Valorant

A game that I personal enjoy playing is Valorant. It is a shooting game involving two teams with 5 players in each team.

As far as story and in-game mechanics, this game is relatively simple. It feels like capture the flag, but much more artistic. You can hop on after work, or during some down time, and spend time engaging with friends from far away, or down the street. Or, you can enjoy the game while speaking to people you have never met before, and be a kind voice in a harsh world.

It can be easier sometimes for people to congregate online than in person, especially when long distance is involved. I have spoken to people from all over the world and it is wonderful to hear snippets of life outside of my personal reality and to see God working across the globe. This is easy to do in Valorant because of the average thirty-minute matches and smaller team sizes. It invites conversation and teamwork.

Overall, when done through the power of the Holy Spirit, gaming can be a wonderful blessing and provide a way for more outreach to people that the church might not be able to reach because of traditional and media stigmas.

We need as many opportunities as possible to practice and portray God’s true character of love for our own growth and the blessing to others. Valorant provides just that.
