and asks me “can I pay for you food?” I said “oh no it’s okay” I thought oh geez I changed into my sweats I probably look like I don’t have the money to get my dinner, and she goes “please God put it on my heart to pay for your dinner.”. She paid for my dinner and asked me if she could pray for me. She then hugs me and says “Jesus loves you”. I never told anyone this but earlier in my shift I had a older man I was caring for, who has dementia and was not talking clearly all day grab my hand at the end of my shift, he said “do you believe in God?” I said “yes I do”, he said “do you know who Jesus is?” I said “Yes, Jesus is Gods son”. He then said “Yes, Jesus is the son of God and Jesus loves you.”. I have always been a Christian, I was raised in the church but in the last few years I have been talking a step back and not leaning into my faith like I should, but this past year has been challenging and this past week I fell apart. I didn’t talk to my husband, family or anyone, I just prayed. I told God I felt like I wasn’t smart enough to be a nurse. I told him I wouldn’t be mad if this wasn’t the direction he wanted my life to go but I just prayed and prayed for him to give me answers and point me in the right direction. Tonight I cried, I cried because I always heard of people hearing from God but I never thought I would be one. I know God is real and I’m so grateful to have that experience, I am so grateful to be able to share my story. I am so grateful to have turned to him in my hardest times. I will forever remember tonight.

I started a print club and just wanted to share my first drawing!

I'm about to draw my way through the entire Bible: one book, one drawing, every month. 66 books.

We start where everything starts: Genesis.

Genesis | The Last Evening in Eden

This piece captures the first disobedience: Adam and Eve believing the serpent's lies, and their final night in the garden. It's the moment everything changed, and it's where this whole story begins.

I’ve never been particularly religious, but I took it upon myself to pray for a god to reveal himself in some way (no specific religion). Within 2 days of the prayer I found the first one and the other 2 followed in the next 2 weeks in different places. I’ve never seen one before until now and haven’t seen any since but I just wanted to share because this is how I found out religion is real and want to encourage others to believe.

On Friday, October 23, 2026, gunmen opened fire during a funeral at St. George’s Greek Orthodox Church in Hamoud, Karak Governorate, Jordan. What should have been a moment of mourning and prayer became a tragedy for the victims, their families, and the wider community.
According to Jordan’s official news agency, Petra, nine people were killed and 34 were injured. The attack shocked the country and left many families grieving for their loved ones.
For three days, security forces searched for those responsible. On Monday, October 26, Jordanian authorities announced that three suspects had been arrested following an armed confrontation at an abandoned house in Karak. All three were injured during the operation, and weapons and ammunition were reportedly seized. No security personnel were reported injured.
As a Christian, I find this tragedy deeply painful. A church should be a place of prayer, peace, and comfort, especially during a funeral. It is heartbreaking to think that people gathered to mourn a loved one were caught in such violence.
Christianity teaches us to love our neighbors, pray for those who suffer, and reject hatred. Jesus said, “Blessed are the peacemakers” (Matthew 5:9). We may struggle to understand why God allows such suffering, but we should never confuse the actions of violent people with the love of God.
I also believe that faith does not require us to ignore injustice or pretend that we have all the answers. We can grieve, ask difficult questions, demand justice, and still hold on to hope.
My prayers are with the victims, the injured, their families, and everyone in Jordan affected by this tragedy. May God comfort those who are grieving, bring healing to the wounded, and guide our communities toward peace rather than hatred.

Earlier today I had a DM after I commented on this sub. They were supposedly linked to an "Orphanage" in Uganda. This is a known scam so if you get a message similar to this make sure you report or ignore.

I’m really trying to keep faith and trust. I will never not believe in God or love him but I just don’t understand. I’m the oldest and I heard that the oldest are closer to God but I feel like I’m being punished, I know he doesn’t punish but this grief and pain I’m in forever now just don’t understand. I know my baby is with him but is alone? he doesn’t have his mom or dad i feel uncomfortable without him but I know he’s having the time of his life and he got blessed by going straight to heaven he only knew love and he never knew pain of anykind. its bittersweet bc I know my little man is having an amazing time but I’m suffering. It’ so strange i want to be with my baby but I can’t choose that bc I can’t risk not seeing him again. how do people do this? Like Job lost whole family and he still kept his faith in God im so confused

I went on an uber ride to the store. I wasn’t sure of the whole situation, she was a wonderfully kind lady. We talked. I went in the store, came out and she gave me something. Then we talked more and I couldn’t stop crying. She knew what I was going thru without me saying. I could feel my father in every breath I tried to take. God is real and the numerous times he tried to show me that I just brushed off, today’s treats and love from a stranger are proof. God is alive!!

Would you help them? Or would you turn them into the authorities?

You may have heard of the saying "we are alone, and we shall die alone," which in a nutshell because no one understands us completely and knows our everyday thoughts, and only you do. We are always alone till the moment we die.

That is partially true. But for those who trust in Jesus. That he died on the cross for their sins, was buried, and rose from the dead. So we could have eternal life. They are never alone.

Because we have the Holy Spirit living within us. Who has been sealed within us as a guarantee of our salvation till the day of redemption (ephesians 1: 14-15) and our bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit who lives within us (1st Corinthians 6: 19-20)

The Holy Spirit is put comforter, friend, and counsellor. Who knows everything about us. Believers will never be alone even when their life is flashing before their eyes, the Holy Spirit with us up until the last moment, and then forever more in heaven. Jesus himself said he will never leave us, not forsake us. And he will be us even till the end of the age.

So if you're a Christian reading this. Know you are never alone, and The Holy Spirit knows all your thoughts at any given moment. And he will always keep you company and be ready to listen to you.

And if you are not a Christian and want to become one. Then, put your trust in Jesus. And know you will never be alone ever again.

Religious liberty is very important for a free society, which is why its abuse, turning it upside-down and inside-out, by using it for religious supremacy must be called out and rejected:

I'm seeing so many people hate on the Christians in this video..why?

I can just see a bunch of Christians singing in a forest known for suicide. Perhaps they believe that positive blessing and energy will protect the visitors of the forest,so they have pure intentions?

Something I noticed reading Acts with a rough timeline next to it. Paul almost never stayed anywhere long. Thessalonica was about three Sabbaths before he had to get out at night (17:2, 17:10). Corinth was eighteen months (18:11). Ephesus was his longest, around three years (20:31).

The part that stopped me is Acts 14:21-23. On the way home from the first trip he goes back through cities where the churches had existed for maybe a year at most, and appoints elders in every one of them. Then he commits them to the Lord and leaves. He didn’t wait until they were mature by our standards. He trusted local men, and he trusted the Holy Spirit with them.

Titus 1:5 is the same pattern. Titus was left in Crete to appoint elders in every town, not to run the churches himself.

There’s an old book on this, Missionary Methods: St Paul’s or Ours? by Roland Allen. He wrote it in 1912 after serving as a missionary in China. His argument was that Western missions kept foreign workers in charge for generations because they never trusted local believers the way Paul did. More than a hundred years later a lot of it still lands.

Where this hit me was my own giving. For years most of what I gave to missions went toward people from here going somewhere for a while. These days I support a boy in Kenya and the local man I pay to tutor him. The tutor isn’t a visitor. He’ll be there next year and the year after that, whether or not anyone from overseas ever shows up. When I ask which of those two kinds of giving looks more like Acts 14, it isn’t close.

I don’t think outsiders have no place. Paul was an outsider everywhere he went, and so was Barnabas. But Paul seems to have judged his work by what kept going after he left, and that question rarely gets asked about a trip or a project. What is still running a year after the last visitor flies home, and who is running it?

3 John 8 says that when we support faithful workers, we become fellow workers with them. I used to read that as being about the missionaries we send. I read it now as being just as much about the person who was already there.

It has been a very sad week for Christians around the world. There have already been two mass attacks on our Orthodox brothers and sisters. In Jordan, and now in Ethiopia. Five of those who died in Ethiopia were just children.

Mourning is in our hearts. May God have mercy on their souls, on their families and on the injured who are fighting for their lives. May God grant the grace of repentance to those who do evil.

Wes Huff says that this ancient Christian Hymn proves that the earliest Christians thought of Jesus in the same way that Trinitarians do. I discuss why this is not the case.

I took a walk outside this morning just as the sun was coming up. Seeing the dew on the grass and the way the light hit the trees really made me think about the incredible artistry of God. It's so easy to get caught up in the daily grind but moments like these remind me of His constant presence and the wonder of it all.

And how can I become reborn and have the Holy Spirit live in me ?

I'm genuinely curious about those who view the Bible being the literal words of God (presumably from the autographs or originals ... that's another rabbit hole I don't want to get into now). The Hebrew, Greek and a little bit of Aramaic, then are literally the words that God gave. Wouldn't it then make sense to be able to read these fluently? Translations are very often unable to convey things like nuance, poetry, and style in the original languages and many have a very obvious (especially if you can read the original) theological bias. So given this widespread belief in Christianity, why are so few able to actually read the texts in the original languages?
