Hope is very important! In this episode, I explore why, and also how cynicism can cause us to become hopeless. I also go over, for lack of a less odd sounding phrase, hope hygiene. The Hope of Christianity: https://youtu.be/4xcSq2MUbrI Also, I'm going to be taking a hiatus from creating Geekdom of God. I've been making it for about a year now, and I've learned a lot—including that I need to take some time off to refine the creation process. Geekdom of God will return this autumn! (Or spring if you live in the southern hemisphere.) Note: This hiatus will not be affecting the video game content.

There are many today who claim that women must dress modestly so that men don't sexually mistreat them. In effect, they argue that women must try to control the sexual desires of men. But what does the Bible say about this topic? Does it reinforce this idea, or does it refute it? Watch this video to find out!

In this Geekdom of God episode, I examine the impulse to try to use the law to enforce moral behavior. This requires analyzing how the law works in a general sense, as well as its effectiveness in producing the desired result of eliminating immoral behavior.

Christian theologians have long debated whether we have free will or if we are predestined. This debate can be rather confusing, so I endeavor to break down and analyse these concepts and topics in this video.

Our culture has fed us the idea that romantic relationships—particularly the spousal one—are the best type of relationship out there, and that having one is the key to happiness, if not more. In this week's episode, I'm going to look at and challenge this idea. Join my Discord Server: https://discord.gg/s6ajzsg Support me at https://www.patreon.com/Sientir

The Trinity is an important theological concept in Christianity about the nature of God, but it can often be confusing or ambiguous. In this episode, I delve into this topic to explain what the Trinity is! Join my Discord Server: https://discord.gg/s6ajzsg Support me at https://www.patreon.com/Sientir

In this episode, I discuss the similarities and differences between the Old and New Covenants (that is, Judaism and Christianity). This includes things like the general structure of the Covenants, what their purposes are, along with other similarities and differences. Due to the way I handled the creative process, I did overlook an obvious similarity in that the Old Testament is an important religious text for both religions. I didn't realize I'd forgotten this until it was too late to add it in somewhere. Join my Discord Server: https://discord.gg/s6ajzsg Support me at https://www.patreon.com/Sientir

Then you've come to the right place, because in this episode of Geekdom of God, I go over these things!

In this week's episode, I talk about persecution and suffering for being a Christian. While it is something we should expect, we have to be careful to not automatically assume that persecution is indicative of us doing the right thing. Also, it is important that we understand what it means to represent Christ, which is actually rather connected to this previous issue.

As the episode title implies, in this episode, I examine reasons why Christians should associate with sinners. I also explore some of the things that can happen when we don't.

John 3:16-21 is a powerful encapsulation of the Gospel message, but we often cut it short by looking at just John 3:16. Please join me in this careful look at the entirety of this powerful passage. Join my Discord Server: https://discord.gg/s6ajzsg Support me at https://www.patreon.com/Sientir

After Jesus was baptized by John, He was led into the wilderness by the Spirit to be tempted by the devil. There's a lot we can learn from these temptations with a close examination of them, which is the purpose of this episode!

In this episode, I discuss the dangers of cultural Christianity, as well as what that is. To do this requires me to also discuss legalism in depth and the way that people use religion as a moral security blanket.

The Bible often instructs us to be selfless, not selfish, and humble, not arrogant. This focus can easily cause us to overlook the importance of loving ourselves. Join my Discord Server: https://discord.gg/s6ajzsg Support me at https://www.patreon.com/Sientir

This episode is about the Tenth Commandment, which prohibits coveting. What's particularly interesting about this is that coveting is an internal desire, rather than an action. I dig into this aspect of it as I examine the consequences of covetousness. Join my Discord Server: https://discord.gg/s6ajzsg Support me at https://www.patreon.com/Sientir

The Ninth Commandment prohibits the giving of false testimony. This isn't just about lying—it's about trying to twist and distort justice. I believe that this episode demonstrates how the Bible addresses many of the issues we're facing today online, especially with social media. Come check it out!

This episode is about the Eighth Commandment, which prohibits theft. In it, I talk about some of the less direct ways that people might commit theft. I also talk about taxes and digital piracy, which are relevant to this topic. Join my Discord Server: https://discord.gg/s6ajzsg Support me at https://www.patreon.com/Sientir

This episode is on the Seventh Commandment, which prohibits adultery. As such, this episode talks a lot about sexual relationships, marriage, and lust.

In this episode, I talk about the Sixth Commandment, which prohibits murder. While that is very straightforward in-and-of itself, I think there's a lot to learn by looking at the line between murder and killing. I do that in this episode by examining what things the Bible indicates are killings, but not murders—which leaves everything else as murders.
