Video games often get a bad reputation as isolating and a waste of time. But what if we looked at how gaming can build deep, meaningful connection and discipleship between youth and mentors? Welcome to The Thriving Family, a Focus on the Family Canada podcast. For today’s episode, you’re in for a fascinating conversation with Jamie and Jessica Harris, founders of the ministry Satellite Gaming. Satellite Gaming points students to Jesus Christ by building relationships through video games. Jamie is so passionate about video games, but this passion is eclipsed by his heart for youth and teens, and reaching this often overlooked demographic through discipleship. Join us for an in-depth conversation about faith, family, parenting, and the bright side of video games.
