    Deer Listeners, it's been an honor. Over the last 9 years, we have dedicated this show to reforming the way Christians engage and interact with gaming, proving that gaming can be done to the glory of God. The question then becomes how. It's been an amazing ride and we want to thank you all for coming along this ride with us. Thank you for your support over the years.
    You can keep up with us over in the Discord and this channel, as Logan continues his journey through the Trails series.

    Episode 256 - GTA VI Is Real! Now What?

    As the sun begins to set on TRG, big things happen in the gaming industry. We get our first look at GTA 6, hear just how bad things are within Bungie, and reminisce over topics and games we won't get to cover in 2024. But we have been enjoying some incredible games such as Alan Wake 2, Super Mario Wonder, and Logan sort of is close to finishing Trails of Cold Steel 4? Hey, at least he has a swanky Christmas sweater.

My Favorite Podcast

I stumbled upon The Reformed Gamers podcast a few years ago during a time when I was questioning if as a Christian I was wasting my time playing video games or I even considered if my gaming was sinful. I grew up playing video games and I play with most of my friends so this concern greatly bothered me because I love video games but I also want to glorify God. The internet did not really have much to say on this topic except a few people either condemning it or saying it’s ok in moderation without much detail from that. Then I found Episode 115- Gaming to the Glory of God. I recommend this episode to all Christian gamers, especially if they are considering the same questions I had. Logan, Adam, and the many guests they have on the show prove that you can glorify God through gaming and parallel Biblical themes with the stories from games. I did not listen to podcasts much before I found this one. I look forward to every new episode! Thank you all for continuing to make good, quality content!

Top Notch Podcast!

Just listened to Episode 222, so good! So fun to hear the backstory of how Camilla, Logan’s wife got into gaming. Great job guys! The artwork, production, and content is top notch!
