Wondering what All Saints Day has to do with nerds, geeks, and gamers? In this episode of the Checkpoint Church Podcast, we talk Apocalypse Hotel, Witch Watch, Duck Detective: The Ghost of Glamping, our Pixel Pilgrimage through Keeper, and the “saints” of games & anime that shaped our faith and fandoms.We’re a Christian gaming / nerd ministry podcast for people who love video games, anime, books, and Jesus—and don’t want to explore faith alone.Join our Discord: https://discord.gg/checkpointchurchSupport Checkpoint Church: https://www.checkpointchurch.com/supportGo directly to our Giving: https://bit.ly/givecheckpointSubscribe to the Newsletter: https://bit.ly/tothepointnewsFollow the blog: https://www.checkpointchurch.com/blogRead Cozy Tea Pastor's blog on All Saints Day: https://open.substack.com/pub/cozyteapastor/p/remembering-the-games-that-changed?r=1wb4re&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=falseTimecodes:0:00 - Intro1:00 - Watch/Play/Read14:10 - October Club Debrief33:15 - Ad: Pixel Pilgrimage36:15 - Apocalypse Hotel Nerdy Sermon Discussion47:45 - All Saint's Day for Nerds1:06:00 - How did you Checkpoint this week?Checkpoint Church is the place where all people from all walks of life are always welcomed with loving arms.
