Design and Religion

Gamification

Van Shea Sedita Season 1 Episode 5

Rev. Dr. Jason Santos visits us to discuss the intersection of game design and practical theology, the importance of adapting strategies in both religious practices and organizational systems, and the role of identity formation for youths in a rapidly changing world. 

Discussions touch on the challenges of defining right and wrong in modern society, the value of intergenerational practices in religious communities, and the potential benefits of incorporating games into various settings, such as youth ministry and corporate meetings. We cover the importance of critical thinking, contextualization, and understanding the underlying reasons for religious and organizational practices.

We envision a world where design and religion work together to spread love, empathy, and charity faster than divisiveness, selfishness, and hate. To achieve this, we aim to bring the stories of those driving this change—both big and small—into the spotlight, allowing ideas for positive transformation to spread quickly and reach those who need them most.
