Episode 4 Summary
- We often only talk about the content in games, but the fact that we actually have to play/perform games also affects us.
- Games can help us realize that our choices, in video games and also in real life, can have tangible effects.
- Games can also teach us the basic steps of learning, and they can remind us that failure is part of what helps us learn.
Discussion Questions
-
Do you like the fact games give their players a lot of choice? Do you think movies or TV shows would be better or worse if the audience had a say in what happened on screen?
-
Do you feel like you have an internal locus or and external locus? Sometimes it varies from situation to situation, but it’s important to identify how we view ourselves and our place in the world.
-
How do you tend to respond to failure? Do you feel defeated? Do you instantly decide that you, yourself, are a failure? Think of some ways you can break the cycle of those thoughts.
Diving Deeper
Luke 10:1-12
Read Luke 10:1-12. In this section of Scripture, Jesus appoints 72 apostles to go out and represent him. Often, we forget that we are called to impact the world around us for Jesus and bring the Kingdom of God. We have been given spiritual authority by the Holy Spirit. Discuss these ideas with your group. How might this knowledge affect the way you view yourselves?
