Welcome to What Would Jesus Play?—where board games and the Bible come together in a way you've never seen before. Hosted by Daniel Connors from Around the Board and Joe Bragg from The Christian Board Gamers Podcast, this channel explores Scripture through the lens of modern board games. In each episode, we choose a character from the Bible and build a Top 10 list of board games we would love to play with them. Along the way, we uncover biblical insights, discuss the themes and mechanics of great games, and discover how faith and gaming can spark meaningful conversations. Whether we're imagining what game Moses would enjoy, what strategy would challenge Paul, or what we can learn from Esther through tabletop gaming, our goal is to entertain, encourage, and point people toward God's Word.

    Top 10 Board Games to Play with Jesus

    What board games would Jesus play? 🤔🎲 That’s the question we’re setting out to answer in the very first episode of What Would Jesus Play? Joe from the Christian Board Gamers Podcast and Daniel from Around the Board are teaming up to combine two things we love: Jesus and board games! For our first episode, we’re starting with Jesus himself. We each picked 10 board games that made us think about different aspects of Jesus’ life, ministry, teachings, and character. Some choices might surprise you, some might make perfect sense, and a few might spark some interesting conversations! This isn’t just a list of board games—it’s an opportunity to look at Jesus, the Bible, faith, and Christian themes through the lens of our favorite hobby: tabletop gaming. Whether you’re a Christian board gamer, a lifelong tabletop gamer, someone who enjoys Bible study, or you’re simply curious about what happens when faith and board games collide, we hope you’ll join us.

    In this split episode of Around The Board & The Christian Board Gamers Podcast, two members of each show give this format it's first big attempt, which would later spawn this new podcast dedicated to the format. The original episodes description: "Joe and Ray from the Christian Board Gamers Podcast join Daniel and John from the Around the Board podcast for a fun and funny top 10 list of games we’d play with the Apostle Paul. With plenty of laughs, some questionable picks, and a few vetoes along the way, this crossover episode is one you won’t want to miss."
