    Tony DeWeese (XP Church) on Sharing the Gospel with Gamers

    Welcome to The Culture Translator podcast. Today, we are posting an interview with Tony DeWeese from XP Church. XP Church exists to help share the gospel with gamers around the world, equipping them to know God, experience community, discover purpose, and make a difference. Growing up, Tony attended church but viewed God as just an apathetic overseer of his life. He also faced significant challenges in his early childhood, grappling with a physical disability and deep loneliness. Drawing from his own story, Tony is passionate about helping gamers find community and discover their purpose. Tony serves at XP Church as the Connections Pastor, hosting events, and helping gamers get connected and plugged in. For more parenting resources, go to axis.org
