"Pixels and Parables: How Video Games Can Make Us Better" with Dr. Benjamin Chicka

Today, I discuss the ethical and theological significance of video games with Dr. Benjamin Chicka. Together, we explore the world of gaming and the overlooked but near endless possibilities for virtue cultivation within digital worlds. Dr. Chicka brings nuance and originality to the world of theology and Tillichian scholarship so this is an episode you don’t want to miss. If you’re interested in hearing conversations  like these beyond the context of Paul Tillich, check out Tillich Today's sister podcast, Byte-Geist.
