Alright… let’s be honest. Youth pastors LOVE video games. We pass it off as being “culturally relevant” with our students… and some of us use gaming time on LIVE as “MINISTRY” time. I once convinced my wife that I needed XBOX Live to connect with students in our youth ministry. But… here’s the secret: We play because we like to. It’s like gaming is written on the DNA code of a youth pastor. and if that is true… we might as well embrace it!

I love to play video games, but I really stink at them. The truth is is that I don’t even own a video games system. I haven’t been able to convince my wife that it’s really a ministry expense. Can I write it off on my taxes?

I’m not religious, but it’s pretty cool that priests like videogames! remember, spread love!
