Is there a place for gamers, otaku, and nerds in the church? Of course there is—or there should be. It’s been a tough journey, but inroads are being made.

Our anime ministry was mentioned today among many others, including a bunch we’ve partnered with over the years, by @jaclynsparrish in @ct_mag.

Christianity and anime blend together in ways beyond the superficial—beyond evil churches, nebulous ideas about teamwork, and declaring “Frieren is Christian.” There are deeper themes, strong ideas that encourage faith, and framework to build community.

Join @shortstuffarts of @fewofthemany and Twwk from Beneath the Tangles tonight at @animematsuri as we host a panel about this topic:

Biblical Themes in Anime
Panel Room 361
Friday, 5:30 PM

See you there!

Hinagiku’s story and past in Agents of the Four Seasons is full of pain and hardship, with those most deeply connected to her carrying immense guilt for their perceived shortcomings in the tragedy involving her. But forgiveness and grace is the power to break through even the most painful pasts, both in this arc and in your own lives.

This week, @mhelrichbooks digs into Hinagiku’s forgiveness in Agents of the Four Seasons and how grace can release you and others from guilt as well. Read her anime devotional + see a wrap-up of all this week’s content on Above Anime, our Substack newsletter.

“Pop culture was a refuge.”

That’s how Jordan Calhoun describes the role stories played as he navigated what we would now call the religious trauma he experienced growing up in the church.

Our full conversation with @jordanmcalhoun is out now. I think it’ll challenge you in the best of ways, and I hope you’ll leave preconceptions at the door and give it a watch.

“I felt so normal watching The Prince of Egypt.”

In this clip, Jordan Calhoun explains how that landmark film meant so much for him as a kid, hitting the three parts of his identity—religious, cultural, and racial. We’ll drop the full interview with @jordanmcalhoun, writer of the memoir, Piccolo Is Black: A Memoir of Race, Religion, and Pop Culture, tomorrow on YouTube!

As children, we may not have the vocabulary to critique representation. Instead, we often respond by finding the characters that do resonate with us and making them our own.

This clip is from my upcoming Something Genuine interview with @jordanmcalhoun, author of Piccolo Is Black, where we discuss race, fandom, representation, faith, and the stories that shape us.

🎙️ Full interview drops Thursday.

“Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise—especially you.”

[Twwk] I’ve been writing a lot about wisdom lately—but my interview with Anastasia Munoz conveys that important quality better than anything I would say myself. I learned a lot from my conversation with @anastasiamunoz_va, and I think you will, too.

🎙️ The full interview is out now on YouTube. Hit the links in our stories or highlights, or just find us on YT!
