There was a time when I wrote often—about faith, life, and video games. It was a passion, a calling even. But somewhere along the way, that passion faded.
Not my faith. That remained, deepened even. I became a Sunday school teacher, a deacon. I poured myself into people, into service.
And life? It didn’t stop—it got more complex. Looking back, my dream of blending Christianity and gaming feels a bit naïve now. I wanted to carve out a space where both could coexist, where thoughtful engagement could thrive. But the digital landscape shifted. Sites came and went. The world moved on.
Still, I game.
I run from robots, shoot Nazis, battle dragons. The adventures continue. I just don’t write about them anymore.
Now, in 2025—nearly 23 years since JohnnyBGamer began—I find myself wondering about its original mission. The internet has evolved beyond anything we imagined: streamers, influencers, endless video. Simplicity gave way to spectacle.
And yet, the heart of it all—faith, story, play—still matters. Maybe it’s time to rediscover what that looks like today?
