Alignment Explained - Blog

RE-Alignment

Season 1 · Episode 12

samedi 19 octobre 2024 • Duration 01:17:13

BE PREPARED FOLKS. Josh and Tony are a bit unhinged in this episode. LOL. They are pretty transparent and vulnerable as they discuss what it means to be properly aligned with God, or even how to re-align ourselves if we've drifted a bit. Remember that according to Psalms, God's word is a lamp to our feet and a light to our path.

Carnivals & Caravan Stops

Season 1 · Episode 13

vendredi 15 novembre 2024 • Duration 01:25:43

There is nothing better than a good celebration! Those times uplift, encourage, and produce joy inside of us. But what happens when you invited to a celebration in the middle of heartache, grief, or hurting? In this episode, Josh and Tony dive into some cool environmental scenarios to produce amazing story telling opportunities in at your gaming tables with carnivals (times of fun, laughter and joy) and caravan stops (times of reflection, processing, and character building). More importantly, the Word of God has much to say about both of those concepts when you feel like you’re on the mountain top and down deep in the valley. Sometimes this is not an easy path to understand or even go down, but we have one question for you: are you ready to journey with us down it?

Other Terms & Conditions

Season 1 · Episode 14

jeudi 28 novembre 2024 • Duration 01:33:47

You ever read all of the terms and condition’s when you update your phone, tablet, or computer? Yeah, we don’t either. But conditions we DO pay attention to are the conditions that we experience in D&D. They can impact gameplay tremendously, and Josh and Tony explore what some of those are. Also, they take a deep dive into what exactly is this Unconditional Love of God. It’s hard to fathom it; it’s hard to understand it; but we certainly are thankful for it every single day that it truly is a love that is unreserved and unlimited! We highly recommend sharing this one with a friend!
