Who are we talking about when we talk about nerds? The reality is, you probably interact with a lot more nerds than you realize. In some ways, you may even be a nerd without realizing it!
There are times when it’s difficult or impossible to gather in person, and you may be scrambling to find ways to disciple your students. However, there’s a massive mission field just waiting for youth workers to plug into. You can connect with youth in a way that is both relational and deeply relevant to their lives—all without leaving your home or office. This mission field is the digital world of video games. There is tremendous value in gathering together with your students through the medium of video games, but it can be difficult to know where to start—or why you should! Love Thy Nerd, in partnership with Satellite Gaming and UYWI, have put together a collection of resources to help you and your students thrive through digital discipleship, not only during uniquely challenging times but far into the future.…
After his keynote "Genuine Love. Sincere Interest." Mark Lutz sits down with Mike Erre to dig deeper into what genuine love looks like in nerd culture.
In the gaming world, the phrase "Are ya winning son?" has become notorious. Nerds are tired of having someone ask about their passions with insincere interest. And I think all of us can relate to this. We all have something that we get excited to talk about - our eyes light up when someone asks about it. But we've also all experienced moments when as soon as we start talking about it, we see everyone around us lose interest. We recede inward, and learn not to share about what gets us excited. But we know both experientially, and neuroscientifically, that those moments when someone doesn't do that - when they engage and have sincere interest in our passions - are moments that form some of the deepest relational connections and attachments. And we know that it is on the foundation of those deep relational connections and attachments that we can most effectively speak truth into the lives of those around us.…
You may not know it, but there is a whole world of ministry happening right under your nose. 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, there are people livestreaming, chatting in WhatsApp, posting on social media, and gathering around table-top games, with the express mission to share the love of Jesus with nerds and nerd culture. Let us give you at least a small window into that world; what those ministries look like, and the impact they are having in the lives of real people, all over the globe. And, let us help give you eyes to see how great the need is to reach this community of over 3.2 billion people in even greater ways.…
