In the longest episode to date, Ray & Joe chat about the game It's a Wonderful World before diving into a passionate and thoughtful conversation on eschatology. Joe shares his personal journey through different end-times perspectives, what God has been teaching him along the way, and the importance of approaching these conversations with humility, grace, and genuine curiosity. Together, they discuss the reality that too many theological conversations become driven by assumptions, labels, pride, or division rather than honest dialogue and understanding. This episode is a reminder that even when we disagree, we are still called to engage one another as brothers and sisters in Christ with love, patience, and respect.

Ray and Joe are back together for a classic Christian Board Gamers Podcast conversation full of life updates, board game stories, technical difficulties, and a meaningful dive into how God refines His people. The episode starts with Ray sharing about his role in the upcoming film Just One More, Joe recapping FPC Con, Game Changer, Love Thy Nerd, Christian Board Gamers’ four-year celebration, and some recent BGA plays. Then the conversation turns toward Everdell Silver Frost, the fire-and-snow mechanic, and how it reflects the refining work of God in seasons of difficulty. Joe also shares behind-the-scenes updates on his developing game Reborn, including its shift into a cooperative deck-building experience centered on spiritual growth, sanctification, Scripture, and the armor of God.

Joe and Ray welcome Rusty Lumpkin of Three Nail Games to the Christian Board Gamers Podcast for a conversation about faith, testimony, game design, and the importance of meaningful time together.

Rusty shares his personal walk with Christ, how God used different seasons of life to shape him, and how Three Nail Games was born out of prayer and a desire to glorify God through tabletop gaming. The episode also explores family, ministry, board game publishing, and the deeper connections games can create around the table.
