S8E6: Connecting with God through gaming with Ben Jones

In this episode of the Parenting for Faith podcast we are joined by Ben Jones from Missional Generation. We asked Ben all about connecting with God through gaming and how we can talk to our kids and teens about God through the games that they are playing. We also touched on AI and Ben shared some really helpful ideas on how we can have helpful and important conversations with our children about it. Ben Jones is the CEO and founder of Missional Generation. Ben is married to Hannah and they have two primary aged children. The family have lived in Leeds for many years and enjoy being part of the local Church and community. Ben runs, Missional Generation, a Christian charity based in the North of England that seeks to equip young people to live influential lives for God in all areas of life. MG employees full-time youth and children leaders and deployed them into the local churches for 6, 8, 12 hours to help weekly youth and children provision in the local churches. In recent years, Missional Generation has developed immersive digital technology resources using artificial intelligence, virtual reality, Augmented Reality, animation, and apps to create Bible devotionals and teachings as tools to engage children and youth in discussions that explore faith, mission, and evangelism all year round. MG is passionate about helping the church grow and become at the cutting edge of Society again and helping the church grow and find new ways to share the Christian faith and disciple the emerging generation.
