Nothing quite like a fist full of tickets when you're a child at an arcade, spending $40 in quarters so you can trade your tickets for something from Dollar Tree that won't last the drive home. But as we grow up, are we still chasing prizes? In ministry or simply living as a Christian, are we constantly expecting something back? The Church Nerds are here to tackle that topic and share some arcade stories too. ★ Support this podcast ★

The Church Nerds return, starting a new rhythm for the show. And what better topic than rhythm itself. Bubba & Anna look at video games that follow a daytime/nighttime rhythm or make aspects of the game limited time offerings, and the FOMO games like that can cause. Then, we look at how church's do the same thing with their events calendars. How can we find balance? ★ Support this podcast ★
