Join Nerd Pastor Nate as he draws parallels between the courage of Link in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and Joshua's strength in the Bible (Joshua 1:2-10). In this week's nerdy sermon from Checkpoint Church, we delve into the themes of strength, courage, and destiny in both gaming and scripture. We discuss how the journey of Link mirrors our own spiritual journeys, encouraging us to be strong, courageous, and constantly move forward. This sermon is part of our ongoing effort to bring faith, gaming, and real-life struggles together in a relatable and engaging way. Don't forget to share your moments of bravery in gaming in the comments below!

Checkpoint Church is the place where all people from all walks of life are always welcomed with loving arms. We strive to steer clear from the modern temptations of being too ‘churchy’ or judgmental. We are the safe space for those who haven’t felt welcomed by the church before.
