    Roll, Fight, Live: Ward TCG and the Active Nature of Faith (with Iron Range Sports Cards)

    Episode Description

    What happens when the fast-paced, high-stakes battle of a modern tabletop card game mirrors the everyday journey of spiritual conviction?

    In this episode, we dive headfirst into the world of the Ward Trading Card Game (Ward TCG)—the breakout, dice-fueled tabletop game making waves with its 90s retro comic-book art, PvP duels, and massive raid boss challenges.

    First, we are joined by a very special guest: the owner of Iron Range Sports Cards. We chat about the current landscape of local game stores (LGS), what makes a new TCG catch fire in the community, and why collectors and players alike are turning their attention to Ward.

    Finally, we explore how the action-oriented gameplay of Ward TCG reflects the dynamic, movement-required nature of the Christian faith.

  • Gotta Catch 'Em All: Rare Cards, Hidden Treasures, and Infinite Worth
    Jun 23 2026
    Ever wondered what makes a piece of cardboard worth thousands of dollars? In this episode, we dive into the world of Pokémon! First, we trace a brief history of the iconic franchise and revisit several infamous incidents and controversies that rocked the franchise. Next, we head to the convention floor for an exclusive interview with a Pokémon card vendor. He shares the story of how he went from fan, to collector to vendor. Finally, we connect the dots between modern collecting and ancient truth. We compare the skyrocketing prices of holographic cards to the infinite value God places on you. Using the Parable of the Pearl of Great Price and the Parable of the Treasure Hidden in a Field (Matthew 13:44-46), we explore how God views you as His ultimate prize—and why He is the greatest treasure we could ever find.

  • Spider-Noir: Finding Hope & Renewal
    Jun 10 2026

    Can a gritty, rain-slicked 1930s superhero story teach us about spiritual renewal? In this episode, we are diving deep into the monochrome world of the highly anticipated series, Spider-Noir. Do you like interesting cinematography? Are you weary of heroes in bright spandex? Do you love grounded characters and stories? Throw on a trench coat, pop in a candy cigarette and turn on Spier-Noir!

    On this episode, we like to go beyond the fun stuff and dive into something that will help our spiritual lives. We read from Isaiah 53 and briefly explore the idea of renewal in Christ. Jesus faced pain, rejection and sorow, yet he rose from the grave. We can similarly experience resurrection in Christ.
