Summary
Is your husband child a gamer? (Just kidding.)
Is it hard for you to relate?
Do you wonder if there’s any redeeming value in it?
Have you wondered what the Bible would say about gaming?
Are you lacking a framework for determining what’s appropriate and what's not?
If you responded “yes” to any of the above, today’s your lucky day!
Drew Dixon is the cofounder of Love Thy Nerd, and has been speaking + writing about video games for over a decade. Today he’s answering the questions we’re all asking on behalf of our kids that love video games… perhaps a little bit too much.
His new book Know Thy Gamer: A Parent’s Guide to Video Games is a great resource on gaming, and I so appreciate him bringing practical advice today on parental controls, free to play games, and loot boxes (I didn’t know either).
If you live with a gamer or know someone who does, this is a great way to expand your knowledge base on the real truth about gaming.

| 0:00.0 | Christian Parenting. |
| 0:03.5 | This is Cynthia Yannoff, and you're listening to Pardon the Mess. |
| 0:16.1 | Each week we have honest discussions about the ups and downs of parenting and the lessons God is teaching us along the way. It's real, it's fun, and it's biblical. Life is messy. Don't walk |
| 0:26.1 | the parenting road alone. Hey friends, glad you're with us today. Welcome to Pardon the Mess. |
| 0:35.7 | We are in a series where we're talking |
| 0:37.6 | about the real truth, the real truth and things that impact our parenting every day, |
| 0:41.1 | the real truth and things that impact our spiritual life and the juxtaposition between those two. |
| 0:46.6 | Are you so impressed? I just use that word. I've been really wanting to use juxtaposition |
| 0:49.8 | because everywhere I go, I hear it. Is it somehow a new word? I don't think so, but everybody's using |
| 0:54.9 | it. So I felt like I should use it. And then when I did, it felt really odd. But I did it nonetheless. |
| 0:59.4 | So here we are. We are talking about the real truth in gaming today. And Drew Dixon is with us. |
| 1:05.4 | Again, he has love thy nerd.com, which is an awesome website that is all about gaming. And he's been on once before. |
| 1:14.3 | And I've got to tell you that he really had an impact on so many of you. People came up to me |
| 1:18.8 | afterwards and emailed me different things saying it really helped them understand their kids |
| 1:22.7 | that are gamers. And in a world where we focus so often on our kids that are doing sports or whatever it may be, |
| 1:29.6 | we don't ever really focus on our kids that really, really love gaming. |
| 1:33.1 | And so I'm just thankful that this is his lane. |
| 1:35.8 | He loves to talk about it. |
| 1:37.0 | And he's going to give us all kinds of great ideas, things to think about in just a worldview |
| 1:42.1 | and a biblical view together at how to look at gaming. |
| 1:45.9 | And so it's great to have Drew Dixon here. |
| 1:47.8 | He has a new book coming out and I actually have it sitting here. |
